The objective of this study was to determine the robustness of the factorial structure of the Core Competencies for Native Language Learners (CCNLL) framework for Taiwanese fifth- and sixth-grade elementary school students. To understand the components of core competencies (CCs) and measure how these components interact in native language learners (NLLs), the first part of this study examined the quality of CCNLL items by applying the Delphi panel method to three NLLs subjects. The second and third parts of this study evaluated whether the CCNLL framework appropriately assesses the CCs of students. In total, 817 valid responses were collected from NLLs of Hakka (n = 319), Southern Min (n = 277), and indigenous languages (n = 221). We concluded that the CCNLL is an appropriate tool for measuring and tracking the CCs development of Taiwanese elementary students during the learning of their native languages under the new curriculum guidelines. A group invariance test revealed that the CCNLL demonstrated configuration invariance for measuring the theoretical structure of the CCs of NLLs learning Hakka, Southern Min, or indigenous languages. However, the test also revealed that the factor loading invariance requirements for the three NLLs subjects were unmet, with the weights of items differing among the three NLLs subjects. The study results verified the validity of the CCNLL, and suggestions were proposed. |
