| Abstract: | In this study, it was aimed to translate and adapt the Computational Thinking Multidimensional Test (CTMT) developed by Kang et al. (2023) into Turkish and to investigate its psychometric qualities with Turkish university students. Following the translation procedures of the CTMT with 12 multiple-choice questions developed based on real-life situations, the data were collected from 359 university students studying in different disciplines of a state university in the northern part of Türkiye. The structure validity and item quality of the Turkish version of CTMT were verified using multidimensional item response theory and the results showed that the Turkish test has good psychometric quality. In addition, its structure and item difficulty and discrimination characteristics are similar to the original test. Therefore, it can be stated that the Turkish version of CTMT can be used as an effective and valid assessment tool to evaluate the computational thinking skills of Turkish university students. |
