![]() ![]() The application of 10 IB learner profile attributes is in line with the 21st century learning outcome, which is to enhance and cultivate thinking skills towards creative, innovative, and critical thinking. ![]() These 10 IB learner profile attributes can be applied through the implementation of teaching and learning practices, using the IBMYP approach over five years of schooling. The effectiveness of the implementation of the IBMYP approach can be assessed based on the level of IB learner profile, namely, inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective. These following 10 schools are known as International Baccalaureate World School (IBWS) MOE: (1) the Malay College Kuala Kangsar, Perak (2) Tunku Kurshiah College, Negeri Sembilan (3) Sekolah Menengah Sains Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra, Kelantan (4) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Sheikh Abdul Malek, Terengganu (5) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Putrajaya Presint 9(2), Federal Territory of Putrajaya (6) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultanah Bahiyah, Kedah (7) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato’ Sheikh Ahmad, Perlis (8) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Tualang, Pahang (9) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sungai Tapang, Sarawak and (10) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Pantai, Federal Territory of Labuan. IBMYP has been implemented in 10 Malaysian government secondary schools from 2013, comprising various backgrounds, towards ensuring program feasibility in all types of schools. In Malaysia, IBMYP was introduced by the MOE in the Malaysian Education Development Plan 2013–2025 towards a holistic and effective educational transformation, and resulted in creative and critically minded students. The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) is one of the world’s recognized IB learning programs and has been implemented in 5556 schools worldwide. Towards realizing this global citizenship education, the International Baccalaureate (IB), established in 1968, has been shown to provide holistic education through multicultural understanding and international mindedness, so that they can think critically and independently. In line with this aspiration, the MOE also focuses on the culturalization of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) or Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (henceforth KBAT) among students, to produce intelligent, creative, and innovative human capital to meet the 21st century challenges, so that the nation can compete in the world. In the face of the challenging global competition, the younger generation should be equipped with knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes, so that they are always proactive, able to adapt quickly, and subsequently able to decide and resolve problems. This can be achieved through global citizenship education that trains students to understand and respect each other’s differences, which can contribute to world peace. ![]() In facing fast-growing and uncertain global challenges, the fourth target in the sustainable development goals (SDG) focuses on developing superior human capital that can be a driver for the nation’s progress and development. Besides, the evidenced 10IBLP-I comprises good psychometric properties, which can be used to measure the level of IB learner profile among IBWS MOE students to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of IBMYP in Malaysia. The findings also provide an implication to the theory, with empirical evidence that the IB learner profile consists of 10 constructs. Conclusions: The combination of both analyses has shown the strength of 10IBLP-I psychometric properties that cover the aspects of validity and reliability. Meanwhile, confirmatory factor analysis found that 44 items have shown a valid item fit index. Results: The findings from the Rasch measurement model analysis have shown that 54 items meet the criteria of the item fit, unidimensionality, and reliability index. ![]() Methods: The study consists of two phases of pilot and field studies involving 597 year four students from IBWS MOE. Purpose: This study aims to develop an instrument with good psychometric properties, based on the Rasch measurement model and confirmatory factor analysis. However, very little attention has been paid to the development of an instrument to measure the IB learner profile with good psychometric properties. Background: The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) aims to produce a holistic transformation with creative and critically minded students. ![]()
