This study conceptualizes Computational
Productivity (CP) as a
distinct competency, extending Computational Thinking (CT) from
theoretical reasoning toward
the systemic synthesis
of digital artifacts. To
operationalize this construct,
a 33-item scale
was validated with 762 pre-service teachers. Exploratory factor analysis
identified five dimensions: programming/algorithms, product development, digital productivity, problem-solving, and collaboration. Confirmatory factor
analysis corroborated the structural validity, with the instrument
demonstrating high internal consistency
(Cronbach’s α: 0.895–0.953) and
robust item-total correlations (0.671–0.878). These
findings establish CP
as a multidimensional framework
for assessing the
conversion of computational logic
into productive output.
The Computational
Productivity Perception Scale
(CPPS) provides a rigorous psychometric tool for informing
curriculum design and evaluating digitalinnovation in higher education.
