dc.description.abstractAction research is a tool that is used to help teachers and other educators uncover strategies to improve teaching practices. It is a viable and realistic endeavour for all educators. Action research requires teachers to design a study in an area of interest that they would like to carry out in their classrooms or schools. The purpose of this study are to assess the level of teachers’ competency in action research (TCAR), test the model of teachers’ competency in action research, examine the measurement invariant of teachers’ competency in action research model across school type and subject area, and determine the influence of TPACK and FSAR on teacher competency in action research. The study involved 1,960 teachers from secondary school in Songkhla, Southern Thailand. A questionnaire with five points rating scale adapted for TCAR, TPACK, FASR instruments were used to collect the data needed. The content validity, construct validity, and reliability were examined the instruments. The data were analysed using Rasch model, CFA, measurement invariance, and HLM. The findings from Rasch analysis found that item reliability estimate is of .99, and the data fits the Rasch model. All the items measure a unidimensional construct of TCAR with level of competency divided into three levels. In addition, overall model fit of first order CFA model for TCAR appeared to be good. Furthermore, TCAR was invariant between public and private schools, and sciences and social sciences disciplines. These findings point to an equivalent of TCAR measurement model. The results have important implications for teachers’ action research. Finally, TPACK and FSAR were had found a large effect on TCAR.en_US
