Abstract: The objectives of this research endeavour encompass three main aspects: 1) the creation of a novel measurement tool, referred to as the innovative thinking scale (ITS), which aims to evaluate variations in innovative thinking among individuals; 2) the evaluation of the effectiveness and reliability of the innovative thinking scale; 3) the investigation of the associations between different indicators of the innovative thinking scale. Using a quantitative research design, a two-stage study is undertaken to ascertain the validity and reliability of the ITS instrument. Content validity and construct validity are established through an intensive procedure involving a panel of experts in the field of telecommunication engineering and the application of Pearson correlation analysis. The sample for this study consisted of 43 students pursuing a degree in electrical engineering, with a specific focus on telecommunication engineering. These students are selected based on their participation in the freedom of learning independent campus.

Keywords: innovative thinking scale; ITS; MBKM; MOOC.
