Confirmatory Factor Analysis of a Scientific Imagination Assessment for the Bohr Atomic Model

The scientific imagination is not merely a source of daydreaming and creativity; it helps define, build, and apply scientific models, conduct scientific tests, develop scientific theories, and advance scientific knowledge and concepts. The focus of this study was to develop an instrument to evaluate students' scientific imagination as they explore the Bohr atomic model and to validate it through CFA. A research and development methodology was employed, with 101 students enrolled in the physics p
