engagement in the classroom. This study aimed to examine
confirmatory factor analysis for instruments of innovative
teaching practices for teachers of 21st century classroom:
a preliminary finding. Quantitative research was adopted
in the study. A purposive sampling technique was adopted
to selected 200 teachers in Kwara State public schools. The
instrument of innovative teaching practice had five
dimensions (flipped classroom, google classroom-assisted
learning; design-thinking process; project-based learning
and blended learning) with 25 items. The Confirmatory
factor analysis using maximum likelihood estimation
technique (AMOS version 18) was performed to determine
validity and reliability of the instrument. Confirmatory
factor analysis had 16 items after removed the items with
poor loadings. The findings of first order CFA analysis
revealed that the model fit the data where fitness indexes
were significant. Also, the finding further showed that
second order analysis fitness indexes were satisfactory
where the dimensions of ITP have significant value on
main variable. The second order measurement model of
innovative teaching practices was free from offending
values with all fit statistics well above the set threshold.
The innovative teaching practices questionnaire was
proven to have a strong measurement model as well as
reliable constructs. The study suggested that ITP
instruments consider to be suitable for use by teachers of
