            The purpose of this study was to develop ASEAN citizenship indicators of primary level students. Samples of the study were 400 primary level students selected by using multistage random sampling method. Data were collected via a 70-item questionnaire with 4-level rating scale. Data were analyzed using statistics of second order confirmatory factor analysis.

           The result of measures of the model fit indicated measurement model according to study hypothesis fit well with empirical data (c²=33.87, df=22). The result of statistical significant testing showed it valued more than 0.05 level (p=0.051) and a ratio between c² and degree of freedom equaled 1.54 explaining a measurement model was not different to empirical data or it could be concluded that measurement model fit to empirical data.

           To examine measurement model with latent variables, the finding from confirmatory factor analysis with latent variables of ASEAN citizenship skills and attitudes toward ASEAN citizenship indicated there were 3 components in the model, those were 1) ASEAN understanding, 2) ASEAN citizenship and 3) attitudes toward ASEAN, with factor loading component valued at 0.86-1.00 showing statistical significant at .01 in all components.
