Today's students are faced with more significant challenges than previous generations. For this reason, learning agility is required to allow students to adapt and face the challenges. Unfortunately, no measurement tool suits the student setting. Thus, this study aims to measure the validity of learning agility measurement tools for college students. Several steps were taken to adapt the measuring instrument. The first stage in adaptation is the forward translation, the second stage is a synthesis of the translations, the third stage is back translation, the fourth stage is the expert committee, and the final stage of the adaptation process is the pretest. The measurement uses the EFA method by taking 234 student respondents. The results of the EFA analysis show that the learning agility measuring instrument meets the validity rules and is unidimensional. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the need for a good Indonesian learning agility measurement tool.
