Developing a Self-Assessment Instrument for a Microteaching Class

Abstract

The goal of this research was to create a self-assessment instrument for evaluating professional teachers’ performance in the microteaching course at FKIP UPY. This development research was based on Thiagarajan’s 4D development model, which included the stages of define, design, development, and dissemination. The participants were FKIP students who were taking microteaching classes. Purposive sampling was used and data were collected through student questionnaires. Data were triangulated using the DPL response questionnaire. With the help of the SPSS 16.0 program, empirical validity and reliability were calculated. A self-assessment instrument for assessing the performance of professional teachers for microteaching learning courses for FKIP UPY students was prepared, containing 42 items, which was developed through determining the material, determining instrument constructs, compiling grids, and compiling questionnaires. The instrument content was found to have good results for validation, and a reliability index of 0.75; the percentage of responses from microteaching supervisors was 88.5%. These results indicated that the self-assessment instrument can be recommended for assessing the performance of professional teachers in microteaching learning courses at FKIP UPY.
