Abstract
This research was developmental research with the final product is test instrument to measure the students’ physics problem-solving skills of the Senior High School. The problem-solving aspects measured contained of understanding the problem, organizing the knowledge, carrying out the plan, and evaluating the solution. This research used a modified Oriondo & Dallo-Antonio Development model that comprised of (1) planning test, (2) trying out the test, (3) determining the validity, and (4) determining the reliability. This research was done in the Senior High School in Sleman regency. The result of this research showed that there were two packages of test of which each package consisted of 12 questions included 4 anchor questions. The test was an essay test which the scoring used PCM model based on the five categories of Polytomous data. The item analysis of the test was done first to prove the assumptions that became the basic theory of item response that were one dimensional, local independence, and invariance parameter. The quality of developed test item is good category which the range of mean square score is 0.96 – 1.08 and the difficulty level is -0.7 to 0.41. Based on the information score function and SEM, the developed instrument was good to be implemented for the test participant with the medium ability.
Highlights
Nowadays, the measurement of problem-solving skill is done by using multiple choices test mostlyThe problem-solving skill is one of the skills in 21st century relates to the physics subject ( Walsh et al, 2007; Wagner, 2008)
The majority only focuses on the using of one learning model, and there are few of them who concern with the assessment quality whereas the assessment quality as an important role to increase the education quality (Mardapi, 2017)
This research is aimed to develop the instrument of test in form of essay test to measure the students’ problem-solving skill toward the physics subject
Summary
The measurement of problem-solving skill is done by using multiple choices test mostlyThe problem-solving skill is one of the skills in 21st century relates to the physics subject ( Walsh et al, 2007; Wagner, 2008). The measurement of problem-solving skill is done by using multiple choices test mostly. None the less the suitability between the test form and the assessment purposes has important role towards the quality of assessment result (Miller, Linn, & Gronlund, 2009). The multiple choice test does not consist of many information because it only raises the final answer of the students (Kastner & Stang, 2011). Another type of the test is needed by problem-solving skill in order to make the evaluator find out the students’ quality while doing test (Moeen-uz-Zafar-Khan & Aljarallah, Jurnal Pendidikan Fisika Indonesia 16 (2) (2020) 72-82
