Identification of creativity and communication skills using a physics learning questionnaire: Rasch analysis

Abstract

Creativity and communication are skills that need to be emphasized and taught to students to prepare them to face global challenges in the 21st century. The purpose of this study is to determine the achievement of students' creativity and communication skills in implementing physics learning at school and to test the instrument using the Rasch model analysis. This research is a survey research with the cross-sectional method. This study involved 46 respondents at SMAN 1 Lembah Melintang. The instrument used was a questionnaire with a total of 11 items. Based on data analysis, it was found that the level of students' creativity skills in learning physics was still low compared to students' communication skills. The results of the validity of the instrument using Rasch analysis showed that the value of raw variance data in the dimensionality table was 58.9% with a good category, so it can be concluded that the instrument in this study can be used to identify students' creativity and communication skills.
