Abstract

Another problem is student readiness. Computer-based measurement models continue to develop from the Computer Base Test (CBT) to the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). Accurate measurement of student abilities is needed in the exam process. The use of paper and pencil test (PBT) and CBT is not maximal in providing student ability results so it requires a CAT model measurement approach. This paper describes the challenges and strategies to overcome all obstacles in applying CAT in the cognitive, psychological and technological aspects of knowledge. The purpose of this research is to analyze school challenges and strategies in implementing the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). This research is qualitative phenomenology. Data were collected through interviews with 10 participants in Yogyakarta Indonesia. Research participants are Prokor teachers at Junior High School (SMP) and High School (SMA). Data analysis is done by describing the data qualitatively using the reduction analysis in the form of identification of statements, determination of theme category, and reduction. The results showed that the school should provide facilities that support CAT, ensure the smooth and stability of the internet and electrical connections, conduct continuous human resources training, give students training and motivation and set up budget management for CAT implementation. By implementing this strategy, the effectiveness of CAT implementation in Indonesia can be improved.

  • It is written in Law number 20 of 2003 about the National Education System, one of contents discussing education that is a conscious and well-planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process in order to actively develop the potential of himself to possess the spiritual power of religion, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed himself, peoples and nations

  • The results show that (1) schools must strive to provide electronic equipment that supports Computer Adaptive Test (CAT); (2) the obstacles that occur are unstable internet connections and insufficient electricity supply; (3) the need for continuous training aimed at teachers, supervisors, and CAT technicians; (4) there are still many students who have not to understand the use of information technology; (5) it is necessary to develop strategies, collaborate with related parties, make efforts to prepare human resources internally, and the need for a budget strategy to meet the minimum needs of CAT

Summary

Introduction

One of the most effective human resource developments that needs to be embraced for industrialization in any country is through technical education [1]. Technological developments in the era of globalization have provided many benefits in progress in various fields The development of this technology is in line with the 4.0 industrial era characterized by increased connectivity, interaction, and development of digital systems, artificial intelligence, and the virtual ones where humans and technology support educational Progress [2]. The progress of a nation depends on qualified human resources It is written in Law number 20 of 2003 about the National Education System, one of contents discussing education that is a conscious and well-planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process in order to actively develop the potential of himself to possess the spiritual power of religion, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed himself, peoples and nations
