THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIPLE CHOICE ACHIEVEMENT TESTS FOR EVALUATION OF GEOGRAPHY LEARNING OUTCOMES STUDENTS OF SECOND GRADE AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

The ability of teachers who are still minimal in developing achievement tests with appropriate procedures results in tests that are of poor quality, ultimately impacting measurement results that are less reliable. This encourages researchers to develop achievement test instruments that are in accordance with the correct test development procedures. This study aims to develop a multiplechoice test that is valid and reliable, as well as practical to be used by evaluators as well as by evaluation target objects. The method used in this study is research and development methods, using the Instructional Development Institute model (IDI) with three stages of development namely 1) define, 2) develop and 3) evaluate. Product testing is limited to 38 students. The research data is obtained in quantitative form in the form of student responses to tests, expert validation and practical questionnaires by teachers and students. Data analysis techniques use classical theory, test validity tests, test reliability tests, and practical tests. The results of the study are in the form of products of multiple choice achievement test instruments. Based on the results of the tests, the test instruments that are developed had good grain quality with a moderate level of difficulty and high exposure power, the results of the measurements are valid and reliable or reliable and had a small standard error of measurement which is 2.82, which meant that the measurement results are accurate.
