The relationship between question grid and quality of multiple choice questions in high school biology made by prospective teacher students

Abstract

The problem grid is an important part of the problem formulation rules which serves to maintain quality so that the measurement function can be carried out properly. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the multiple-choice question grid and the quality of Biology questions. The approach used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The research was conducted at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. The research sample is Biology Education students in 2020/2021 who are taking the learning evaluation course using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used was the form of a questionnaire containing the assessment of the item grid. Path analysis is used in data processing with the help of SmartPLS software. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between the grid of multiple choice questions on biology material and the quality of the questions which consisted of the accuracy of the material, the accuracy of the indicators, the accuracy of the item indicators, operational verbs, cognitive processes, answer choices, statement suitability, and language suitability. In addition, prospective educators must have the ability to compose a question grid following the components and quality of the grid so that they can compile quality instruments so that they can measure what should be measured.
