Influence of Assessment Process on Students Higher Order Learning in Science ...iosrjce
The study is an attempt to find out the influence of assessment process on students higher order
learning in science subjects in Bangladesh. The main objectives of the study are: (i) to identify the nature of the
question items of science subjects, (ii) to examine what kind of learning is influenced by the question items, and
(iii) to identify the role of science exams on students higher order learning. Findings of the study showed that,
majority of the science question items are mostly knowledge based. The nature of the items mainly demanded
the memorizing ability of the learners and it can be said that simple learning or straightforward learning skills
like memorizing is influenced heavily by the question items. It is also found unlikely but truly that; the question
items do not play any significant role on students higher order learning. The foregoing discussions suggest that
the nature of the assessment process used at the examinations make a bad or negative impact on students
learning. Therefore, the nature of the question items of the science examination should be changed for
influencing the students higher order learning and it should cover all the sub-domain of the cognitive domain of

This systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to investigate the potential of digital online game-based learning (DOGBL) to enhance motivation in English as a foreign language (EFL). Online gaming has grown in popularity among students, opening up the possibility of using games as powerful instructional resources. Academic achievement depends on motivation, and this study, led by self-determination theory (SDT), explored how external rules, like rewards and recognition, could increase motivation in EFL utilizing DOGBL. The study used the SLR method, examining databases and choosing articles based on predetermined criteria. The chosen publications were examined in-depth, and a preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) diagram was employed for analysis. For results, DOGBL could enhance teaching EFL by providing flexible and interesting learning environments. Key elements in motivating in DOGBL included game design, personalization, social engagement, curricular integration, and instructor assistance. As a promising method to improve EFL instruction, game-based learning, especially DOGBL, saw considerable developments between 2018 and 2023. Thus, these ground-breaking techniques transformed the way people learn English vocabulary and provided a fun and engaging way to learn the language. For educators and students, the potential for DOGBL to change EFL education is still exciting as technology develops.
The development of postmodern-era technology in the world of education is increasingly sophisticated, thus impacting the character of students and their social environment. Technological progress negatively affects the lives of today's generation. When misuse of technology is widespread, it is imperative to strengthen cultural and religious filtration. So that the influence of globalization on technological development can be minimized. So as not to damage the cultural values and morality of students as the next generation of the nation. This study aims to explain the importance of transforming the values of Bima's local wisdom "Nggusu Waru" through the media of social studies e-books. The results and conclusions of this study are efforts to develop students' social character that require teacher collaboration, supervision, and optimal parental attention so that their interest in learning is higher and minimizes deviant behavior. This research method uses research and development design. At the stage of preliminary studies with models developed by Borg and Gall.

In this step, data is collected through interviews, observation and documentation. The data is analyzed to find out some of its weaknesses and shortcomings.
This research investigated the pre-service teachers’ self-regulation, selfefficacy, and mathematics performance in blended learning during the post Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in a state university using a descriptive correlational design. There were 201 pre-service teachers who were identified using simple random sampling. They answered the two-set survey questionnaire, which assessed their self-regulation and self-efficacy, while their performances were assessed using their grades in the subject. The data gathered were treated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that they had high self-regulation while they had a very high level of self-efficacy. At the same time, they had a very satisfactory performance in mathematics. Moreover, their self-regulation in terms of planning, monitoring, and adjusting was significantly correlated with their math performance while reflecting is not. However, no significant relationship was found between their self-efficacy and mathematics performance. Thus, instructors are encouraged to conduct monitoring during blended learning to encourage pre-service teachers to maintain their high level of self-regulation and self-efficacy in learning mathematics. In addition, future researchers may explore the same variables to validate the findings of the study because these findings are limited only to pre-service teachers and were conducted during the post COVID-19 pandemic.
This study explores the correlation between technology utilization and language acquisition while analyzing the impact of moderating variables on this relation. Our meta-analysis approach analyzes data from 43 extracts out of 19 primary studies published between 2012 and 2021. Our data analysis employs a random-effect model utilizing a significance level of α = 0.05. Additionally, the authors examine four moderating variables: level of education, location of research, proficiency in language, and year of publication. Technology-based language acquisition outperforms traditional methods, indicating a significant and moderate impact on the learning process. This study enhances comprehension of the efficacy of technology in language acquisition by identifying various factors, such as the geographical location of research, methods of assessing language proficiency, and technology type employed. However, there is insufficient evidence to support the notion that educational level or sample size significantly impact technology-based language acquisition. This meta-analysis highlights the importance of considering nuanced factors when integrating technology into language learning. The findings emphasize the possibility of technology to transform methods of acquiring language and urge additional investigation into customized strategies that optimize its advantages.
Effective science instruction in a blended learning approach is synonymous with the strategic use of instructional videos (IVs) to fill the gap in teacher support. This study aims to determine the IVs’ effectiveness in improving students' concept retention and overall learning experiences. The experimental group was exposed to instruction integrating IVs via embedded mixed-method design, whereas the control group was exposed to traditional lecture methods. The results showed that students' post-test scores and concept retention improved significantly in the experimental group, where students reported better learning experiences than in the control group. This beneficial effect of a technology-integrated approach can be attributed to various elements of IVs, such as engaging content, motion graphics, video length, the language used, and the speaker's perspective. This study recommends that IVs be used to enhance learning opportunities and results in the teaching and learning process.
Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are an important element in facing the challenges of the 21 st-century. Difficulty in solving problems systematically, facing challenges in an organized manner, and being unable to design original solutions are due to the low HOTS that students have. HOTS ability can improve students who low-level thinking skills in several ways, for example, through learning integrated with media, practice, and assessment or HOTS-based cognitive assessment. The purpose of this study was to develop and implement a HOTS-based cognitive assessment to assess students' HOTS abilities. The device development model used is an adaptation of the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model. The research sample consisted of 30 students in class 11 of the Governance and Office Automation Competency Program of Vocational High School 1 Kudus. The result is that 11 students have the HOTS ability with very good criteria, 17 well criteria, and 2 enough criteria. This study suggests that a test instrument for further research is to measure students' HOTS ability. The Experts conclude that HOTS-based cognitive assessment can be used as an approach to improve students' HOTS to actively think selectively and supported by logical argumentation.
The background of this research is the need for teacher innovation in developing digital-based learning media in Indonesian language learning. The research method used is research and development (R&D) with the analysis, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model, which consists of five research stages: analysis, planning, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data collection techniques are questionnaires, in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation that present the results regarding innovation, features, applications, and the impact of using the benkangen game in learning Indonesian in elementary school. The subjects of this study were 25 teachers from 25 elementary schools, and 66 students from 10 elementary schools in Magelang district and Magelang city. The results showed innovation in the development of game applications based on Magelang local wisdom with game features in the form of puzzles of Magelang culture and local wisdom, Indonesian language learning materials packaged in the form of questions accompanied by the number of points in each answer, and audio that reflects local wisdom in Central Java. The novelty of this research is the development of the benkangen game based on Magelang local wisdom, which still needs to be developed by teachers in Indonesia. Future research needs to explore the innovation of Indonesian language learning games through the latest software.
The specific processes, techniques, and actions that learners take to facilitate their language learning have been widely explored under the concept of language learning strategies (LLS); however, more exploration is needed about recent investigations in this area, as calls for new theorization of strategies research have emerged. This systematic literature review aimed at exploring the prevailing research methodologies and educational settings appertaining to LLS in English as foreign language (EFL) contexts. The study analyzed 42 articles published from 2017 to 2023 in journals in the field of social sciences in the Scopus and ERIC databases. The findings show how non-intervention quantitative approaches are predominant in LLS research, occasionally accompanied by qualitative data collection methods. Accordingly, most research has favored descriptive and correlational designs, identifying the relationships between the use of strategies and variables such as language proficiency, demographic aspects, motivation, and self-regulation. Grounded on the revision of existing evidence, this article advises future strategy-based research to focus on primary and secondary levels of education, strategy instruction, cultural aspects, and qualitative research designs.
This study aimed to i) analyse learning problems in science at boarding schools for junior high school students and ii) determine the effectiveness of science learning in the context of Islamic teachings using the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, -religion (STEM-R) approach to improve reflective and critical thinking skills. The research method applied in this study was a sequential exploratory mixed method. The research design consisted of five stages: i) qualitative data gathering, ii) qualitative data analysis, iii) quantitative data gathering, iv) quantitative data analysis, and v) data interpretation. The subjects of this study were 192 students from boarding schools and were divided into 6 groups. The research results obtained were the school, parents, science teachers and religion teachers’ vision and mission causing students to like or dislike science. An excellent teacher is viewed by students as someone who can make learning enjoyable, exhibit creativity in presenting educational material, possess the ability to motivate, link science and religion, engage in investigative activities, infuse humour, establish connections between science and everyday life, and communicate concepts effectively. Moreover, distinctions in reflective thinking and critical thinking abilities were observed between the experimental group and the control group. Learning that connects science and Islamic religion and examines STEM-R aspects is able to develop students' thinking skills.
This study aims to reveal the profile of open-start problem-solving with ethnomathematics regarding student learning styles. This research is a qualitative research study on 3 out of 31 students of Junior High School of 3 Magetan taken by purposive sampling. The three students carried out four stages: understanding the problem, planning problem-solving strategies, implementing problem-solving strategies, and reviewing again. The results of the research show that students with a visual learning style solve problems by understanding problems through writing known and being asked and drawing illustrations, planning problem-solving strategies by making examples, carrying out solving strategies by working on the calculation process; students with an auditory learning style solve problems by understanding problems through writing known and being asked, planning strategies by making problems and formulating formulas used, implementing solutions by doing calculations and reviewing; students with a kinesthetic learning style solve problems by understanding issues through writing known and being asked, making examples and writing the formulas used, carrying out solving strategies by applying the calculation process and reviewing the results obtained. However, of the three styles, the results of the accepted work were not correct because they did not write down the conclusions and were not thorough enough.
The volunteer function inventory (VFI) is an assessment tool to measure individual volunteer motivation. VFI measures individual motivation to volunteer by examining the functional motives of each volunteer. This research aimed to adapt the VFI to the Indonesian language. VFI consists of 30 items divided into five dimensions. This study utilized a non-experimental quantitative research method. Samples were acquired by accidental random sampling with N = 176. In this study, reliability testing was carried out with items and dimensions of Cronbach's α. Validity tests were examined using construct validity and item analysis. The results of the Indonesian version of VFI showed high reliability and validity. Besides, the item analysis also shows that the quality of each item is excellent. The Indonesian version of VFI will be suitable for various education fields in Indonesia to measure the students' voluntary willingness in community development activities, for example, in measuring the impact of volunteerism in the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) social activities and other activities within the communities.
Digital history-based project-based learning (PjBL) in history learning is a learning medium that can provide a special attraction for students who can improve historical concept skills and historical awareness. However, there are still many teachers who have not used it, so it is very important to study it. This research aims to analyze the influence of the digital history based PJBL model in improving historical concept skills and historical awareness. The method used is quasi-experimental with two classes, experimental and control. The population used class XI high school students in Lampung, Indonesia and the sample size was 213. Cluster random sampling was used to determine sampling, while data collection was in the form of test instruments. The test instrument questions were analyzed using the gain score and Kruskal-Walli’s test to determine the increase in historical concept skills and historical awareness with the help of statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) 26. The research results confirmed that digital history based PjBL was effective in increasing historical concept skills and historical awareness with a high score, making it the best choice to overcome obstacles in history learning.
This study aims to determine how using an active learning model based on the three higher education principles can improve students' active learning. Qualitative research methods were applied in this study, with data collection through interviews, literature study, and observation. The results showed that active learning based on the three higher education principles was included in the "good" or "acceptable" category. The application of this model can make this campus a place with a positive academic atmosphere that enhances and supports collaboration, discussion, and positive and critical thinking. The novelty of this research lies in the use of active learning with mini-research projects, which are developed based on university principles and embody it. The hope is that this can help solve problems in the student learning process at the State Islamic University Sunan Kalijaga, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The expected implication is that the university's policy supports applying the model to resolve learning problems and build real scientists for students.
Integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in teacher education is a means to support the teaching and learning process. Good teaching by utilizing technology certainly requires changes, especially in the realm of pedagogy, but teachers apparently do not have enough ability to optimize ICT in the learning process. In fact, ICT has the potential to provide various benefits for teachers and students, including joint learning areas, cooperative and collaborative learning opportunities. Therefore, this research aims to identify the use of mobile learning application (MLA) and its impact as a form of ICT integration in learning. The method used is literature study, by taking data from various relevant scientific articles and books. Data analysis uses descriptive analysis from the results of the synthesis of several literature reviews obtained. The research results show that a number of 10 main articles and 15 relevant supporting articles as well as several book sources show that mobile-based learning with smartphone devices is becoming a trend at various levels of education, both academic and vocational.
Incorporating ethnoscience into lessons through the ethnoscience-students’ worksheet (ESW) is one method to improve student interest in science learning while introducing them to the local culture. However, no research was reported the effects of ESW on students' responses and the factors that influence ESW implementation in science learning. In order to better understand how students learn through ESW, this study investigated the relationship between ethnoscience context, science learning, and the implementation of students’ worksheets. Seventy-two students participated in the survey after they studied ethnoscience learning through ESW. Students’ responses are more influenced by science learning. In addition, the ethnoscience-integrated students’ worksheets (SW) variable indirectly affects students’ responses. Additionally, ESW affects students' responses more significantly than science learning and ethnoscience. This research provides insightful implications for educators on planning, designing, and practicing ESW to enhance students’ problem-solving motivation and academic achievement. Furthermore, to contribute significantly to future researchers, further research employed the structural equation model through covariance analysis, also known as confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
This research aimed to assess the readiness of Indonesian pre-service science teachers by examining their perceptions of impending challenges, desired competencies, and anticipated instructional methodologies in preparing for the challenges of Society 5.0. Using a quantitative survey research methodology, 884 pre-service science teachers from 16 universities were surveyed. The research instrument's validity and reliability were assessed utilizing the Rasch model. Inferential statistics were employed to assess the readiness of pre-service science teachers for future challenges, taking into account their backgrounds. The test outcomes showed the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient reached 0.92, is deemed "excellent", affirming the instrument's high reliability. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of teachers share a consistent perception of future challenges and recognize the importance of mastering 21st-century skills, particularly critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and collaboration. However, respondents believe that the current learning process does not adequately train these skills. They expressed a desire for an alternative learning method that can enhance their skills while accommodating their diverse backgrounds, including place of residence, economic background, and technological proficiency. Further research is needed to identify alternative teaching methods that can effectively foster these abilities in diverse backgrounds.
The issue of psychological well-being in education has emerged as an increasingly critical topic in recent years. This is due to the significance of psychological well-being in enhancing the performance of e ducational institutions, encompassing students, teachers, and the process of formulating school policies. This study sought to discover recent research on psychological well-being from an academic perspective. A total of 27 research articles were successfully gathered and reviewed based on the established criteria. This article review was conducted utilizing two databases (SCOPUS and WoS) and the following keywords: "psychological well-being" combined with "AND" and other search terms such as "school", "teacher", and "student". This systematic review offers a synthesis of results that can serve as the initial step in developing constructs of psychological well-being in educational institutions, thus implying the importance of psychological well-being for teachers and students. The results of the analysis from this systematic literature review have been discussed and concluded in this study.
This study aims to investigate Indonesian senior high school teachers’ perceptions of using the first language (L1) when teaching English because Indonesian teachers tend to have negative perceptions toward the application of the L1, while the L1 is needed in a situation where Indonesian students have limited skills in English. The semi-structured interview was applied to collect data, while thematic analysis was used to analyse it. The result showed that the teachers have three different positions in perceiving the use of the L1: the virtual position, maximal, and optimal positions. Although they have different perceptions toward the application of the L1, a major insight can be concluded about the limited use of the L1 for specific reasons, such as considering teachers’ and students’ English abilities, learners’ needs, and the type and the difficulty of the given task or assignment. The L1 can be functioned as scaffolding in three aspects: when teaching grammar, vocabulary, and when giving instructions. Teachers may consider this study’s results as the information to use the L1 in classrooms. This may also be beneficial for Indonesian educational stakeholders and the government to specifically define what type of scaffolding that teachers can use the L1 to teach English.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. INTRODUCTION
Tests are an important instrument in the education field, especially to improve the quality of
education. One way to improve the quality of National Education in a better direction requires courage to
take the policy of fixing the system used as a system of assessment tools [1]. Education is regarded as a key
that unlocks the development of potential personal and national values and all other kinds of rights and
powers in the world [2] Education in Indonesia as stated in the 1945 Republic of Indonesia’s Constitution
that every citizen has the same right to obtain education, this indicates that all people have equal opportunity
to get education without exception [3] Schools are part of the government which seeks to implement
regulations as a form of active role in building better human resources through education [4].
In learning, an assessment of the level of student success needs to be held in order to achieve the
goals that have been set in a program [5]. In general, a test is carried out in the final stages of a learning
process. Yet occasionally, tests are conducted before the learning process begins (pretest). Some research
indicates that the test of potential has a relation with the intelligence [6]. The Academic Potential Test is a
test held to measure the possibility of student success. For students who will continue to the world of work or
study and to measure the probability of success of the student if accepted. Test has to learn more in university

[7] academic potential test is a psychological test that can reveal what someone has achieved intellectually
[8]. Potential tests are one form of measurement of general potential cognitive ability (measurement of
maximal performance) specifically designed to predict the chances of successful learning in college, which is
why such tests are usually called Academic Potential Test. Although cognitive neuroscience has progressed
remarkably towards understanding human intelligence, relative contributions supporting high level cognition
and predicting performance remain poorly characterized [9].
The basic idea in the construction of the Academic Potential Test is to gradually follow the
development concept of the graduate record examinations (GRE) which consists of the Verbal Reasoning (V)
section. In general, the Academic Potential Test in Indonesia consists of three subtests, namely Verbal
subtest, Quantitative subtest, and Reasoning subtests. Generally, academic potential tests are not arranged
based on the course syllabus, [10] The material contained in the Academic Potential Test consists of three
subtests, namely verbal (equality test, opposite word test, and verbal analogy), quantitative (numerical test,
series test, arithmetic test, and arithmetic logic) and reasoning (logic formal, analytical, spatial/spatial, and
logical reasoning). To answer the question, students should have talent. Talent is an interaction between the
three basic groups of human nature, namely general abilities above average, level of task commitment and
level [11].
In Academic Potential Tests there is one intelligence test that is closely related to mastery in the
field of verbal ability, namely analogical intelligence. Critical thinking is active and organized in mental
processes. This skill is able to solve problems using logic [12] because retention is one indicator of success in
learning [13]. According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary, the analogy is one, the similarity or compatibility
between two different things or things; second, equivalence between the forms of language that form the
basis of other forms; third, something that is the same in form, composition or function but is different in
origin so that there is no kinship; four, the similarity of some characteristics between two objects or things
that can be used for the basis of comparison. Analogy means equation or comparison. Analogy problems are
often used as measures of aptitude and achievement [14]. Analogy speaks of a different matter and two
different things which are then compared. Analogy in linguistics is the equation between forms as the basis
for the occurrence of other forms. Analogy is one of the morphological processes in which in the analogy, the
formation of new words from existing words. In addition, in the analogy, only the equations are considered,
regardless of the differences between the two things.
An analogy test is a test to find answers in the form of new words that have a similar or similar
relationship to the words in the problem presented then make thereby generating prediction errors and
motivating both suppressive actions and new predictions [15] Analogy tests aim to measure a person's ability
to know the similarity of relations between two words. Sets of explicit analogy problems provide useful tools
for investigating the mechanisms underlying analogical reasoning [16]. By testing this analogy, a person's
ability will be assessed primarily in interpreting the meaning of a word, word functions, relationships
between words, and usage and equivalent functions in other words. Then the control-value theory specifies
that the determinants of emotions experienced in the academic context involve the student's appreciation of
the control and the value/valence attributed to learning activities and their outcomes [17].
With high analogical abilities students can understand concepts and solve questions about Academic
Potential Test more easily. In general according to [18] classifying there are two analogies, namely: 1)
Analogy Declarative is an analogy used to explain or affirm something that is not yet known or still vague,
with something that is already known; and 2) Inductive Analogy is an analogy compiled based on principal
equations that exist in two phenomena, then concluded that what is in the first phenomenon also occurs in the
second phenomenon.
Technically, in the Analogy Test the test takers will be asked to identify or look for equivalents or
the equivalence of words that are interconnected. People who have adequate verbal abilities, indicate that
they have uptake of information, insight, and adequate knowledge about education. Following the
development of the 21st century, students are required to be able to have high-order thinking skills [19].
Education in the 21st century faces the challenge to teach and train key skills which will be helpful
for students in real-life competition [20]. The success of education in building human character requires
accurate education because education will make a major contribution to the achievement of the overall
national development goals [21]. This means that the better the level of one's verbal abilities, the better the
level of intelligence. The key to success in the academic potential test of this verbal analogy is the mastery of
adequate treasury functions, and how participants can use the logic of good thinking.
In general, the Academic Potential Test materials are materials that are not routinely taught on
campus. Students who often get high grades in their school, not necessarily able to pass this Academic
Potential Test. However, the students who have or often see and practice Academic Potential Test questions
have a higher probability of getting a high score. Therefore we need an exercise or habituation for students to

work on the Academic Potential Test questions. These studies found that high self-efficacy in the context of
research made students' academic performance even higher [22].
Many sources explain these Academic Potential Test questions. Some students practice the
Academic Potential Test questions from question books, or try outs held by educational institutions or from
tutoring. However, this was considered ineffective in seeing that only certain students had the opportunity to
get used to working on the Academic Potential Test questions. Therefore, we need a set of Academic
Potential Test questions with the help of media that can be used by students. As well as the classic, modest
relationship between overall brain size and intellectual ability [23].
The differences between this journal and another author are first based on journals from [24]. The
research is a study of the development of computer software with data inputs in the form of value of the
academic potential test, national exam score, and levels of learning motivation, and generate output in the
form of student achievement results prediction (GPA) [25]. The purpose of research was to conduct the
standard norm of academic potential test for university students. Academic potential test used Graduate
Management Admission Test (GMAT) components: verbal, quantitative and abstract components. Academic
potential test was supported with content validity, construct validity, criterion related validity and high
reliability and Subjects of research were 586 university students from four departments at Faculty of
Medicine and Health Sciences-The University of Jambi. Norm used empirical norm based on normal
distribution: stamina, percentile, z score, Wechsler and GMAT. Standard nine showed nine intervals of
normal distribution score. Percentile norm showed five degrees of percentile: P5, P10, P15, P20, …, P85,
P90, and P95.
This study aims to add insight and knowledge regarding the development of an academic potential
test on good Analogy tests. The development of educational institutions has been studied to inform about the
growth and development [26]. In addition, the results of this research product are expected to be a practical
training material for studying the Academic Potential Tests of verbal abilities. Exploring cognitive emotions
thus could be considered an opportunity for real-time evaluation of the emotional responses to the learning
process [27]. Therefore, the Academic Potential Test tools must be valid, testing the validity of a test needs to
be carried out continuously from various approaches [28] reliable, flexible, and can be done anytime and
anywhere. Simultaneously, advances have been made in the intelligence literature in terms of identifying and
developing accounts of the most consistent neural correlates of overall cognitive ability [29], [30].
2. RESEARCH METHOD
The method used in this research is development research commonly called research and
development (R and D) model Borg and Gall develops the question of Academic Potential Test in the field of
Verbal Ability, Analogy Test. The development will be carried out in the form of developing a question
instrument for Academic Potential Tests of verbal ability Analogy. The development model used in this study
is a procedural model that is a descriptive model, showing the steps that must be followed to produce a
product in the form of analogy test questions.
The research on the development of this instrument was conducted from February to May 2018. The
research location was on the 1st floor of room 102 of the old post graduate building in Yogyakarta State
University, Sleman district, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research subjects in this study were 91
undergraduate students. The sampling technique is a purposive sampling technique, because the sample taken
by the researcher has been determined by the terms and criteria in advance according to the needs of the
researcher. The object of the research is the product development questions about the Academic Potential
Test of Verbal Ability Analogy. Researchers obtain measuring instruments that can be used in measuring
self-efficacy, which is entirely focused on general self-efficacy [31]. Retrieval of trial data is done by
spreading the instrument in the form of subtest products of verbal analogy. The questions used are multiple
choice questions with five answer choices. These questions are also used to determine the level of cognitive
understanding of students towards the material in the Verbal Ability Field of Academic Test, Analogy Test.
Determinants and consequences of retest effects are not comprehended in detail, false decisions based on test
results can be easily made.
This research is a trial place for product development results. The weakness of the research is that
the trial only uses 15 items. All items should be validated in the content validity ratio (CVR) as many as 30
items. Validation is done on the instrument to determine the level of feasibility of the instrument to measure
the desired aspects. The validity used is content validity and extraction. Content validation is by 9 students
who are experts in education research and evaluation and have experienced revisions and reinforcement as
well as conformity between statements with Analogy problem indicators. To determine the validity of the
construct in this study using ITEMAN software to abort items that are not feasible and the second uses SPSS
software to perform factor analysis.

According to Badrun [32] the use of CVR can reflect the validity of the contents of the items. These
items are rated by experts called subject matter experts (SME). The equation of the CVR can be stated as
follows:
CVR = (2ne⁄n)-1 (1)
ne = the number of SMEs who value an item is 'essential'
n = the number of SMEs who conducted the assessment
The range of CVR numbers is between -1.00 and 1.00 so that it can be said when the number CVR>
0.00 means that items are declared essential by 50% more by SME. The construct validity of the instrument
will be analyzed using the theory of exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The use of EFA aims to recognize and
identify the factors that form a construct through score variance.
Analysis of each variable was carried out in several indicators, the first of which was taken into
account the value of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO). KMO values are calculated using partial correlation to test
whether the variables in the sample are sufficient to correlate, so researchers can distinguish the variables.
The general rules of the KMO state that the KMO value must be greater than 0.5 for further analysis. Next is
to look at the Bartlett test, and the anti-image correlation with the MSA requirements which is greater than
0.5 so that further tests can be carried out. The tested variables must meet the communal requirements greater
than 0.5. If there are variables with a communal value smaller than 0.5, then re-testing is done by not
involving variables that do not meet the requirements of communal values. Furthermore, further analysis was
carried out on the reliability of the instrument with the Cronbach Alpha technique. According to Sugiono
[33] the reliability value of the Cronbach Alpha theory ranging from 0-1.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Development of academic potential test questions instruments verbal analogy skills for
undergraduate students respondents using the steps of research and development (R and D) according to Borg
and Gall models [34], grids that have been produced and developed into 30 items that are ready for validation
testing by 9 experts judgment. Validity refers to the accuracy and precision of a measuring instrument [35].
After the assessment has been validated by the expert judgment the results of the instrument are
revised based on the critics and suggestions that have been given in making the item questions. Then the
items are calculated by the researcher using CVR=(2ne⁄n) -1 [36] and the result is that all items are valid
because CVR> 0. Data analysis is carried out using the IBM SPSS 22.0 program. Instrument testing is done
through validity and reliability. The requirement for a good instrument is one that has high validity and
reliability or meets psychometric requirements [37]. So that an intelligence level assessment instrument is
obtained. A total of 15 valid statements were tested on 91 randomly selected undergraduate students
respondents consisting of various students from various universities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Respondents
were given 9 minutes for 15 questions about the test of academic potential verbal analogies and required to
work independently.
Based on the result on Table 1, the trial results researcher using ITEMAN software for 91
undergraduate students’ respondents who have validity obtained 13 items of valid statements from 15 items
of statement. Trial results from the results of the trial results obtained that the average validity of the
questions is 96.8%. Test reliability was analyzed using the Alpha (α) formula of Cronbach with the
calculation is done using the help of the IBM SPSS version 22.0 Windows program and the coefficient of
0.806 is obtained. The coefficient of 0.806 is categorized as good. Referred to in the category of very high
reliability.

invalid items statements namely numbers 6 and 7, this is because the correlation coefficient is below 0.3 in
accordance with "if the correlation coefficient is equal to 0.3 or more (at least 0.3) then the instrument item is
stated "Valid". The data above shows two items must be aborted based on Total Rpbis are 0.128 and -0.123.
Thus, it can be stated that the assessment instrument for measuring intelligence developed in this study has
very good reliability. Reliability figures in the range of 0.70 are declared acceptable, whereas if the reliability
value above 0.80 is stated as good.

stated that the assessment instrument for measuring intelligence developed in this study has very good
reliability. Reliability figures in the range of 0.70 are declared acceptable, whereas if the reliability value
above 0.80 is stated as good.
The valid instrument was then implemented from 91 respondents to measure the intelligence of the
undergraduate students. The answer data from 91 respondents were tabulated. Furthermore, the data is
entered into the IBM SPSS 22.0 program which has been reduced by items 6 and 7 as follows:
The construct validity of the instrument was then analyzed using the Exploratory Factor Analysis
(EFA) is a statistical method that increases the reliability of the scale by identifying inappropriate items that
can then be removed [38] method with the help of the SPSS 22.0 program. Based on the results of the
instrument analysis, it was found that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) used to verify the sampling adequacy
for the analysis [38] score was equal to 0.785 with a significant level of 0.000. These results indicate data can
be further analyzed because the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value is greater than 0.50. In addition, a positive
thing is also shown in the Bartlett test with a significant level of 0.000 which is smaller than 0.05 (5%).
These results prove that there is correlation between multivariate variables. As a result of the value of Kaiser-
Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's test, the data can be analyzed further.
The results obtained based on total variance explained at 33,847% show that the aspects of the test
items for academic potential verbal analogies are still very small and if viewed based on the Measures of
Sampling Adequacy (MSA) in the anti-image matrices table shows good value because all Measures of
Sampling Adequacy (MSA) analyzed items> 0.5. The cumulative percentage of the four factors is quite good,
which is 63,215%. This percentage shows that the instrument explains the test about the analogy of 63.215%.
The results of multivariate correlations show that the coefficient of measures of sampling adequacy (MSA)
on the overall anti-image correlation is greater than 0.5. In addition, the overall value of items shows greater
than 0.5. These results interpret that the overall variable can explain a factor of more than 50%. Because all
assumptions have been fulfilled, factor analysis can be continued. And if viewed based on Figure 1 of the
characteristics of the academic potential test instrument the verbal analogy meets the dimensional
assumptions because it can be seen in the Eigen value that is more dominant in component number 1.

Figure 1. Screen plot
Of the 15 items that will be used to develop the academic potential test instrument for verbal
analogies, 4 analysis factors are formed using the IBM SPSS 22.0 program. The formation of these 4 factors
is from Eigenvalues greater than 1 so that there are only 4 factors that fulfill the requirements. Based on scree
plot development the academic potential test instrument for verbal analogies is unidimensi, because each
item test only measures one ability. In the interpretation based on Table 3, the component formed in
component 1 of the component results shows that the instrument measures 1 trait which is the test of
academic potential verbal analogy. If observed on each matrix component all items have met the
requirements, namely <0.3.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) shows fairly good values and the results of Cronbach alpha reliability
analysis of 0.806 are almost close to 1. Based on these results prove that items have a good level of trust so
that the instrument is valid and reliable in measuring verbal analogies for undergraduate students. The
disadvantage of this instrument is that it only uses 15 items about the test of academic potential verbal
analogy so that if there are items that fall cannot be replaced, therefore more and more variety is needed in
making items about the test instruments for academic potential verbal analogies to replace items that fall can
be recovered with other items.

4. CONCLUSION
Based on the results of research and discussion, conclusions can be taken as follows: First, research
instruments using research and development (R&D) models of Borg and Gall in developing the question of
Academic Potential Test in the field of Verbal Ability, Analogy Test. Second, the formulation of the
questions is analyzed qualitatively in terms of quantitative through content validation, namely by 9 students
who are experts in education research and evaluation. Validation criteria include material aspects,
construction of questions and use of language and culture. The results of expert validation show that 95.9%
of the package questions are feasible to be tested. Third, the items that have been properly tested are
evaluated for the quality of each item, namely question validity and question reliability. From the results of
the trial results obtained that the average validity of the question is 96.8%, the average reliability of 0.806 is
classified as very good. Four, the formation of these 4 factors is from Eigenvalues greater than 1 so that there
are only 4 factors that fulfill the requirements. Based on screen plot, development the academic potential test
instrument for verbal analogies is unidimensi, because that each item tests only measures one ability. Five,
the developed question is valid and reliable so that it can meet the criteria as a good attitude evaluation tool.
The instruments produced have been able to measure the level of intelligence. The last is based form the
results analysis Rotated Component Matrix that meets the requirements using the IBM SPSS 22.0 program
shows that factor 1 consists of 5 items, factor 2 consists of 4 items, factor 3 consists of 3 items, and factor 4
consists of 2 items. From the results of the distribution, it is expected that further research will be done to
improve the verbal analogy test instrument by preparing more test questions and varying degrees of
difficulty.
