Summative Assessment: Quality Test of Cognitive Instruments for the Subject "Bahasa Indonesia"

Education

Positive assessment instruments are one of the most important parts in measuring the quality of the learning process and objectives. The research aims to test the quality of cognitive instruments for Indonesian language subjects in the summative assessment for the odd semester 2023/2024 at SMP Negeri 11 Jambi City. This research uses a quantitative approach, with data collection techniques through field tests. Instrument quality testing is carried out with the help of ANATES software which includes validity, reliability and difficulty level tests. The research results show that in general the cognitive summative test instruments in the "Indonesian" subject do not meet the elements of good quality. From the validity aspect, questions in the "very valid" and "valid" categories amounted to 29 items or around 54%, and questions in the "less valid" and "invalid" categories totaled 21 items or around 52%. From the reliability aspect, the categories "very high", "high" and "medium" amounted to 36 items or around 72%, and questions that were not of good quality, namely in the "low" and "very low" categories, amounted to 14 items or around 28%. From the aspect of difficulty level, in general the instrument has an even distribution, however, this distribution is less than ideal so it still needs to be refined. This research has implications for the need to strengthen the quality of cognitive assessment instruments as an alternative to improving the quality of "Indonesian" learning.
