RASCH MODEL ANALYSIS ON MATHEMATICS TEST INSTRUMENTS: BIBLIOSHINY (1983-2023)

Zafrullah — 2023-11-01

The Rasch Model is a very useful tool in testing the quality of a measurement instrument, including mathematics tests. The Rasch model is part of item response theory which can classify item and person calculations in one distribution map. This research analyzes research trends regarding Rasch models in mathematics instruments, using bibliometric analysis to understand the current state of research in this field. From the analysis obtained, it can be said that publications regarding Rasch models in mathematical instruments have increased rapidly from 1983 to 2023, with a total of 173 articles. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia holds the highest affiliation with 13 articles. The Journal of Applied Measurement is the most prolific publication with 10 articles and 113 citations. Printy (2008) and Clements et al., (2008) are the sources with the most total citations, namely 139 citations. Azrilah Abdul Aziz, Clelia Cascella, Chiara GIBERTI, and Azami Zaharim are the authors with the largest number of articles discussing Rasch models in mathematical instruments with 4 articles. New themes that emerge in this analysis are mathematics education, engineering education, validity, reliability, gender, and differential item functioning so that future researchers can consider the keywords above

THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA LEARNING IN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

Miftahir Rizqa — 2023-11-02

The purpose of this study is to develop the use of interactive multimedia learning in vocational schools in Indonesia. This learning media was used on material about diagnosing computer and peripheral operation problems and was developed by using the Instructional Development Institute (IDI) development method. This method included the following stages of the procedure: define, develop, and evaluate. Furthermore, the subject of this study was the first-grade students in SMK N 1 Hiliran Gumanti. The result showed that 1) The development of learning media based on interactive multimedia was considered valid based on the content by 5 experts of 91.80%; 2) Based on the responses of 28 students, interactive multimedia learning was proved to be more practical by 85.25%; 3) The use of effective multimedia learning improved student learning outcomes showed by an incline on students’ scores from 42.1% to 84.21%. Briefly, the development of interactive multimedia learning has proved to be valid, practical, and effective. This media learning can be used to enhance student learning outcomes related to the material about diagnosing computer and peripheral operation problems in the vocational school.

PROFILE OF STUDENTS' NUMERACY LITERACY ABILITY AND SELF EFFICACY IN MATHEMATICS LEARNING

Zulfayani Zulfayani — 2023-11-02

This study aims to describe the ability of numeracy literacy and mathematical self-efficacy of students in learning mathematics. This research is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach conducted at SMPN 34. The research instruments used are numeracy literacy test questions and self-efficacy questionnaires that have met the criteria for good instrument feasibility. The data analysis technique used is Descriptive Analysis. The results showed that overall the numeracy literacy skills of the students included in the criteria were not good. There are 73.30% or 20 people of the total number of students who have not been able to solve the numeracy literacy test questions correctly. Furthermore, the overall mathematical self-efficacy of students is included in the moderate criteria with a percentage of 70% or 21 students. Next for numeracy literacy skills in terms of mathematical self-efficacy (high, medium, and low), each has different numeracy literacy skills. Students whose self-efficacy is high, have good numeracy literacy skills, while students whose self-efficacy is moderate and low, have poor numeracy literacy skills. From the results of this study, it is necessary to research to improve the numeracy literacy skills and mathematical self-efficacy of students at SMPN 34 Pekanbaru.

Nurazizah Ramadhini — 2023-11-02

The purpose of this research is to explain the ability of students' creative thinking in learning mathematics in regards to their behavior in class VIII. This is a descriptive qualitative research. Written tests and questionnaire procedures were utilized to gather data. A number of data analysis methods have been employed in this research: (1) data collecting; (2) data reduction; (3) data presentation; and (4) conclusion drawing. This study concentrated on four elements: (1) fluency; (2) flexibility; (3) originality; and (4) elaboration. According to the findings of this research, the creative thinking ability of grade VIII students is included as part of the creative category with an average percentage of 63.75%. While the attitude of grade VIII pupils is regarded as good, with an average percentage of 73.10%. In the creative thinking ability as good, students with a positive attitude have a creative thinking rate of 63.19%. Overall, students with very good and good attitudes have creative thinking ability.

STUDENTS' ATTITUDE ANALYSIS TOWARD LEARNING MATHEMATICS

Revika Nofriani — 2023-11-02

This study has a goal, namely to describe the attitudes of junior high school students towards learning Mathematics. Disclosure of students' attitudes in learning mathematics is based on low mathematics learning outcomes at the junior high school level in Siak and Rokan Hulu Regencies, Riau Province. The type of research used is evaluation. The sample for this research was obtained from some students who were in Siak and Rokan Hulu Regencies, Riau Province. By using a sampling technique in the form of random sampling and data collection techniques in the form of surveys. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire, to measure junior high school students' attitudes towards learning mathematics. Before the instrument was used, the instrument in the form of a questionnaire was validated in terms of content and construct. In terms of content, validity analysis used the aiken formula while construct validity used second order CFA. Statistical analysis by calculating the average and standard deviation and consulting the assessment guide table to obtain an assessment of individual student attitudes. The evaluation results show that the attitude of SMP towards learning mathematics is in the category of good students.
