THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT TEST ON ALGORITHMS AND PROGRAMMING SUBJECT

Abstract

This research aims 1) to study the course description of Algorithms and Programming Subject, 2) to evaluate quality of lesson contents, 3) to create the learning achievement test and evaluate the index of item objective congruence of the learning achievement test, and 4) to evaluate quality of the learning achievement test for sophomore students who study in Digital Technology for Education Program. Samples used in this research are 5 experts and 38 sophomore students. Statistics used for data analysis are mean, standard deviation, difficulty, discrimination, reliability, and the index of item objective congruence of the learning achievement test.

         Results are found that 1) studying the course description of Algorithms and Programming Subject, there comprises 7 major lessons, 42 minor lessons, 2) results of content quality evaluation by experts including suitability evaluation of content sequence, an overall opinion is at the highest level with mean of 4.80, and suitability evaluation of lesson contents, an overall opinion is at the highest level with mean of 4.72, 3) results of creating the learning achievement test and the index of item objective congruence of the learning achievement test, 113 exam items are passed the quality verification, and the consistency index is between 0.60 and 1.00, and 4) results of quality evaluation of the learning achievement test, 94 exam items are passed the criteria, difficulty is between 0.21 and 0.76, discrimination is between 0.20 and 0.80, and reliability is 0.91.
