EFFECTIVENESS OF REASONED OBJECTIVE CHOICE TEST TO MEASURE HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS IN PHYSICS IMPLEMENTING OF CURRICULUM 2013

Abstract

This research has been done to studyusefulnessand effectiveness of the reasoned objective choice test to measure higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in Physics (PhysROCTHOTS) implementing Curriculum 2013. Research subject was 1001 students of ten senior high school in Yogyakarta. Usefulnessof the test was indicated by validity, reliability, total information function,and SEM. The test validity was obtained by experts judgment and goodness of fit to model. Goodness of fit of the test scoring in polytomousaccording to the partial credit model (PCM) to measure HOTS based on average of INFIT Mean of Squareof 1.0. The effectiveness of the test was indicated by practicalityandefficiencybased on response of senior high schools physics teachers. The results show that:the PhysROCTHOTSis valid and reliable so the test is can be used to measure HOTS of senior high school students and the test scoring in polytomous according to PCM can measure HOTS of senior high school students implementing Curriculum 2013 effectively
