Development of Historical Learning Evaluation Instruments Based on High Order Thinking Skills for Riau History course at Departement of History Education in Riau University

Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of application of the form of HOTS (High Order Thinking Skill) based assessment instruments in the History education study program (FKIP) Riau University. The purpose of this research is to make HOTS-based assessment instruments for Riau History courses, which can later be used to measure and assess the results of student lectures. This research is in the form of research and development (R & D) with a population that is a student of the History education study program (FKIP) Riau University which is used in the process of testing the Learning Evaluation instrument. The research data was obtained in two ways, namely, interviews and literature. After the data is obtained, it is continued with the preparation of HOTS-based learning evaluation instruments. To obtain accurate data, the test instruments used in this study must meet the criteria. The type of instrument used is a HOTS-based learning outcome test. The stages of instrument development began from the preparation of the test items to the examination of items by material experts to measure cognitive aspects of the learning outcomes variable. Test the validity of this study using the point biserial correlation formula. Items that are declared valid will be retained and invalid items will be revised/discarded. The next step is to test the reliability of the items. Instruments are declared feasible to use if they have successfully fulfilled the requirements for validity, reliability and passed trials in small groups and large groups.
