“…In addition to the constraints of facilities and infrastructure, learning tools are also needed that can provide facilities for students to think at a high level. The application of various learning models is useful for increasing motivation for students to think at a higher level (Kusumaningrum et al, 2019, Yang, 2015). One learning model that is able to meet these criteria is a discovery learning model that is supported by the cognitive conflict approach.…”

Critical thinking is an important skill that needs to be developed in students, including vocational high school students. The critical thinking skills of students who are well facilitated in the learning process will be very useful for students' future. This study aims to develop and implement learning tools that combine discovery learning models with cognitive conflict approaches so that they have a good impact on students' critical thinking skills on heat material. The development of this learning tool adapted the 4D model which consisted of define, design, develop, and disseminate. The learning tools are in the form of syllabus, lesson plans, student worksheets, and evaluation instruments in the form of descriptions to measure students' critical thinking skills. This research was carried out at Mataram State Vocational High School 4 in the academic year 2018/2019. The results showed that this learning device obtained a very high level of validity based on an assessment by an expert validator and obtained a high level of practicality based on observations of the implementation of learning and the results of filling out the questionnaire by students. Students' critical thinking skills are also classified as high criteria based on the measurement results of the evaluation of learning. It can be concluded that the developed learning device is valid, practical, and has a good impact on students' critical thinking skills

“…The Rasch model shows diagnostic information for improving the quality of instruments and benefits to scaling and interpretation (Willse, 2017). Some of the advantages of the Rasch model include being able to predict missing dates and data bias, measuring based on the logit scale, knowing student distribution, converting ordinal data into intervals, and showing wright maps of variables (Ölmez & Ölmez, 2019;Soeharto & Rosmaiyadi, 2018). Not only using the Rasch model for evaluation but also to determine the validity and reliability of the mathematical trauma questionnaire by using WinSteps software as well as determining the validity and reliability of the data for the Cronbach's Alpha (α) reliability evaluation (Osman et al, 2016).…”

Mathematical trauma is a mental condition of students caused by experiences that make it difficult or emotionally with mathematics. This study analyzes students’ trauma of mathematics based on grade and gender by using survey research methods and data processing using Winsteps. The subjects of the research were 204 students in every grade in Junior High School. The questionnaire consisted of 20 statements. This instrument was developed measuring mathematical trauma. It consisted of three indicators: difficult to adapt to the environment, saturated with the learning system that is done, and difficult to get along and organize themselves. Based on the Rasch analysis, for the item, two items (I10 and I7) are a misfit, and the rest items are fit. The items were suitable for 147 respondents (72.06%). Based on The Wright Maps table on WinSteps, the percentage of male students who are very traumatized by mathematics is more than female students. Meanwhile, based on grade, students from grade 8 are more very traumatized by mathematics than students from grade 7 and grade 9. Furthermore, based on a questionnaire, students prefer to class condition that made very traumatized by mathematics.

“…This suggests that the level of difficulty of the items is suitable for the sample under study. It can also be observed that the correlation values are all above 0.40 and below 0.85, which reveals the inexistence of problems, as all the questions were well understood, without any misunderstandings, by the participants [ 79 ].…”

Background In the last two decades, the transformations that have affected the business world have had a great impact on professional performance standards. As such, they have contributed significantly to increasing concerns regarding employability. Particularly, these concerns are even more worrying among students who are looking for their first job. Consequently, this leads organizations to question whether the skills these candidates have are sufficient and adequate for them to enter the job market. Although it is a problem that deserves an urgent response, it is still poorly understood amongst academics, which is why it continues to be essential to define and signal which skills candidates should develop in order to guarantee a better person-function fit. Hereupon, the present study aims at the construction and validation of a short skills inventory for students who are looking for their first job. This inventory will allow alignment between candidates' skills and the level of performance expected by their future employers. Methods The development of the short skills inventory for students looking for their first job was based on Classical test theory and Item response theory methodologies. Specifically, its developmental process encompassed three studies. Study 1, comprising a qualitative scope, dealt with the development and construction of the items (n = 97). Study 2, of an exploratory nature, was intended to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument (n = 173). Finally, Study 3, of a confirmatory nature, was aimed at validating the results gathered from the Exploratory factor analysis (n = 407). Results This inventory is a valuable asset for the selection of students who are looking for their first job. The analyzes carried out over the various studies show that this instrument has satisfactory psychometric properties, and, as such, is a valid and reliable instrument and an alternative to the instruments currently used in the recruitment and selection processes. Conclusions The construction of this short skills inventory brings theoretical and practical benefits. In short, it contributes to reducing Portugal’s gap regarding psychological assessment upon selection considering the lack of validated and verified instruments for students looking for their first job.
