The Pedagogical Competence in Developing Assessment Instruments of Physics High School Teachers in Merauke District

Abstract

This study aims to map the ability to develop assessment instruments owned by physics teachers, especially in the Merauke district. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. Respondents who were involved in this study were 14 respondents who were physics teachers in Merauke. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire containing 25 statements. The data of the research results were analyzed using the Ideal Standard Deviation. Overall, physics teachers’ competence in constructing and analyzing items is in the “good” category, with an average of 90.5. However, some assessment indicators need to be improved, such as reviewing objectives of constructing test instrument, content validation, revising based on validator’s suggestions, and analyzing the items.

The Teachers’ Competencies to Develop Assessment for High School Students in Merauke

“…Thus, based on the results of the research obtained, it is necessary to make efforts to improve the competence of teachers, especially in analyzing the question items. This competency is known for the pedagogical competencies that a teacher must have in order to become a professional teacher (Sari et al, 2021). This competency consists of the ability to understand learners, design and implement learning, evaluate learning outcomes and develop learners in actualizing their potential (Fitrianawati, 2015).…”
