The study was aimed at producing a valid and reliable higher-order thinking skill (HOTS) test instrument using Lombok local cultures as contexts in the junior secondary school mathematics subject matter. The study is developmental research involving a field try-out of 75 students of Grade VIII. Data were analyzed using classical test theories of difficulty levels, discriminating powers, and functioning distractors. The test validity is assessed using the Aiken formula and reliability is estimated by Cronbach Alpha. Findings show that, of the 20 initial multiple-choice items, 15 were valid and reliable and had the characteristics of good test items with a medium-rated difficulty level average of 0.28, a good-rated discriminating power of 0.31), a good-rated reliability coefficient of 0.79, and all distractors well-functioning.

AbstrakTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui: (1) pengaruh motivasi, self-efficacy, dan latar belakang pendidikan terhadap prestasi matematika mahasiswa PGSD dan PGMI. (2) perbedaan pengaruh motivasi, self-efficacy, dan latar belakang pendidikan terhadap prestasi matematika mahasiswa PGSD dan PGMI. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian survey dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut: (1) Rata-rata prestasi belajar matematika mahasiswa PGSD 57,95 (cukup) dan PGMI 50,93 (rendah); rata-rata motivasi mahasiswa PGSD 110 (tinggi) dan PGMI 99,57 (sedang); rata-rata self-efficacy mahasiswa PGSD 86,61 (tinggi) dan PGMI 81,55 (tinggi). (2) Motivasi, self-efficacy dan latar belakang pendidikan secara bersama-sama berpengaruh terhadap prestasi matematika mahasiswa PGSD dan PGMI. Berdasarkan hasil uji-t, motivasi dan self-efficacy masing-masing berpengaruh ter-hadap prestasi matematika mahasiswa PGSD dan PGMI sedangkan latar belakang pendidikan tidak berpengaruh terhadap prestasi matematika mereka. (3) Uji kesamaan menunjukkan ada perbedaan pengaruh motivasi dan self-efficacy terhadap prestasi matematika mahasiswa PGSD dan PGMI. Kata kunci: motivasi, self-efficacy, latar belakang pendidikan, prestasi matematika 57.95 (sufficient) and that of PGMI is 50.93 (low), the average motivation of PGSD students is 110 (high) and that of PGMI students is 99.57 (medium), the average self-efficacy of PGSD students is 86.61 (high) and that of PGMI students is 81.55 (high). (2) Moti-vation, self-efficacy and educational background of PGSD and PGMI students affect their mathematics achievement. The result of the t-test of motivation and self-efficacy affects the students" mathematics achievement, while educational background has no effect on the student mathematics achievement. (3) The result of the comparison test shows significant differences in the effect of motivation and self-efficacy in mathematics achievement of the students of PGSD and PGMI. THE EFFECT OF MOTIVATION, SELF-EFFICACY, AND EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND ON THE MATHEMATICS ACHIEVEMENT OF THE STUDENTS OF PGSD STKIP-H AND PGMI IAIH Abstract This study aims to determine: (1) the effect of motivation, self-efficacy, and educational background of the students of PGSD and PGMI in mathematics achievement; (2) the differences of the effect of motivation, self-efficacy, and educational background of the students of PGSD and PGMI on mathematics achievement. This research was a survey used the quantitative approach. The results of this study are as follows. (1) The average mathematics achievement of PGSD students is

Sustainable lecturer performance mapping needed a valid evaluation model. The absence of such a model brings about lecturer performance evaluation which was neither systematic nor sustainable. The study aimed to develop a valid and reliable model of lecturer performance evaluation. This research was a development research model. The model developed in the study has two components, namely: (1) computer application containing instrument to measure the lecturer performance, scoring guide, accomplishment criteria and their syntax; and (2) the user's guide for the application. The lecturer performance instruments were analyzed using content validity and construct validity. The instrument's content validity was proven by Aiken Formula, while the construct validity by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the instrument's reliability was estimated by Cronbach Alpha Formula. MANOVA was used as the hypothesis test of the implementation toward the models among the faculties. The result of trials on the model showed that all items of the instrument had met the content validity standard of 0.73, the construct of the lecturer performance instrument in learning (planning, process, and assessment) was in good categories. The results showed that the lecturer performance evaluation model was valid, reliable, and comprehensive. The results also showed that the performance of the Faculty of Math and Science lecturers in learning was the highest.

This research aimed to develop a web-based application for teacher candidate competence instruments to prepare professional teachers in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) era. Teacher candidate competencies consist of pedagogical, professional, social, and personality competences. This is a research and development with 8 stages, involving the development of instrument grids/ construct, focus group discussions, instrument item development, instrument validation, manual instrument testing, application development, application assessment by experts, application trial, and final revision of the application. The initial focus group discussions involved 9 experts, while the instrument validation involved 35 experts consisting of 21 experts for pedagogical and professional competences, 7 experts for social competences, 7 experts for the personality competences, and 4 media experts. The trial involved a total of 107 Mathematics, Indonesian, and English student teacher candidates. Expert validation was analyzed using the Aiken formula; application effectiveness and readability were described based on expert judgment, and discrimination tests on the results of social and personality competence tests between the study programs used the Multivariate Analysis of Variants. The results showed that there were no differences in social and personality competences between Mathematics, Indonesian, and English prospective teachers. The developed instruments for pedagogical, professional, personality, and social competences were deemed valid. The application has met the readability aspect and is scored well by experts with an average assessment rating of .78. These results suggest that the application can be used by the government as a solution to assess teacher candidate competences in the IR 4.0 era.

The purpose of this study was to develop a Mathematics test instrument testlet model for a classroom assessment at elementary school. Testlet Model is a group of multiple choice question acquiring similar information with different grade of responses model. This research was conducted in East Lombok, Indonesia. The design used was research development model. The study involved 17 doctoral students as peer reviewers, 19 teachers as testlet preparation workshop participants and 711 students for testing the testlet mathematical test instrument. Data collection techniques used were documentation techniques, interviews and questionnaires. Expert validation results were analyzed using Content Validity Index (CVI). Analysis of the trial results was using items response theory with a graded response model of two logistic parameters. Independent sample t test was used for comparison of tests. The research developed a Mathematics test instrument testlet model successfully for a classroom assessment consisting of the testlet model test design, grading guide, test instrument preparation guide and mathematics test instrument testlet model or an accurate and reliable classroom assessment. The result of the analysis shows that there was different result between assessments using testlet compared to multiple choices scoring, with t value equal to 7.864.
