Character assessment is critical for understanding student progress and determining policies and measures that must be taken to direct and strengthen positive character. This research falls under the category of R D. The study aimed to create Pancasila character self-assessment questionnaires for students. The approach of generating effective instruments by Mardapi. As a result of the development, 20 items of valid and reliable instruments were obtained. The Aiken formula and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) are used to prove content validity and construct validity, while the alpha Cronbach formula is used to estimate reliability. The coefficient of reliability is 0.71, and the instrument validity index is 0.97. The instrument is accurate and dependable. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) yielded seven components that describe Pancasila's ideals: (1) work ethic, (2) open-minded, (3) initiative, (4) values and culture, (5) resilience, (6) faith, peace, and cooperation, and (7) caring. These seven characteristics are included in the Pancasila student profile. The instrument was used to assess the character of 153 students, and the results revealed that the students' overall attitude matched Pancasila's specified character of excellent and good. However, numerous actions must be completed to strengthen Pancasila's character so that Pancasila's student profile can be fulfilled.

AbstractThis study aims: (1) to develop a model of HOTS-based AFL to the teaching and learning of clothing in college; (2) to investigate the effectiveness of the developed model of HOTS-based AFL to improve understanding and HOTS of student of clothing vocational education. This study is a development research, using HC-ADDIE modification model that is the collaboration and modification of the research, development, and diffusion of Hopkins & Clark model with ISD-ADDIE model and the classroom action research. The stages of research include analysis and needs assessment. The stages of development include designing prototype models, validating model, testing reliability, training lecturer/observer, conducting limited and extended trials as implementation, analysis, and evaluation through the classroom action research. The stages of diffusion include the dissemination of research results through seminars and journals. The subjects of this study were under graduate student teachers majoring in the field of clothing of vocational education in the first semester of 2012/2013 at Clothing Technical Education Program, Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta State University. The data analysis used the descriptive statistical techniques with the presentation in the form of tables, graphs, and diagrams, as well as using inferential statistical techniques namely one-way ANOVA. The process of data analysis used Excel and SPSS for Windows 17.0 program. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The HOTSbased AFL model for the teaching and learning of clothing to the student of clothing vocational education is successfully developed through the HC-ADDIE modification model. (2) The HOTSbased AFL model is effective to improve the students' understanding and students' HOTS.

Ujian sekolah merupakan tahap akhir seorang siswa dalam proses pembelajaran. Di tahap ini, seorang siswa akan ditentukan kelulusannya dengan cara melihat salah satu nilai mata pelajaran matematika. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan karakteristik butir soal tes matematika dalam instrumen penilaian Ujian Sekolah yang dibuat oleh tim Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP). Analisis butir soal untuk membuktikan validitas isi, mengecek estimasi reliabilitas, tingkat kesulitan, daya pembeda soal, dan untuk mengidentifikasi kategori soal yang memiliki nilai rendah, sedang dan tinggi, serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan item soal-soal tersebut sulit bagi siswa. Validitas content butir instrumen penilaian Ujian Sekolah dihitung menggunakan rumus Forumula Aiken dengan melibatkan 3 orang ahli pada bidang matematika, dilanjutkan dengan validitas konstruk menggunakan analisis faktor eksploratori (exploratoty factor analysis, EFA), sedangkan untuk reliabilitas dihitung dengan rumus KR-20. Subjek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 125 orang yang diambil dari siswa SMA Negeri dan swasta di Kabupaten Tasikmlaya, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Pengumpulan data diperoleh melalui hasil jawaban siswa yang dibandingkan dengan kunci jawaban Ujian Sekolah. Analisis data kuantitatif dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan Classical Test Theory (CTT) dan Item Response Theory (IRT) model Rasch. Analisis data kualitatif dilakukan untuk mendeskripsikan tingkat kesulitan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal tes dengan kategori sulit. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa estimasi reliabilitas cukup reliabel. Berdasarkan hasil analisis CTT dan IRT, rata-rata tingkat kesukaran dikategorikan sedang, dan rata-rata kemampuan membedakan dikategorikan baik. Dalam analisis kualitatif diperoleh satu butir soal menjadi sulit dijawab karena pemahaman konsep yang rendah, materi pembelajaran yang belum tuntas, dan kesulitan belajar selama di kelas.

Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan hasil penelitian evaluasi keefektifan pembelajaran pada penerapan KBK di Program Keahlian Tata Busana Kota Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian evaluasi dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Populasi penelitian meliputi 671 siswa Program Keahlian Tata Busana SMK Negeri di Kota Yogyakarta yang telah melaksanakan KBK. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 137 siswa yang ditentukan dengan teknik proportional stratified random sampling menggunakan rumus Krejcie & Morgan. Data penelitian diperoleh dari dokumen nilai prestasi akademik siswa, yang meliputi nilai normatif, adaptif, dan produktif. Teknik analisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial dengan bantuan komputer paket program SPSS 10 for windows. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: pembelajaran pembentukan kompetensi normatif cukup efekti£ dan pembentukan kompetensi adaptif dan produktif kurang efektif. Kata kunci:  pencapaian standar kompetensi siswa

The western happiness scale measures those material aspects, so it will not be objective when applied in low-income countries. Furthermore, Countries with high happiness ratings, which may ignore the importance of spirituality, have significantly higher rates of depression and suicide. Islam is the highest source of spirituality for its adherents. They believe happiness cannot only be measured by the material aspect and ignore the spiritual part. This study aims to develop a happiness scale that measures Muslim spiritual-material aspects. We used a development research approach to design an instrument based on the thoughts of Abdullah bin Abbas, test its validity, and estimate its reliability. The authors found Seven sub-scales and thirty-one valid items for Muslim spiritual happiness. The current instrument of happiness can be used to measure the spiritual happiness of Muslims. The authors expected that these findings encourage other researchers to improve the current version and develop a better and more valid instrument.
