Development of Assessment Instrument for Singing Skills and Playing Musical Instrument for The Music Teacher Candidates of General Schools

Abstract

The competences of music teacher candidates in teaching singing practice and playing a musical instrument are needed in the teaching-learning process at general schools. Hence, the process needs a comprehensive preparation for both competences. The objective of this study is to prepare an assessment instrument of singing practice and playing a musical instrument which is needed to assess the competences of music teacher candidates. The study used mix-method approach. The combination of qualitative and quantitative is required as the two methods are interrelated for both in the process of preparing assessment instruments and testing the instrument. The instruments consist of nine assignments. The six of which are the instruments for reading melodic and rhythmic notation and the other three instruments are to assess the skills to accompany songs. Based on the result, it can be found that the coefficient of instrument reliability is 0.817 in the type of consistency definition and 0.810 in the type of absolute agreement definitions. It can be concluded that the instrument made by using the analytic rubric of coefficient the reliability is better compared to the instrument made by a holistic rubric.

Pengembangan Instrumen Tes pada Materi Kesetimbangan Kimia Kelas XI Berbasis Android

“…Pengembangan Instrumen penilaian merupakan suatu kegiatan mengembangkan instrumen penilaian yang sudah ada menjadi lebih berkualitas (Alivi, 2022;Awaludin, 2019;Bechraki, 2022;Dwiyanti, 2020;Gentilini, 2020;Herpiana, 2019;Hidayat, 2019;Mahanani, 2022;Saptono, 2018). Instrumen memegang peranan yang sangat penting dalam menentukan mutu informasi suatu penilaian (Arthur, 2023;Astuti, 2020;Kholili, 2020;Muiz, 2021;Muklis, 2018;Rabiudin, 2018;Sarjono, 2018;Utomo, 2019). Instrumen berfungsi mengungkapkan fakta menjadi data, sehingga jika kualitas instrumen yang digunakan baik, maka data yang diperoleh sesuai dengan fakta yang sesungguhnya (Rahmawan et al 2016).…”

Current Situation and Factors Affecting the Musical Performance of Prospective Music Teachers

“…Musical performance is one of the important ways to communicate and to develop music, which builds a bridge for music educators and is also an indispensable part of music education. Ongoing research in the field of musical performance underscores its enduring significance (Bennett et al, 2018;Park et al, 2018;Reifinger Jr., 2016;Robertson, 2023;Utomo et al, 2019).…”

“…Prospective music teachers represent a significant presence within arts colleges and universities, carrying the responsibility of teaching musical performance instruction and the level of their performance ability directly impacts the quality of education. Therefore, considering the development of prospective music teachers' performance skills is of utmost importance (Bennett et al, 2018;Limkar & Chandekar, 2023;Park et al, 2018;Reifinger Jr, 2016;Robertson, 2023;Salendab, 2023;Thompson et al, 2023;Utomo et al, 2019).…”

Instrument Of Singing Performance Assesment With The Android Based Inventor App

“…Measuring progress can be useful only if it is a frequent teaching feature, not a haphazard "test" given only for school reporting purposes (Nichols, 2017). In music school or music academy educational practice, imperfection of performance evaluation criteria is manifested by the fact that the evaluation subject and music experts are able to make accurate performance evaluations that are not clearly defined (Mazur & Laguna, 2017;Utomo, U., Rachman, A., & Wafa, 2019). The success of achieving student competencies will be largely determined by the experience and knowledge of the teacher in developing, and using the constructed measuring instrument in the right way, and the ability to analyse.…”
