Test Instrument

The main analysis in developing assessment instruments is reliability and validity. A validity test is carried out to determine the appropriateness instrument that will be developed, both construction validity and content validity. The reliability test is to determine the level of consistency of the instrument that has been developed. This research was conducted to develop the HOTS ability to test items for high school students. The grid test instruments are arranged based on competence and HOTS indicators, which are then used to arrange items. The test instrument consisted of ten question items relating to the HOTS Thermodynamic Law problem, which included: 1) analyzing the magnitude of engine efficiency, work, heat, and internal energy changes, 2) evaluating Carnot's efficiency, and 3) creating a heat engine. The assessment of the instrument HOTS test obtained Aiken's V score in the range of 0.83 to 0.94, which is in the valid criteria. The validated instrument was piloted in 141 science grade XI student in High School 2 Batang, at Batang Regency, Central Java. The level difficulty of the Polytomous data was analyzed using the QUEST program for classical analysis and PARSCALE 4 for modern analytical theory based on the Partial Credit Model (PCM). The results of data analysis of the experimental items show that of the ten-question items, all are compatible with PCM. The reliability of the test instrument is 0.84, and the item difficulty level is in the range of 0.83 to 1.22. Information functions and Standard Error Measurement (SEM) indicate that test questions developed reliably to measure HOTS students' ability with an average category in -1.9 <θ <+1.7 logit scale with SEM ± 0.5.

Smartphone Use

Smartphone are tools that help life, even become daily needs for adolescents in Vocational High School (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan or SMK) who live in urban areas. Unfortunately, not a few teenagers experience problems due to excessive smartphone use. These can include physical problems such as problems with the eyes, movement, and body position; as well as psychological problems such as unharmonious relationships with the people around them, or feeling dependent on devices. There are not many studies that describe the behavior and regulation of smartphone use in adolescents, especially vocational high school students in Indonesia. This study aims to obtain a description of the behavior of smartphone use among vocational high school students, as well as the settings up of regulations by the home and school environment. Participants are 1.921 high school students in 5 cities in 5 provinces in Indonesia (West Kalimantan, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY), Bangka Belitung Islands, North Sulawesi, and Central Java). Data collection was carried out through a survey with a questionnaire specially designed by the researcher. Data collection was carried out before the COVID-19 Pandemic occurred. The results showed that in the period before the COVID-19 Pandemic, most students used smartphones for about 4-8 hours per day, for communication purposes. In addition, parents and schools make regulations regarding the use of smartphones. The results of this study can provide an overview, as well as a comparison for the description of the behavior of device use after the outbreak of the COVID-19 outbreak. Telepon Genggam Cerdas (TGC) merupakan alat yang membantu kehidupan, bahkan menjadi kebutuhan sehari-hari bagi remaja di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) yang tinggal di daerah perkotaan. Sayangnya, tidak sedikit remaja yang mengalami masalah akibat penggunaan TGC yang berlebihan. Masalah itu dapat berupa masalah fisik seperti masalah pada mata, pergerakan, dan posisi tubuh; maupun masalah psikologis seperti hubungan yang kurang harmonis dengan orang-orang disekitarnya, atau merasakan ketergantungan terhadap gawai. Belum banyak studi yang menggambarkan perilaku dan pengaturan penggunaan TGC pada remaja khususnya siswa SMK. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan gambaran perilaku penggunaan gawai pada siswa SMK, serta pengaturan yang ditetapkan oleh lingkungan rumah dan sekolah. Partisipan adalah 1921 siswa SMK di 5 kota yang ada di 5 provinsi di Indonesia (Kalimantan Barat, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY), Kepulauan Bangka Belitung, Sulawesi Utara, dan Jawa Tengah). Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan melalui survei dengan kuesioner yang dirancang khusus oleh peneliti. Pengambilan data dilaksanakan sebelum terjadinya Pandemi COVID-19. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada masa sebelum Pandemi COVID-19, kebanyakan siswa menggunakan TGC selama sekitar 4-8 jam per-hari, untuk keperluan berkomunikasi. Selain itu, orang tua dan sekolah membuat aturan mengenai penggunaan TGC. Hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan gambaran, sekaligus pembanding bagi gambaran perilaku penggunaan gawai sesudah merebaknya wabah COVID-19.

Background: Environmental awareness (EA) is a part of character education ignored by most students. This indifference tends to affect other students’ by not only in protecting and preserving the current environment but also in preventing and repairing the damage that occurs in the environment. This research analyses students' EA profile, based on the findings of LISREL 8.8 Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Methods: Research subjects included 131 students from Senior High School State 1 Selomerto Wonosobo, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Based on the Slovin formula, the number of samples is representative of the total population (N: 185; error tolerance: 0.05). Data were collected through non-test questionnaires and observation of Strategic Environmental Awareness (SEA). Quantitative descriptive data analysis on EA indicators (Care, Curiosity, Critical, Dependability, Responsibility, and Local Wisdom). Results: The EA profile of high school students was categorised sufficiently. This revealed the following results: a) the SEA instrument is effective in identifying students’ awareness about current environmental issues and meets model fit criteria (P-value 0.25>0.05; RMSEA 0.095; NFI 0.67); b) the SEA instrument is valid and reliable in accurately determining students’ EA profile; c) although the Responsibility profile was significant (t >1.96), other variables did not meet this significance criteria (EA 1a: ‘Care towards environmental damage’ under the Care profile; EA 3b: ‘Contributing towards preserving the environment’ under the Critical profile; and EA 6b: ‘Aware of local potentials’ under the Local Wisdom profile); d) evaluation of the expected changes in SEA is modified through an ethnoscience approach and the socioscientific issues strategy. Conclusions: Students’ lack of awareness of the environment and understanding of their regional potential fails to contribute towards creating a sustainable environment. Profile analysis in exploring attitudes, values, and ethics towards the environment are important, as it helps recognize students’ behaviour.
