Validity testing by the three validators obtained the result that the instrument developed was valid. Reliability testing shows that the developed question instrument is reliable with the acquisition of a value of 0.946. The test questions consist of 14 questions in the medium category and 7 questions in the difficult category. The difference in power index is 0.22 to 0.53 which consists of 11 good enough questions, 6 good questions, and 4 very good questions. Overall results of critical thinking skills of students 11.93% in the very critical category, 5.93% in the critical category, 12.2% in the less critical category type 1A (LC1A), 10.87% in the less critical category type 1B ( LC1B), 8.56% in the less critical category type 2A (LC2A), 9% in the less critical category type 2B (LC2B), and 41.36% in the non-critical category.</p>

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan penguasaan kosakata siswa dengan keterampilan berbicara mereka. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui desain korelasional. Sampel penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI SMAN 1 Ledo tahun pelajaran 2016-2017. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian korelasi dengan Teknik pengumpulan data kuantitatif deskriptif statistic dan inferensial statistik. alat yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah rubrik score speaking performance untuk mengukur keterampilan berbicara siswa, sedangkan untuk mengukur penguasaan kosakata siswa (vocabulary mastery) menggunakan Multiple choice test (tes pilihan ganda) dimana secara manual (test Item validity and reliability) telah dilakukan validitas dan relibilitas terhadap kedua alat test tersebut. Untuk menganalisis data didalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan descriptive statistic (nilai individu atau individual score, nilai rata rata atau mean score) dan inferential statistic (pearson product momen correlation) untuk menghitung variable penguasaan kosakata (vocabulary mastery) dan keterampilan berbicara (speaking skill). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa untuk tingkat Kosa Kata dan Prestasi Berbicara Siswa pada kelas XI SMAN 1 Ledo berada pada tingkat yang baik. Peneliti juga menemukan bahwa terdapat korelasi positif antara penguasaan kosakata dengan keterampilan berbicara siswa kelas XI SMAN 1 Ledo tahun pelajaran 2016-2017 dengan signifikansi korelasi sebesar 0,943. Korelasi tersebut tergolong korelasi erat artinya kedua variabel memiliki korelasi yang kuat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan penguasaan kosakata dan keterampilan berbicara siswa berkorelasi positif, artinya tingkat penguasaan kosakata tertinggi maka tingkat keterampilan berbicara juga tinggi. Oleh karena itu, guru yang berperan dalam mengontrol siswa dalam proses belajar mengajar juga penting untuk mengetahui peningkatan kosa kata dan keterampilan berbicara.

The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of immediate corrective feedback in classroom discussions on the level of knowing and applying the rules of Quran recitation among tenth grade students. To achieve this, researchers used two tools: a written test, and a verbal test. After confirming the validity and reliability of the tools, they were administered to 84 tenth grade female students. The results revealed that the second experimental group outperformed the first experimental group and the control group in the application of the rules of Quranic recitation. Also, the two experimental groups outperformed the control group in the knowledge of rules of Quranic recitation. The study puts forward a number of recommendations. The most important of which is the need to provide corrective feedback as it is one of classroom practices that provide the learner with information about the accuracy of her performance, and to modify underperformance or error.

This research discusses the use of animation to teach present continuous tense. The objectives of this final project are to know the student’s ability of the seventh grade of SMP Kartiyoso Semarang taught using animation pictures and without using animation and to know if there is any significant different of the student’s ability in understanding present continuous tense with and without using animation of the seventh grade students of SMP Kartiyoso Semarang. The population in this research is the seventh grade students of SMP Kartiyoso, Semarang in the academic year 2012/2013. They are 106 students. The writer uses one group or class to be observed. The writer uses one group as sample which consists 30 students. A test as an instrument is used to collect the data. The writer uses multiple choice test in this research. The writer asks the students to answer the questions by crossing (x) a, b, c, or d. In conclusion, teaching present continuous tense using animation as media is more effective than teaching present continuous tense without animation. It could be seen from the result of the test where students’ score taught using animation is higher than those taught without using animation. It can be seen that the t-test is higher than the t-table (2.419 > 2, 002). To improve the quality of teaching learning English, the teacher must be able to create the way to arouse the students’ interest in following his teaching. It would be better for the teacher to use media to teach the students according to their need.

Multiple choice tests are widely applied to assess students’ knowledge in science education. This study aimed at assessing the validity and reliability of Science Multiple-choice Test in Malaysia. The items for this test were formulated by the researcher together with a panel of science teachers and the head of the science department with close reference to Secondary School Standard Curriculum (KSSM) syllabus. The test consists of 50 multiple-choice items with four options. Rasch measurement model was adopted to evaluate the quality of the Science Multiple-choice Test in terms of reliability analysis, item polarity analysis (PTMEA-CORR), item fit analysis and Principal Component Analysis of Residuals (PCAR). The reliability analysis was performed using Cronbach’s Alpha, and the results of reliability and separation index respectively indicated good reliability level of the test items. In order to improve the validity of the test, two negatively worded items (Q39 and Q40) were removed. Lastly, the PCAR analysis showed the unexplained variance in the 1st contrast (5.4%) was found to be well controlled and was below the ceiling value of one-third of the variance explained by the item (18.7%). However, the positive value of the disattenuated correlations indicate no evidence of the presence of secondary dimension.
