The implementation of National Examination in Indonesia always becomes an interesting discussion both in education field and social life.  One of the debates in the implementation of National Examination is about the fairness, many experts stated that the implementation of National Examination is unfair because the three-day exam is used to determine the success or failure of a student’s three years of high school. The second issue is about the quality of education in Indonesia’s school is gravely uneven. Some schools have luxury facilities and infrastructure, while others barely have a school building. So, to apply and expect the same standard from all of them is harsh and unrealistic. This study would like to analyze the questions in National Examination. The writer takes English test for science students as the primary data to answer the questions. The writer focuses on the principle of language assessment implemented in construction of English test in National Examination and the appropriateness of English test questions in National Examination based on the standardize of language assessment. The result shows that National examination in this case English test has been designed accordance to the principle of assessment. For standardized test of national examination, there are some types of test items are hardly to be found in the test. In terms of reading test items, multiple choices which are indicating to find reference words, phrase or sentence are not given in English test. It is dominated by finding out the detail or specific information about the text, implicit and general description about the text. Overall the English test in national examination has been design according to the standardized test. Only for several things need to be improved in term of test items variety in reading skill

Language and Academic Services Centre, International College for Sustainability Studies, Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) understands and foresees the significance of using English in general and academic contexts. As parallel with international stanardized tests that are used to measure test takers‘ English proficiency, Language and Academic Services Centre attempted to construct Srinakharinwirot University Standardized English Test (SWU-SET) that can measure levels of English proficiency aligned with the concept of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The aims of this paper were to test quality of SWU-SET based on validity, reliability, and item discrimination and to develop items of SWU-SET aligned with the CEFR. The methodology implemented in this study included a construction of test specification and a 100-MCQ test design under the investigation of test validity, test reliabity, and test item discrimination. As a consequence, two sets of the SWU-SET were launched for a pilot study. Consequently, all test items were revised and re-launched to confirm the test quality. Then, SWU-SETs were under the process of standard mapping which conformed to the CEFR. The results and discussion were presented in this paper to show how the test was designed and spelled out how the test yielded satisfactory results as a standardized test aligned with CEFR.

The objectives of this research are to analyze critically the quality of test items used in SMP and SMA (mid semester, final semester, and National Examination Practice) in terms of reliability as a whole, level of difficulty, discriminating power, the quality of answer keys and distractors. The methods used to analyze the test items are item analysis (ITEMAN), two types of descriptive statistics for analyzing test items and another for analyzing the options. The findings of the research are very far from what is believed, that is, the quality of majority of test items as well as key answers and distractors are unsatisfactory. Based the results of the analysis, conclusions are drawn and recommendations are put forward.

The Republic

It is attested at the national level that three-quarters of human capital aged 55 and over in Moldova represent an untapped potential for active aging, which means limited opportunities to get old in good health, to be active economically, to have a safe and secure social life. Meanwhile, more older people are in a group risk with high socio-economic vulnerability. According to national demographic prognoses, by the year 2035, every third person would be over 60. At the regional level, Moldova has the lowest indicators on the quality of life of the older people, on the human capital in older age and on the opportunities to empower this category of the population. The paper focuses to calculate and evaluate some indicators of well-being and social inclusion of the older people in the Republic of Moldova. The challenges which the older people population is facing (poor living conditions, financial and material deprivation, limited access, and quality of health services, restricted physical security, etc.) are highlighted. The analysis is based on the latest available national statistics and empirical data. To emphasize determinants of material wellbeing of the older people the binary logistic regression model had been developed based on primary data of the “Discrimination, abuse and violence against older people in Moldova” (2014, CDR, HelpAge) sociological survey of persons aged 60 and over. The factors, which have a significant impact on the material welfare of the older people, are residence area and age, labour market position, the migrant experience, educational attendance, self-perceived health, age-friendly community perception.

ABSTRACT   Banana fruit is a commodity that contributes a great value to both national and international fruit production achievement. The government through the National Standardization Agency establishes standards to maintain the quality of bananas. The purpose of this Project is to classify the stages of maturity of Ambon banana base on the color index using Naïve Bayes method in accordance with the regulations of SNI 7422:2009. Naive Bayes is used as a method in the classification process by comparing the probability values generated from the variable value of each model to determine the stage of Ambon banana maturity. The data used is the primary data image of 105 pieces of Ambon banana. By using 3 models which consists of different variables obtained the same greatest average accuracy by using the 2nd model which has 9 variable values (r, g, b, v, * a, * b, entropy, energy, and homogeneity) and the 3rd model has 7 variable values (r, g, b, v , * a, entropy and homogeneity) that is 90.48%.   Keywords: banana maturity, classification, image processing     ABSTRAK   Buah pisang merupakan komoditas yang memberikan kontribusi besar terhadap angka produksi buah nasional maupun internasional. Pemerintah melalui Badan Standarisasi Nasional menetapkan standar untuk buah pisang, menjaga mutu  buah pisang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah klasifikasi tahapan kematangan dari buah pisang ambon berdasarkan indeks warna menggunakan metode Naïve Bayes  sesuai dengan SNI 7422:2009. Naive bayes digunakan sebagai metode dalam proses pengklasifikasian dengan cara membandingkan nilai probabilitas yang dihasilkan dari nilai variabel penduga setiap model untuk menentukan tahap kematangan pisang ambon. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer citra pisang ambon sebanyak 105. Dengan menggunakan 3 buah model yang terdiri dari variabel penduga yang berbeda didapatkan akurasi rata-rata terbesar yang sama yaitu dengan menggunakan model ke-2 yang mempunyai 9 nilai variabel (r, g, b, v, *a, *b, entropi, energi, dan homogenitas) dan model ke-3 yang mempunyai 7 nilai variabel (r, g, b, v, *a, entropi dan homogenitas) yaitu sebesar 90.48%.   Kata Kunci : kematangan pisang,  klasifikasi, pengolahan citra
