Printed and IT THOTSIC as a Benchmark of Students’ Ability in Facing the National Examination

Abstract

This   research   aims   to   determine   the   characteristics   of THOTSIC  in  class X  chemistry material and  to  develop  a valid  and reliable package of questions. The results of PISA study in 2015 showed that the performance of Indonesian students was still relatively low. National  Examination,  as  a benchmark  for national  standards,  should consist of questions component with higher level thinking skills. Chemistry is a central science because it connects various other scientific fields. This is development research based on Research & Development (R & D) using the Plomp model. The results showed the average score of the material expert validator assessment was 99.27%. Limited trials consisted  of  1  chemistry  teacher  and  10  students  in  class  XI.  Data analysis showed that teachers’ response questionnaires were 4.93 as a very good category and students’ were78.95% as a good category. The analysis of the reliability level of the questions was 0.62 in the high category  level.  The  level  of  difficulty  of  the  questions  was  0.3  as  a difficult criteria and the problem differentiator was 0.39, Dp≥0.3 = as the question was accepted.
