Abstract

This research aims to analyze the quality of the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) items in the field of Natural Sciences (IPA) at the elementary school level in the Selayar Islands. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach. The research subjects were 115 elementary school students, with the research object consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions. The focus of the research includes the analysis of content validity, reliability, difficulty level, discrimination power, and the effectiveness of distractors. The data analysis technique uses the Classical Test Theory (CTT) approach thru the calculation of the Aiken’s V index, Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient, as well as the analysis of difficulty index, discrimination power, and distractor function. The research results show that all items have very good content validity with Aiken’s V values ranging from 0.80 to 0.93 (average 0.87) and high reliability with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.81. The analysis of difficulty levels shows a value range of 0.35–0.74 with a distribution of 10 items in the moderate category, 3 items easy, and 2 items difficult. The discrimination analysis indicates that all items fall into the good to very good category, effectively distinguishing the abilities of the students. In addition, all distractors functioned effectively because they were chosen by more than 5% of the students. Based on these results, the analyzed AKM IPA instrument has good item quality and is suitable for measuring the abilities of elementary school students.

Abstract

Purpose – Fair assessment is a fundamental pillar for ensuring that evaluation results accurately reflect students' abilities without bias. This study aims to identify Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in the Final School Assessment (PAS) instrument for the Chemistry subject, based on four demographic variables: gender, family economic status, residential location, and school of origin.Methodology – This study uses a quantitative design with a descriptive-exploratory approach. The research subjects were responses from 1,840 twelfth-grade students at high schools in Maros Regency. Data analysis was conducted using an Item Response Theory (IRT) approach in R (version 2024.4.2, Build 764). After assumption tests (unidimensionality and local independence) and a model fit test, the 1-Parameter Logistic (1PL) Model was selected as the most suitable. DIF detection was performed using Raju’s Area Measures.Findings – The analysis results showed that the assumptions of unidimensionality and local independence were met. Out of 30 items, five showed statistically significant DIF (p < 0.05): one item based on gender (Item 11), one based on residential location (Item 26), and three based on economic status (Items 19, 23, and 24). No items showed DIF by school of origin. Although statistically detected, the effect size analysis showed that all DIF items fell into Category 'A' (negligible) according to ETS criteria.Contribution – This study provides empirical evidence regarding the fairness of an assessment instrument developed by a teacher association (MGMP). It highlights how non-academic factors can manifest as measurable differences in performance. This study affirms the importance of DIF analysis as a standard procedure in the quality assurance of assessment instruments to maintain fairness for all students.

Abstract

The growing demand for transparent, accurate, and participatory data governance in secondary education has exposed limitations in conventional alumni data management practices in many senior high schools, particularly those that rely on manual records or fragmented digital files. This article reports on the design and implementation of a web-based alumni data management information system developed as a community service-based applied study to support institutional efficiency and alumni engagement. The system development process was informed by a needs assessment involving school administrators and alumni, with data collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. System functionality was evaluated using Black Box Testing to verify compliance with predefined operational requirements. The implementation involved a single senior high school as the institutional partner, with administrative users and alumni as the primary system users. Functional testing results confirmed that all core modules, authentication, alumni data management, information dissemination, and data reporting, operated as intended without critical errors. The system enabled real-time data updating and reduced administrative dependency on physical presence, indicating improved operational efficiency and data accessibility. From a broader perspective, this study contributed a replicable community-oriented model for implementing alumni information systems in secondary education, demonstrating how web-based platforms can strengthen institutional alumni interactions and support digital transformation agendas across diverse educational contexts.
