Abstract

This study aim to assess the ability of seventh-grade student to solve multiple choice science questions using the Rasch Model. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing an instrument to consisting of 30 science questions aligned with the Kurikulum Merdeka. The sample comprised 75 junior high school students in Bandung City, selected through non probability sampling. The results indicated that participant 49 demonstrated the highest ability, whereas participants 15 and 22 as the lowest abilities. Question number 21 was identified as the most difficult, while question number 5 was the easiest. The Rasch Model revealed a high reliability of the questions, with a coefficient of 0.91. furthermore, the analysis indicated that question number 4,11,12,13,14,15, and 18 had low validity and should be discarded. Additionally, the Rasch Model was able to identify students who were potentially cheating during the test. These findings confirm that the Rasch Model is viable tool for evaluating the quality of test questions before they are administrated to students.

Abstract

This study examines how modern national leaders use inaugural speeches to shape national ideology and express shared values. These speeches, often delivered during crucial political transitions, serve as rhetorical frameworks where leaders communicate their vision, moral stance, and governing philosophy to both domestic and international audiences. Focusing on four English-language inaugural addresses from Southeast Asia (the Philippines and Singapore) and Southern Africa (South Africa and Zambia), this research applies comparative thematic analysis to identify common and contrasting ideological patterns in postcolonial and developmental-state contexts. Using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase model, the study identifies and interprets recurring themes that show how leaders employ language to establish legitimacy, unity, and moral authority. Reliability was confirmed using Cohen’s Kappa (κ = 0.851), indicating a high level of analytical consistency. Findings reveal that while all leaders use optimistic, future-oriented rhetoric emphasizing progress and inclusivity, their underlying value systems differ. Southeast Asian leaders tend to focus on pragmatic governance, economic development, and institutional continuity, whereas Southern African leaders center their messages on moral renewal, democracy, and resilience, reflecting their nations’ liberation histories. The study contributes to discourse research by showing how political leaders in non-Western contexts use language as a tool for reproducing ideology and shaping collective identity.
