Abstract

Science literacy is a critical skill in the 21st century, particularly for middle school students navigating the complexities of energy concepts in science education. This study aims to develop and validate an essay-based assessment instrument designed to measure students' science literacy skills in the context of energy. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research involved expert validation, panel validation, and empirical testing with 111 students from junior high school in Sukabumi, Indonesia. The results revealed that the instrument possesses strong content validity, with Aiken's V, CVR, and I-CVI scores exceeding 0.80. Construct validity analysis using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) confirmed the suitability of the factor structure, while reliability tests yielded McDonald’s ω = 0.886 and Cronbach's α = 0.922, indicating excellent internal consistency. The instrument also includes a detailed analytical rubric to ensure objective and transparent evaluation. This validated tool offers educators a reliable means of assessing students' science literacy comprehensively, addressing a critical gap in science education evaluation. By fostering more effective assessment practices, this study contributes to enhancing the quality of science education in Indonesia and beyond.

Abstract

This study investigates evaluation instruments that promote critical and futuristic awareness in middle school science through an emancipatory framework. Emphasizing the necessity for students to critically analyze scientific concepts and anticipate future outcomes, this research aims to develop tools that foster reflective thinking and social accountability. The instruments assess students' comprehension of scientific principles while encouraging awareness of social and environmental repercussions. By incorporating emancipatory educational principles, this research seeks to empower students as active learners, equipping them for the complexities of a swiftly evolving world. The findings underscore the importance of innovative evaluation techniques in enhancing science education.

Abstract

This study examines the psychometric properties of a Mathematics Readiness Assessment Tool for elementary school students using Rasch analysis through the Winstep program. The analysis involved 214 students responding to 15 items. Results show strong psychometric characteristics with an item reliability of 0.95 and person reliability of 0.69. The instrument demonstrates good construct validity with INFIT and OUTFIT MNSQ values falling within the acceptable range (0.5-1.5). Analysis of unidimensionality showed satisfactory results with raw variance explained by measures at 26.8% and unexplained variance in the first contrast at 7.6%. Local independence assumption was met with residual correlations ranging from -0.22 to 0.20. Item difficulty ranges from -1.33 to 1.56 logits, indicating a good spread of item difficulties. The test information function shows optimal measurement precision for students of average ability levels, though less precise for extremely high or low abilities. Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis revealed some items requiring revision, particularly items 13-15. The instrument's Alpha Cronbach value of 0.73 indicates good internal consistency. Overall, the assessment tool demonstrates adequate psychometric properties for measuring mathematics readiness in elementary school students, though some improvements are recommended for optimal measurement across all ability levels.

Abstract

The admission process in Integrated Islamic Junior High Schools (SMPIT) often faces challenges of subjectivity, inefficiency, and lack of transparency in determining selection results. This can lead to inappropriate student placement and decreased trust from stakeholders. This study aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) based on a combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) to improve objectivity and accountability in student selection. AHP is used to determine the weights of the four main academic criteria-the report card scores of Mathematics, Science, Indonesian, and English-based on consistent expert judgment. Furthermore, the SAW method processes the normalized and weighted scores to produce a final ranking of 100 prospective students. The implementation results show that the AHP-SAW integration is able to produce quantitative, transparent, and data-based rankings, thus minimizing subjectivity in the selection process. It provides a structured and replicable model, supporting fairness and efficiency in student admission. This approach is relevant to be applied in educational institutions that want to align the selection process with Islamic educational values and multi-criteria-based objectivity principles.

Abstract

Literacy is essential for academic success, social engagement, and long-term career prospects. This study analyzes literacy improvements under the Independent Curriculum from 2023 to 2025 using the Education Report Card. The analysis evaluates the curriculum's impact on literacy, readiness for high school, and the role of literacy in social engagement. The study used a longitudinal approach, collecting education reports, teacher and student interviews, and annual surveys. This provided a comprehensive view of literacy development. Results showed significant improvement during the study. By 2025, all students will have achieved minimum literacy competencies, and 73.68% exceeded the standards. The findings highlight the value of collaborative projects, such as fake news analysis and gender equality campaigns, in strengthening text evaluation and critical thinking. However, challenges remain, including limited funding for technology and achievement disparities. The study emphasizes the need for coordination between curriculum policies, teacher training, and inclusive learning environments to maintain literacy gains. The findings should help policymakers and educators design effective and sustainable literacy strategies to meet future educational demands.
