Abstract

General Background: In the era of Industry 4.0, educational assessment must align with 21st-century competencies, requiring high-quality test instruments capable of measuring students’ cognitive abilities accurately. Specific Background: The quality of multiple-choice items is determined by parameters such as validity, reliability, difficulty level, discriminating power, distractor effectiveness, and cognitive level distribution according to Bloom’s Taxonomy. Knowledge Gap: In practice, many school examinations are developed from existing question banks without systematic quantitative analysis, resulting in instruments that may not fully represent students’ competencies or higher-order thinking skills. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the quality of Grade VII science test items on Motion and Force using the Test Analysis Program (TAP) based on standard psychometric criteria and cognitive domains. Results: Analysis of 40 items from 52 students indicated that 95% of the items were valid, with very high reliability (KR-20 = 0.929; split-half = 0.925). The difficulty level was dominated by easy items (82.5%), most items showed high discriminating power (60%), and 90% of distractors functioned effectively. The cognitive distribution was concentrated at the analyzing level (C4), with very limited representation of higher levels. Novelty: The study integrates TAP-based statistical analysis with cognitive domain mapping to provide a comprehensive evaluation of science test quality. Implications: The findings suggest that while the instrument meets most quality standards, improvements are needed in difficulty balance and higher-order thinking coverage to support meaningful assessment in contemporary science education. Highlights: Most questions met statistical standards for psychometric soundness. Items were heavily concentrated in low-to-moderate challenge categories. Higher cognitive levels were minimally represented in the instrument. Keywords: Test Analysis Program; Science Assessment; Item Analysis; Motion And Force; Junior High School

Abstract

Problems that often arise are the lack of understanding in implementing innovative learning models, which makes students quickly bored and have difficulty understanding the material. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Discovery Learning learning model with loose parts media in increasing students' interest and activity in science learning. The method in the study used a quantitative approach to quasi-experimental design. Data were collected through observation and documentation. The results of the study showed that the application of Discovery Learning with loose parts media significantly increased students' interest and learning activity in science learning. The use of this method is effective in creating an interesting learning environment, and is able to contribute to improving student learning outcomes. The results of the hypothesis test between the two groups prove that loose parts of the media can affect the ability to understand the Nature of Science and Scientific Methods.
