Uji Validitas dan Reliabilitas Instrumen Penelitian untuk Mengukur Tingkat Pemahaman Teks Cerita Pendek

Abstract

abstrak— Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi instrumen yang dibuat untuk mengukur pemahaman siswa terhadap teks cerita pendek, serta menguji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Validitas dan reliabilitas merupakan dua elemen penting dalam pengembangan alat penelitian, di mana validitas memastikan instrumen dapat menilai apa yang seharusnya dinilai, sedangkan reliabilitas memastikan konsistensi hasil pengukuran. Instrumen yang valid dan reliabel memungkinkan penilaian terhadap pemahaman siswa dilakukan secara objektif dan akurat. Hasil penelitian ini mencakup validitas dan reliabilitas butir soal tes pemahaman teks cerita pendek. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, dengan subjek penelitian dua guru yang memvalidasi butir instrumen tes dan siswa kelas IX SMP Ahmad Yani Baureno yang terlibat dalam uji coba instrumen tes. Data penelitian berupa nilai dan skor yang diperoleh melalui tes dan angket. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada pengembangan instrumen evaluasi yang lebih efektif dalam pengajaran sastra.

Abstract— This research aims to evaluate instruments created to measure students' understanding of short story texts, as well as test their validity and reliability. Validity and reliability are two important elements in the development of research tools, where validity ensures that the instrument can assess what it is supposed to assess, while reliability ensures the consistency of measurement results. Valid and reliable instruments enable assessments of student understanding to be carried out objectively and accurately. The results of this research include the validity and reliability of the short story text comprehension test items. This research was carried out using a quantitative approach, with the research subjects being two teachers who validated the test instrument items and class IX students at Ahmad Yani Baureno Middle School who were involved in testing the test instrument. Research data is in the form of grades and scores obtained through tests and questionnaires. This research contributes to the development of more effective evaluation instruments in literature teaching.
