Development of Test Instrument Based Realistic Mathematics Education to Improve High Order Thinking Skills

Abstract

Based on result of PISA 2015 in mathematics showed that characteristics of learning mathematics Indonesia students still used to the Lower Order Thinking Skill. Based on it, developed test instrument becomes important. This Research aims to develop and produce a test instrument based on realistic mathematics education to improve the high order thinking skills for grade VIII students. The type of research is a development research (Research & Development), where this research using the ADDIE model. ADDIE consist five stages: Analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation). This research was conducted in one of the junior high schools in Medan. The result showed that the quality of test instrument had been successfully developed from validity aspect, practicality aspect and effectiveness aspect.
