Abstract

This study aimed to describe the steps of development and test quality of Classroom Based Assessment subjects based on higher order thinking skills (HOTS). This research is a development research using Borg & Gall modification model which consists of 4 main stages namely needs analysis, initial product design, validation and evaluation, and final product design. Product trials to find out the quality of HOTS questions developed were carried out on 30 college student of postgraduate program in Undiksha. The results showed, (1) test development steps included information gathering, grid development, initial design, expert validation, limited trials, initial product revision, large group trials, final revisions, and final test design, as well as ( 2) the quality of the tests developed was classified as good with very high content validity, both in terms of material, HOTS criteria, and problem construction (CVR 0.98). Furthermore, the quality of empirical validity is classified as good with 95% of test items being developed valid and high test device reliability (0.64), whereas, the level of difficulty of the overall test device was medium (P 0.52) with 12% of the questions having an easy level of difficulty, 86% of the questions had a moderate level of difficulty, and 2% had a high level of difficulty. Judging from the distinguishing power, this test device has a good power difference and as many as 77% of the test items distracters function properly.
