4.4.1 The Computation of the Test Item Validity

“Test validity is defined as the degree to which a test measures what it claims to be measuring.” Brown: 1988: 100. A valid instrument has high level of validity. 39 The validity of the instrument was measured by applying the Pearson’s Product-Moment Coefficient of Correlation. The formula is as follows: = ∑ − ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ − ∑ Best, 1981:248 In which: = correlation coefficient, = number of paired scores, ∑ = sum of the products of paired X and Y scores, ∑ = the sum of the X scores, ∑ = the sum of the Y scores, ∑ = sum of the squared X scores, and ∑ = sum of the squared Y scores. Criteria: The item test is valid if r xy r table The following is the example of counting the validity of aspect number 1 which is accent aspect, for the other items will use the same formula. By using the formula, I obtained that: = ∑ − ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ − ∑ = 34 1218 − 88456 34 244 − 88 34 6252 − 456 = 41412 − 40128 8296 − 7744212568 − 207936 40 = 1284 5524632 = 1284 √2556864 = 1284 1599 = 0.80 On α = 5 with N = 34, it is obtained = 0.339 Because of 01 , so the item number 1 is valid. It means that the test items which include ascent aspects can be said as the valid test items. The validity of the test items is 0.80 whereas the validity of the table is only 0.339. The entire results of test item validity analysis can be found in the appendix 6.

4.4.2 The Reliability of the Test

Test reliability refers to the consistency of the examination scores. It might be assessed in many ways. In this research, to find out the reliability of the research, Alpha formula stated by Arikunto 2006: 196 was applied, as the following: = − 1 1 − ∑ Total Variance: = ∑ − ∑ = 6252 − 456 34 34 = 4 41 The Item Variance: = ∑ − ∑ 2 31 = 244 − 88 34 34 = 0.47 32 = 293 − 99 34 34 = 0.15 35 = 258 − 92 34 34 = 0.26 4 3 = 2.08 the entire result of item variance can be seen in appendix 7 The computation of reliability test with alpha formula is as follows: = 5 5 5 − 16 51 − 2.08 4 6 = 0.6 For α = 5 and number of students = 34, 01 = 0.339 From the computation above, it can be concluded that the reliability of the test is 0.6, whereas the reliability of the table is 0.339. Because 01 , then instrument is reliable.
