1. Determining the Subject The writer determined the subject of the research, it was done in SMPN 1 Karya
Penggawa Pesisir Barat. 2. Choosing the Sample
The writer chosen one class as the sample of this research by using cluster random sampling technique.
3. Determining the Instruments The writer determined the instruments of the research. In the form of multiple
choice test and writing test. 4. Giving the Try Out
The writer gave the try out to the students out the sample of the research, it is to know the level of the validity and reliability of the instrument. After having the
validity and reliability of the instrument, next the writer was distributed the instrument to collect the data for the sample of the research.
5. Analyzing the Data The writer analyzed the data by using the formula.
6. Taking the Conclusion The writer took the conclusion from the result of the research.
J. Validity, Reliability, and Readability of the Test
1. Validity of the Test
Validity is the most important idea to consider where preparing or selection an instrument for use.
12
An instrument can be said valid when it can measure what it wants to measure. In other words, an instrument can be said valid if it can show the
data of variables that are being research correctly. To know the validity of the test, it was provided content, construct and internal validity. In this case, the validity of the
test was calculated by using anates. Anates is application program capable of calculating the analysis for multiple choice and essay of items quickly, easily and
accurately.
13
It means that anates is used to calculate the validity of the test for multiple choice and essay of items quickly, easily and accurately.
