International Conference Semarang Early Childhood Research and Educational Talks Semarang, Indonesia 13 – 14 May 2016 Semarang Early Childhood Research and Education Talks 49 suitability to a form of distribution of specific populations or sample that comes from two identical populations that further were tested for homogeneity by using levene test.

1. Validity and Reliability Test of Research Instruments

Data validity test aims to prove the validity of the data obtained from the questionnaire. Data validity test is doing by using Product Moment correlation Pearson Correlation. The data is considered to be valid if it has a significant level of 0,05, and has coefficient correlation in pearson correlation of 0,374. The result of validity test of the data in this study can be seen as follows: Table 1.

The data meets the requirements of significance value of 0,05, therefore, all assessment items can be used and trusted to collect the necessary data. For the result of data validity in the control class at Al Hikmah Bondowoso kindergarten can be seen in Table 2 as follows: International Conference Semarang Early Childhood Research and Educational Talks Semarang, Indonesia 13 – 14 May 2016 Semarang Early Childhood Research and Education Talks 50 Table 2.

The data meets the requirements of significance value of 0,05, therefore, all assessment items can be used and trusted to collect the necessary data. The reliability test is done by finding the number of reliability of assessment items by using the standart formula of Item Alpha. After obtain the value α, then compare that value to the reliable critical number on the table α, which is the table that shows the relationship between the number of the questions and the reliability of the instrument that can be seen in Table 3 below: Table 3.
