To establish a criteria of success for students’ achievement, the certain criterion referring to reference standard assessment will be used as follows.
Table 3.2 Indicator of Success
Number Range of Score
Category The Quality
4 85-100
Very High A
3 70-84
High B
2 60-69
Average C
1 50-59
Low D
0-49 Very Low
E
To categorize the students’ percentage who will get up to 70 will calculated by applying the following formula :
P =
� �
x 100 Where :
P = percentage of students who get the point 70 R = The number of the students who get point above 70
T = The total number of students who do the test.
