Kata Kunci: tes pengetahuan praktikum biologi, GRM, GPCM ______________________________________________________________ DEVELOPMENT OF A TEST OF BIOLOGY PRACTICUM KNOWLEDGE WITH GRADED RESPONSE AND GENERALIZED PARTIAL CREDIT MODELS Abstract This study aims to generate information to define the polytomous item response models which are more suitable with the data. The items were developed by the polytomous item response theory approach. The tryout participants were 1030 Year VII students selected from five junior high schools in Yogyakarta City. A suitable model was selected based on the result of PARSCALE parameterization and a description of the functional relationship between the testees’ responses and their ability levels indicated by the test information curves (TIC). The study yields 16 items for the item bank in which the discrimination index of each item is > 0.25 logit scale and the difficulty index ranges from -3 to +3 logit scale. The information shows that GRM and GPCM models of are suitable for scoring the administered TBPK. GPCM possibly reflects reality more regarding how the data are yielded so that on the basis of TIC it seems more accurate to estimate students’ ability than GRM. Keywords: a test of biology practicum knowledge (TBPK), GRM, GPCM

Department of Biology, State University of Semarang (Unnes) is beeing committed to implement competency and conservation-based curriculum since the academic year 2012/2013. Character of the conservation values inculcated through integration in the learning process. This research problem is how to develop conservation based character education values. This research aims to generate value conservation character based learning of General Biology with a exploring environment (JAS) strategy. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach. As informants are faculty and students who teach and learn using competency and conservation-based curriculum for General Biology subjects. Data obtained in the form of descriptions of learning activities and interviews with informants. The data were analyzed later narrated. The results show the development of conservation-based character education values can begin of simple things that happen in the process of active and effective learning. Furthermore, teachers can pull things demonstrated by cognitive, affective and behavioral students of both positive and negative to the corresponding construct ten conservation value of character education.

The problem of this study were (1) how the model construction and evaluation instruments (2) whether the instrument can be used to evaluate the results of the implementation of learning English curriculum in Biological Science Education Program UNNES lecturer in terms of performance indicators. Development of research aims to produce an evaluation instrument and whether the instrument can be used to find English-language classes are conducted in accordance with the expected success criteria I-MHERE program for faculty performance indicators. Methods of model development to take some model development procedure Borg & Gall. Model validation is done through focus group discussions and request a written opinion of an expert. The data were analyzed descriptively and used to produce products in the form of evaluation instruments for use in model evaluation context, input, prosses, and product or the Stufflebeam CIPP. The results component in the form of instruments to evaluate faculty input, the input component of the curriculum, and the components of the curriculum implementation process of learning English I-MHERE Prodi Education in Biology, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, in particular to review the indicators UNNES lecturer. The instrument has been developed to serve the purpose of such instruments are developed until the early trials.
