Construction of Basic Science Process Skills Test for Grade 6 Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research were to 1) create and determine the quality of a basic science process skills test for grade 6 students and 2) assess a basic science process skills test. The sample group used in this research is grade 6 students in schools under Bangkok Khlong San District Office, academic year 2023, number of 190 students, using multi-stage random sampling. The research instrument was a basic science process skills test for grade 6 students. The statistics used to analyze the data included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Research Tools Analysis Program (RTAP). Findings are as follows, 1) the basic science process skills test for grade 6 students comprised eight skills: Observing, classifying, measuring, using numbers, relationship between space and time, organizing and communicating data, inferring and predicting and the quality of a basic science process skills test was found to be satisfactory. The content validity ranged from 0.67 to 1.00. The overall reliability was 0.91. The difficulty level ranged from 0.28 to 0.72, and the discrimination index ranged from 0.25 to 1.00. 2) The total score of basic science process skills test of grade 6 students was 66.97 percent.
