UNY Physics Department Holds Training on Preparation and Analysis of Physics Question Items

A teacher in carrying out the learning process in class is not only skilled enough in carrying out learning planning and implementation. However, it is also very necessary to understand and practice assessment and evaluation techniques in the learning process. Assessment and evaluation are important to review student development.

In order to provide guidance to physics teachers regarding the implementation of assessment and evaluation of learning, a team of lecturers from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Yogyakarta State University (UNY) held training on the preparation and analysis of physics questions, Thursday (03/8/2023) at TeleConference Room, Sugeng Mardiyono Building, UNY Postgraduate School. This training was delivered by a team headed by Prof. Dr. Drs. Edi Istiyono, M.Sc. and consisting of Prof. Dr. Mundilarto, M.Pd., Dr. Drs. Supahar, M.Si., Irvany Nurita Pebriana, M.Pd., and Tsania Nur Diyana, M.Pd.

A total of 26 Physics teacher representatives in the Physics Subject Teachers' Conference (MGMP) forum for Physics Madrasah Aliyah throughout the Special Region of Yogyakarta took part in this training. The training activities were carried out in 3 stages, namely the presentation of material related to diagnostic tests in today's physics learning by Prof. Dr. Edi Istiyono, M.Sc. followed by group discussions regarding filling in the rubric for determining Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) through analysis of several physics assessment questions. After the discussion, it was continued with the delivery of material related to determining the criteria-reference passing limit (standard setting).

Mr Warjo, S.Pd, M.Pd. the Physics teacher at MAN 1 Yogyakarta as well as the chairman of the DIY MA Physics MGMP welcomed this activity and was very supportive. “Training activities like this are very beneficial for us. "Hopefully, every year similar activities can be carried out to broaden our insight in the learning evaluation process in class, especially for physics subjects," said Mr. Warjo.
