The development of equating application for computer based in physics hots category

Abstract

This study aims to develop a score equating application for computer-based school exams using paralleltest kits with 25% anchor items. The items are arranged according to HOTS (High Order Thinking Skill)category, and use a scientific approach according to the physics lessons characteristics. Therefore, thequestions were made using stimulus, options, logical and systematic. This study used Research andDevelopment (R&D) method, which began with an analysis of the current school needs, and takesadvantage of technological developments that make it easier for schools to organize. Furthermore, itcontinues in the literature study to design a school exam model with its devices. The instrument itemswere analyzed using the RASCH model. In addition, the principle of equating used in applicationdevelopment was the linear equating method
