PENGEMBANGAN INSTRUMEN PENGUKURAN HASIL PEMBELAJARAN MATA KULIAH PRONUNCIATION

The study aims at developing a valid and reliable test to measure students' English
pronunciation mastery. To meet the objective, two kinds of instruments were developed,
namely recognition and production tests. The instruments were tried out to students from
three pronunciation classes, and the results were then analyzed through validity and
reliability tests and an item analysis. Statistical analyses showed that the instruments were
unsatisfactory and needed revisions. After some revisions and try-outs, the revised
instruments proved to be valid and reliable with reliability coefficients of 0.940 for the
production test and 0.889 for the recognition test, and difficulty indices of 0.538
(moderate) and 0.546 (moderate) respectively.
