Abstract

This study aims to determine the validity of the Islamic Secondary School test instrument in Arabic subject. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis, by analyzing the test instrument and examining three logical sub-validities: surface, content, and construct validities. The results show that surface validity is still low because of many mistakes in pronunciation, letters, syntax, word form and choice, preposition use, writing of hamzah letters, matching, and option errors. Content validity shows that the distribution of discussion topics is already represented on the items of the test, but the validity of language goals and actions is still dominated by understanding and grammatical skills, few questions for speech acts and idea analysis skills, and none of them measure the ability to present the results of the analysis of ideas from the text. The logical validity for the sub-construct validity shows that the level of knowledge still dominates the items, followed by the levels of analysis, understanding, application, synthesis, and evaluation. The level of imagination and creation does not get a portion.
