Pengembangan Instrumen Pengukuran Kemampuan Berkarya Seni Rupa pada AUD

Abstract

This article aims to develop the instrument to measure the ability of creating fine arts in early childhood. The present research employed Borg and Gall’s model of Research and Development, included ten stages; (1) research and information collecting, (2) planning, (3) develop preliminary form of product, (4) preliminary field testing, (5) main product revision, (6) main field testing, (7) operational product revision, (8) operational field testing, (9) final product revision, and (10) dissemination and implementation. Early childhood children should master the aspect of art development including the fine art. A valid and reliable instrument is needed to measure the achievement of art development in early childhood, especially fine art. The instrument is structured based on the theory that is derived into a grid which developed through two stages of validation, construct and empirical validations. Construct validation is done through Focus Group Discussion attended by early childhood education teachers and empirical validation is done through trials. From the results of empirical validity test, it is known that all indicator items are declared valid. The next process is instrument reliability test. From the results of reliability test, the Cronbach Alpha coefficient is above the R table value, so the instrument is declared reliable. After the instrument developed is declared valid and reliable, then the research results are disseminated to internalize the developed instrument.
