Descriptive quantitative analysis of a new literacy assessment tool for Papua’s primary students, indicating effective measurement of functional literacy.
Key Points
Results show that 18 of 20 items demonstrated strong validity, confirming the effectiveness of the contextualized literacy instrument for Papuan students.
With a KR-20 reliability coefficient of 0.79, the instrument reflects satisfactory internal consistency in measuring literacy skills among primary school pupils.
This evaluation utilized a descriptive quantitative methodology to assess item validity, reliability, difficulty distribution, and discriminative power based on real-life contexts.
These findings suggest that promoting local relevance in literacy assessments could improve outcomes for students in low-performing regions like Papua.
