Abstract

Teachers' ability to construct tests is essential. It is one of the pedagogical competencies that teachers must have. However, constructing a test is not easy. Thus, this research intended to investigate English teachers' ability to construct tests based on the scope of materials and the cognitive level in Serang Regency. The participants were 12 teachers of junior high schools in Serang regency chosen by the criteria of private and state schools, academic background, and certification status. This research employed qualitative research with a case study design. The data was gained from the document, interview, questionnaire, and observation. This research results revealed that a few English teachers in Serang Regency were able to construct tests based on the scope of materials and the cognitive level. In addition, based on the classification of school type, private school teachers were better than state school teachers in terms of constructing tests based on the scope of materials and the cognitive level. Meanwhile, academic background and certification status did not affect the teachers' ability to construct tests based on the scope of materials. On the contrary, academic background and certification status influenced English teachers' ability in terms of cognitive levels. Thus, participants stated that the main problem in constructing tests was the students' ability and cognitive level appropriateness. Keywords: Teachers’ ability, constructing tests, the scope of materials, cognitive levels, Serang Regency

Additional Information: Kemampuan guru menyusun tes sangat penting. Hal tersebut merupakan salah satu kompetensi pedagogik yang harus dimiliki guru. Namun, menyusun tes tidak mudah. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan guru bahasa Inggris dalam menyusun tes berdasarkan cakupan materi dan tingkat kognitif di Kabupaten Serang. Pesertanya adalah dua belas guru SMP se-Kabupaten Serang. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data diperoleh dari dokumen, wawancara, angket, dan observasi. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa guru bahasa Inggris di Kabupaten Serang hanya sedikit yang mampu menyusun tes berdasarkan cakupan materi dan tingkat kognitif. Berdasarkan klasifikasi jenis sekolah, guru sekolah swasta menujukkan performa lebih baik dari guru sekolah negeri dalam hal menyusun tes berdasarkan cakupan materi dan tingkat kognitif. Sedangkan latar belakang akademik dan status sertifikasi tidak mempengaruhi kemampuan guru dalam menyusun tes berdasarkan ruang lingkup materi. Sebaliknya, dalam hal tingkat kognitif sebuah tes, latar belakang akademik dan status sertifikasi mempengaruhi kemampuan guru bahasa Inggris. Selanjutnya, peserta menyatakan bahwa masalah utama dalam menyusun tes adalah kemampuan siswa dan kesesuaian tes dengan tingkat kognitif siswa. Kata kunci: Kemampuan guru, menyusun tes, ruang lingkup materi, tingkat kognitif, Kabupaten Serang
