A Rasch analysis of the International Personality Item Pool Big Five Markers Questionnaire : Is longer better?
(University of Novi Sad, 2023-05-24) Hanif Akhtar; Bambang Sumintono
The 50-item International Personality Item Pool version of the Big Five Markers (IPIP-BFM) is an open-source and widely used measure of the big five personality traits. A short version of this measure (IPIP-BFM-25) has been developed using the classical test theory approach. No study was performed to examine the psychometric properties of a longer and shorter version of IPIP-BFM Indonesia using modern test theory. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of IPIP-BFM as well as IPIP-BFM-25 using Rasch analysis. The analysis was conducted in order to test their dimensionality, rating scale functioning, item properties, person responses, targeting, reliability, and item bias on 1003 Indonesian samples. The findings showed that both IPIP-BFM and IPIP-BFM-25 Indonesia have some adequate psychometric properties, especially regarding category function, item properties, reliability, and item bias. However, the emotional stability and intellect scales did not meet the assumption of unidimensionality, and all items on the scales were too easy to endorse by participants. In general, longer measures outperformed shorter measures in terms of person separation and reliability. Further testing and refinement must be conducted.

Attraction of Authority: The Indonesian Experience of Educational Decentralization
(Springer, 2023-07-14) Bambang Sumintono; Hasan Hariri; Umi Anugerah Izzati
The fall of the New Order government in 1998 changed the landscape of Indonesian education from a highly centralized system to a decentralized one. With this paradigm shift, district governments received a transfer of power in most public sectors in 2001, including education. The central questions in this chapter are: (1) How has Indonesia managed education in the decentralization era? and (2) How has the country managed the changes so far? Four key issues are discussed, namely, new regime of standardization, school operational cost, teachers and principals, and National Exam. We argue that Indonesian educational decentralization has mostly been about legitimacy and authority dialectics between local/district and central institutions. Moving from a highly centralized system to a more locally oriented one contests the legitimacy of each actor involved, resulting in competition for resources and survival. Nevertheless, we also identified some advances in terms of social justice and student learning support in this process of decentralization.

Development and validation of students’ competency instrument on science process skills
(Atlantis Press, 2024-08-22) Ellyza Karim; Syakima Ilyana Ibrahim; Hanani Harun Rasit; Bambang Sumintono
Science process skills are fundamental to science learning and consequently promote scientific literacy among students. Scientists use these skills to construct knowledge during investigation. Thus, science process skills should be acquired not only by scientists, but by all individuals. This study reviews the validity and reliability of an instrument development for science process skills usinginterval rating scale as answer choice ranging from poor to excellent. This instrument was developed based on the perception of 300 respondents who were the primary school leavers, aged thirteen. As the instrument was newly developed, a pilot study was conducted to determine the empirical proof on the validity and reliability of the test. A total of 68 items were constructed in the test using verified indicators based on the experts and literature reviews. Rasch Measurement Model was employed to analyse the data. Overall, the person reliability is found at 0.97 while the item reliability is 0.99. The range of Point Measure Correlation (PMC) is positive between 0.33 to 0.67 for all items. All items are accepted as the outfit mean square (MNSQ) has the range between 0.59 and 1.55 while the infit MNSQ is between 0.74 to 1.56 indicating a good measure of latent variables for item fit. Based on the item map, the findings suggest that, for experimenting skill, only 11% of students could design scientific steps independently. Meanwhile, for using space and time relationship skill, respondents reported that the item ‘determination for the object position with time’ was the most excellent item. The scale used in this instrument was also found to adequately measure the latent constructs of science process skills.

(Elsevier, 2023-05-05) Muhammad Luthfi Hidayat; Hariyatmi; Dwi Setyo Astuti; Bambang Sumintono; Meccawy, Maram; Khanzada, Tariq J.S.
This dataset used the Digital Competency Scale (DCS) to describe Indonesian pre-service teachers’ perceptions. The DCS instrument consisted of five constructs/dimensions, which are: 1) data and information literacy, 2) communication and collaboration, 3) digital content creation, 4) safety, and 5) problem-solving, with a total of 36 items using five-point agreement Likert scale. The data was gathered from 23 education and teacher training faculties at Muhammadiyah Universities in 14 provinces across Indonesia in the academic year 2021/2022. A total of 1400 students (18 to 23 years old) in their first to fifth years of study were recruited using the convenience sampling technique, where they participated in filling in the survey electronically using Google Form. The dataset was analysed with the Rasch model measurement approach using WINSTEPS version 5.2.3 software for data cleaning and validation, and reliability and validity testing of the instrument. This dataset analysis can help teacher-training institutions, or higher education policymakers design effective programmes to improve pre-service teachers' digital competencies. Furthermore, researchers can compare this dataset with more rigorous data from other countries.

Exploration of leadership development challenges among MARA college lecturers
(2024) Norashdimah Misdi; Fadzliyati Kamaruddin; Zuraidah Abdullah; Bambang Sumintono
The educational change in the 21st Century has resulted in more dynamic leadership among educators. Thus, the issue of challenges in terms of leadership among educators becomes the focus of the present study. The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges faced by MARA College lecturers in an effort to improve their leadership level. The research design uses a qualitative method involving two instruments, namely an open-ended questionnaire and a face-to-face structured interview. A total of 37 lecturers from four MARA colleges, consisting of 9 males and 28 females participated in this study. The findings identified several factors that hinder the development of leadership among the lecturers at MARA College. It was discovered that factors such as time constraints, an unsupportive environment, and the level of lecturers' readiness became obstacles for the lecturers at MARA College to conduct action research related to T&L activity. Furthermore, feeling insecure and being negative are the internal factors, in addition to negative reactions from peers around, that also prevent the lecturers of MARA College from carrying out their knowledge-sharing activities. Thus, the management and lecturers at MARA College are advised to collectively evaluate and pay attention to action research activities that address local problems so that the learning atmosphere among lecturers can be strengthened and this can subsequently empower leadership among lecturers at MARA College

Exploring teacher collaboration: what's inside the Malaysian PLC black box?
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2023-10-30) Zuliana Mohd Zabidi; Zuraidah Abdullah; Bambang Sumintono
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore mathematics teachers’ collaboration within their professional learning communities (PLCs), and to gain insight into how the teachers developed their collective efficacy through it to focus on improving student learning. Design/methodology/approach – Using a qualitative approach, data were collected from three high- performing secondary schools, mainly through semi-structured in-depth interviews with the Heads of Mathematics Unit. For explication and triangulation purposes, focus group interviews with the mathematics teachers and students and document analysis were also conducted. Findings – The findings indicate that PLCs were the vessel through which a culture of disciplined teacher collaboration was fostered. More importantly, this culture encouraged teachers to participate in reflective dialogues that became a driver for their learning, and eventually led to their changed professional practice for improved student learning. The collaborative setting within the PLCs allowed teachers to pool their resources, knowledge and individual expertise to identify their student learning focus, and administer and measure their student intervention strategies. This collaborative professional learning reduced professional isolation, and as a result, improved teachers’ collective pursuit of professional growth to impact student outcomes. Research limitations/implications – The aim of this qualitative study was to provide a detailed description of the teachers’ collaboration within their PLCs based on the researchers’ interpretation of how the participants make sense of their PLC practices and experiences. Hence, findings are indicative, and not definitive. In addition, the Heads of the Mathematics Unit, and the mathematics teacher participants in this study illustrated salient aspects of subject subcultures, where their beliefs, norms and practices were non- generic, or specific only to their subject context. Therefore, the implications to practice were built from commonalities shared only among the mathematics units. Originality/value – This is a study in a Malaysian context that provides empirical evidences that are concerned primarily with the process of teachers developing their collective efficacy through disciplined collaboration within their PLCs.

Longitudinal study of school climate instrument with secondary school students : validity and reliability analysis with the rasch model
(University of Malaya, 2024-10) Siti Nadya Zynuddin; Bambang Sumintono
The school climate plays a pivotal role in students’ outcomes. Previous literature has highlighted several methodological approaches employed in the school climate domain, including longitudinal studies. However, little is known about the validity and reliability of school climate instruments for longitudinal studies using Rasch analysis. Rasch model is a powerful approach to validate assessment on both item and test levels. Rasch model is coined from the probability of each response and includes item difficulty parameters to characterize the measured items. Moreover, the score represents the item and the person involved with the assessment. Thus, the current study aimed to validate school climate instruments for longitudinal studies with a six-month gap within the context of secondary school students by utilising Rasch analysis. This study evaluated aspects of reliability and validity, such as unidimensionality, rating scale analysis, item fit statistics, item targeting, and differential item functioning. A total of 1,495 secondary school students from public schools in Selangor, Malaysia, completed a 28-item Malay version of the school climate survey at Time-1 and Time-2, with a six-month gap. The results of the Rasch analysis indicated that the instrument had excellent reliability and separation indices, excellent unidimensionality and construct validity, a functional rating scale, good item-person targeting, and good item fit statistics. The current findings provided valid and reliable insights pertinent for policymakers to strategise interventions and initiatives to enhance the quality of school climate and overall education, particularly in the Asian context.

Measuring changes in hydrolysis concept of students taught by inquiry model : stacking and racking analysis techniques in Rasch model
(Elsevier, 2022-03-18) Lukman Abdul Rauf Laliyo; Bambang Sumintono; Citra Panigoro
This research aimed to employ stacking and racking analysis techniques in the Rasch model to measure the hydrolysis conceptual changes of students taught by the process-oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) model in the context of socio-scientific issues (SSI) with the pretest-posttest control group design. Such techniques were based on a person- and item-centered statistic to determine how students and items changed during interventions. Eleventh-grade students in one of the top-ranked senior high schools in the eastern part of Indonesia were involved as the participants. They provided written responses (pre- and post-test) to 15 three-tier multiple-choice items. Their responses were assessed through a rubric that combines diagnostic measurement and certainty of response index. Moreover, the data were analyzed following the Rasch Partial Credit Model, using the WINSTEPS 4.5.5 software. The results suggested that students in the experimental group taught by the POGIL approach in the SSI context had better positive conceptual changes than those in the control class learning with a conventional approach. Along with the intervention effect, in certain cases, it was found that positive conceptual changes were possibly due to student guessing, which happened to be correct (lucky guess), and cheating. In other cases, students who experienced negative conceptual changes may respond incorrectly due to carelessness, the boredom of problem-solving, or misconception. Such findings have also proven that some students tend to give specific responses after the intervention in certain items, indicating that not all students fit the intervention. Besides, stacking and racking analyses are highly significant in detailing every change in students’ abilities, item difficulty levels, and learning progress.

Background: Regular monitoring of the pandemic's psychosocial impact could be conducted among the community but is limited through online media. This study aims to evaluate the self-rating questionnaire commonly used for online monitoring of the psychosocial implications of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: The data were taken from the online assessment results of two groups, with a total of 765 participants. The instruments studied were Self-Rating Questionnaire (SRQ-20), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale-10 (CESD-10), used in the online assessment. Data analysis used Rasch modeling and Winsteps applications. Validity and reliability were tested, and data were fit with the model, rating scale, and item fit analysis. Results: All the scales for outfit mean square (MnSq) were very close to the ideal value of 1.0, and the Chi-square test was significant. Item reliability was greater than 0.67, item separation was greater than 3, and Cronbach's alpha was greater than 0.60; all the instruments were considered very good. The raw variance explained by measures for the SRQ-20, PTSD, and CESD-10 was 30.7%, 41.6%, and 47.6%, respectively. The unexplained eigenvalue variances in the first contrast were 2.3, 1.6, and 2.0 for the SRQ-20, PTSD, and CESD-10, respectively. All items had positive point-measure correlations. Conclusion: The internal consistency of all the instruments was reliable. Data were fit to the model as the items were productive for measurement and had a reasonable prediction. All the scales are functionally one-dimensional.

Profile of Teacher Leaders in an Indonesian School Context: How the Teachers Perceive Themselves
(Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2023-12-29) Hasan Hariri; Hamid Mukhlis; Bambang Sumintono
Teacher leaders play an important role in advancing learning in schools. However, this theme is under- researched, particularly in the Indonesian school context. This study investigated how Indonesian teachers rate themselves as being teacher leaders using the Teacher Leadership Self-Assessment (TLSA) instrument with a quantitative approach. The data was collected from 3,564 teachers from Lampung Province, Indonesia, with a cross-sectional method using an online platform. The collected data was analysed using the Rasch Analysis approach and showed good reliability and validity for the TLSA instrument as well as the Indonesian data. The findings showed that Indonesian teachers perceived themselves as having high levels of teacher leadership, but at the same time, the behaviours under the construct of communication were rarely engaged in and was thus identified as an area for improvement. Meanwhile, in terms of perceiving themselves as teacher leaders, the senior teachers, and those with more working experience were more significantly different in many constructs compared to the other demographic variables. The implications of this study suggest that there is still room to enhance teacher leadership by identifying the constructs and considering the teachers’ demographic variables.

Ratee Competency Level in Classroom Assessment: Application of Many Facet Rasch Model
(Faculty of Education, Universiti Malaya, 2023-12-21) Rosyafinaz Mohamat; Bambang Sumintono; Harris Shah Abd Hamid
This study examines teachers’ Classroom Assessment (CA) competency using the Many Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) analysis. Instruments with good psychometric characteristics can guarantee more accurate and fair measurement to respondents. If such instruments are not developed, it is feared that teachers cannot identify their competency level in the CA. The instrument consists of 56 items built based on three primary constructs: knowledge in CA, skills in CA, and attitude towards CA. The research design of this study is a quantitative method with a multi-rater approach using a questionnaire distributed to the raters. Respondents are 262 raters: The Head of Mathematics and Science Department, The Head of Mathematics Panel, and the Mathematics Teacher to assess 100 ratees. The ratees involved in this study are 100 secondary school Mathematics teachers from Selangor. The results show that among the advantages of MFRM are that it can determine the ability and consistency level of the ratees and also detect unexpected responses by the ratees. This study indicates that MFRM is an alternative model suitable to overcome the limitations in Classical Test Theory (CTT) and statistical models in multi-rater analysis. MFRM has the advantage of providing complete information and contributes to understanding the consistent analysis of the ratees’ ability with quantitative evidence support. Furthermore, MFRM can produce better and more precise measurements and make it easier for researchers to communicate the findings.

Rater Severity in Measuring Teachers’ Competency in Classroom Assessment
(Academic Inspired Network (AIN), 2022-06-30) Rosyafinaz Mohamat; Harris Shah Abd Hamid; Bambang Sumintono
Many Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) provided more honest information on the validity of the judgement process by considering the factors of raters’ variability and estimating the ratee abilities without depending on the severity or leniency of raters. The multi-rater method produced a more stable and precise assessment and has higher reliability than the self- assessment method. However, the raters have different characteristics that can influence their severity level when evaluating the ratees. This study aims to investigate the effect of gender and job position on rater severity when assessing teachers’ competency in Classroom Assessment (CA) by using MFRM. The instrument consists of 56 items built based on three main constructs; knowledge in CA, skills in CA, and attitude towards CA. This study used a quantitative multi- rater approach using a questionnaire distributed to 262 raters to assess 100 ratees. Raters’ severity levels form four categories based on the logit measure value. There are no significant mean differences between the rating of male and female raters. Similarly, there is no significant mean difference between the rating based on job positions held by the raters.

Scholarly Discourse on Equity, Inclusion, and Education by Scholars in Indonesia : A Bibliometric and Science Mapping Analysis
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia Press, 2024-06-28) Moosa, Visal; Charyna Ayu Rizkyanti; Bambang Sumintono
Equity, inclusion, and education are remarkable elements encompassed in the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). As such, there is a growing number of publications on these topics presenting some challenges to envision an overarching understating of the connections among these subjects. Hence, the purpose of the current study is to explore the body of research that involves equity, inclusion, and education that is contributed by Indonesian academia by employing bibliometric and science mapping analysis. The search was conducted on SCOPUS database which resulted in some 400 plus documents after applying the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was analyzed employing various bibliometric analysis indicators such as number of publications, contributing institutions, citation, co-citation, and keywords. Microsoft excel and VOSviewer software was employed for conducting the analysis. The findings revealed that the number of publications and citations on the topics has been quiet fluctuating. Analyses of the intellectual and conceptual structure revealed that trans-disciplinary nature of scholarship on the topic. Based on the findings, the needs for a greater emphasis on research in these areas by Indonesian institutions/researchers are realized. It is also suggested that researchers employ an integrated approach by investigating variables from the policy and practice perspectives as well as at an organizational or systemic level. The findings are string support that education is an integral component of achieving equity and inclusion which should be taken into account while devising policies and implementing the same.

School Leadership and Indonesian Culture: Revealing the Local Knowledge Development in Post-New Order Indonesia
(Routledge, 2023-08-11) Bambang Sumintono; Hasan Hariri; Erika Setyanti Kusumaputri
The debacle of Soeharto's regime has opened up reformation and democratisation in Indonesia. Many structural changes like educational decentralisation, school-based management, and principal preparation training have been made in the education sector since 2001. Research on educational leadership and management (ELAM) has also flourished since academicians and researchers were required to meet journal publication requirements in the 2010s. This chapter consists of a systematic review of ELAM research in the Indonesian context that appears in the GARUDA database, a knowledge-based system of journal articles in the Indonesian language. This review aims to describe the Indonesian knowledge development in ELAM reflecting the Indonesian culture of school leadership. After the selection and sorting stages, 119 journal articles published from 2001 to 2021, and written in the Indonesian language, were reviewed. The review found variations in terms of knowledge production, including different type of articles, methodological approaches, leadership theories, school levels, and research topics. The findings indicate that the development of the Indonesian ELAM knowledge base is promising and more productive compared to the previous era, but capacity development is still needed.

Selecting the top artisan woodcraft projects using many facet rasch measurement (MFRM) model
(Atlantis Press, 2024-08-22) Mohd Zali Mohd Nor; Bambang Sumintono; Mohd Shaharul Nizam; Zulkifle Sani
Once a year, the Geng Seni Kayu Kreatif (GSKK – Creative Woodworkers Group) society conducts a competition for budding craft persons to showcase their ideas and skills. The main objectives were two-fold. First is to check if the selected rubrics are suitable. Second was to rank the woodcraft entries, as fairly as possible. 12 items were identified to measure the woodcraft quality aspects. 20 craft entries were randomly rated by three judges. Rasch MFRM model was used to analyze and rank the items and entries. Item mean is 0.46 and reliability is 0.88. Rater reliability 0.98 indicates raters could reliably separate the entries and items. None of the entries were found misfitting. The scale structure did not exhibit disordered Rasch-Andrich thresholds and had good progressive average measures. Only three entries (E13, E16 and E20) were identified with significant bias among raters, due to significant stricter marks given by one of the raters. Overall, this framework rubric is considered useful for judging woodcraft competitions. It provides non, or very little bias on judgement, and allow less time to judge a competition. However higher-order items need to be improved for future competition, to segregate top entries.
