The Measurement of Student’s Achievement by Applying Pre-Test & Post Test in Basic Listening

(A Comparative Analysis in Basic Listening Subject)

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis between pre-test and post-test with the support of ICT media in deploying the test rather than a paper-based test. Infrastructure development and affordable price of computer appliances have supported the development of teaching material delivery in the digital era. The research covered 61 participants with 46 students from P1 and 17 students from M1; who are registered in the Basic Listening class. During the normal classroom activity, pre-test and post-test were conducted to get the data. The first data obtained from the pre-test consists of P1 and M1 classes in total numbers. 75.77 as the average score was obtained from the P1, with a maximum score of 93.75 in total. On the other hand, for the M1 class, the average score is 76.22, with a maximum score of 91.25. The conclusion of this study proves that the implementation of pre-tests is possible to continue in the future. The results supported by the application of ICT media in the test’s delivery supported more administrative documentation, which eases more time and efficiency than paper-based tests. The conclusion of this study proves that pre-testing is possible to continue in the future.
