Abstract
This study is part of the development of a Physics Adaptive Test designed to assess the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of eleventh-grade high school students. In this section, the objective is to evaluate the content validity of the test instrument. The developed instrument consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on the levels of understanding higher-order thinking skills. In addition, this instrument was evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively by three experts, with the assessment covering the following aspects: 1) Alignment of questions with HOTS indicators, 2) Appropriateness of the stimulus provided in relation to the questions, 3) Clarity in the formulation of questions, 4) Clarity and accuracy in problem descriptions, 5) Logical consistency and homogeneity of answer choices, and 6) The capacity of the instrument items to measure HOTS indicators was evaluated. This study uses a descriptive analysis method to validate the instrument using the Aiken Formula. Content validation data were collected from three physics experts. From the results and analysis, it can be concluded that the 20 items in the Physics Adaptive Test instrument designed to assess HOTS in eleventh-grade physics students are considered valid.
