Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to test the creative thinking skills of electrical engineering students in programmable logic controller (PLC) programming. The development of creative thinking test instruments is based on six elements that are: intellectual skills, knowledge, thinking styles, creative functions, motivation and the environment. The test instrument for creative thinking skills in PLC programming is in the form of observation items and performance test scores, and was developed based on Bloom's taxonomy in the psychomotor domain. The instrument was tested on 80 students. Measurement data were analysed using the partial credit model. The results of the instrument validation were very good, that is obtaining an average Likert index value of 99.12%. The results of the data analysis show that there are 16 items that are declared fit within the model based on the criteria in the IMS and OMS values. In conclusion, the instrument developed for testing students' creative thinking skills in PLC programming is suitable for that assessment.
