Abstract

This study is an attempt to get a standardized instrument to reveal the potential ability of gifted and talented children. The purpose of this study was to produce a measuring tool for locate potential gifted and talented children. Samples of this research is student academic achievement in elementary school with school characteristics featured are 14 primary schools in Java and Sumatra, as many as 430 students. The results of this study are: (1) The result of the content validity measuring instrument indicates that the instrument has met the validity of the content.(2) The legibility test results show that all children have been able to understand and know well from the use of language, content and intent of questions. (3) Construct validity of test results showed that all items instruments have demonstrated high validity. (4) Concurrent validity of test results showed that the instrument has a high categories correlation with IQ test. (5) Predictive validity of test results showed that the instrument has a high correlation with the value of learning outcomes. (6) Internal consistency reliability of test result indicates that the instrument has the reliability and reliable in measuring the potential gifted and talented children. (7) Reliability test results with retest reliability instrument indicates that the instrument has a degree of test scores consistently over time. (8) Index of discrimination of test result has levels of varying difficulty, in which groups of children above class has an average value of about higher compared to average about lower class. (9) Index of difficulty test result indicates that the instrument has a difficulty level that is not balanced the proportion of questions for the category of being larger than the proportion of questions for the category of difficult and easy. Instruments limitations there are several things: (1) Working time in this instrument requires considerable time; (2) Imbalance about every aspect; (3) The cost of testing is quite expensive.
