Abstract

This research has developed a concept map as a tool for learning evaluation intended to analyze the size of the variance in each element, compare the coefficient of reference summary, compare the exactness when the pattern and number of examiners are different while developing training courses to apply concept mapping techniques for learning assessment and evaluation of training results. The sample in this study is divided into 2 groups: 4 examiners, and 48 students from Rajabhat Rajanagarindra University. The research tool used is an activity plan for the use of conceptmaps for learning outcome assessment, concept mapping evaluation form, quizzes, training assessment. The research results indicate that;


When the examination pattern is different even though the number of inspectors is the same, the Generalizability Coefficient then is statistically different with a significant level of 0.05. When the examination pattern is the same but the number of assessor is different, then the Generalizability Coefficient is statistically different at a significant level of 0.05. The score in all conditions has a high Concurrent Validity and statistically significant difference at 0.05. Training courses in applying the concept mapping techniques for learning measurement and evaluation are the most appropriate for all items. Evaluation results of training courses in applying concept mapping for measuring and evaluating learning outcomes are at a high level for all items except for the knowledge on the topic prior to training which is at a moderate level.
