Abstract

Chemical literacy test serves as measurement instrument capable of measuring student's understanding of chemical concepts, attitude, and the application of chemistry in life. The measurement of chemical literacy skill requires good test instrument with valid and reliable criteria. Chemical literacy test instrument designing on buffer is done to help students understand chemical literacy-based questions, they are able to understand chemical science, communicate in verbal and writing, and also apply their abilities to solve problems in daily life. The research aims to create the test instrument that could be used to measure the chemical literacy on the topic of buffer and determine the validity of the instrument. The instrument was validated by three lecturers and validation data analysed using the Aikens'V method. Validation result shows that the instrument have valid category. The result indicated that the chemical literacy test instrument that has been created can be used to measure the chemical literacy of students. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
