Nada Ali Ambusaidi Ahmed Hamad Al-RabaaniPages: 496-503
This study investigates the effectiveness of using virtual museum in teaching social studies for the development of eighth grade students’ achievement and attitudes towards archaeology. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a sample of 60 females, comprising one experimental and one control group (each consisting of 30 students). The experimental group was taught by virtual museum, while the control group was taught by the traditional method. The data was collected by administering an achievement test with thirty questions and a 43-item attitudinal scale. The validity of these instruments was checked by a panel of judges and reliability was examined using Cronbach’s alpha: (.712) for the test and (.891) for the scale. The results showed significant differences (α=0.05) between the means of the groups in favor of experimental groups in achievement test and attitudes towards archaeology and towards using museum in teaching. The study thus indicates that the use of virtual museums is beneficial in providing a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

Puji İman NURSUHUD Warsono Supahar Rio Sandhika DARMAPages: 543-554
The study was conducted to developthe vector representation ability test items for seniorhigh school students and obtain Item Curve Characteristics (ICC). Grid test instruments are arranged based on competencies and vector representation indicators which are then used to compile items. The test instrument consists of five question items related to vector representation which includes drawing vectors, determining the magnitude and direction of vectors and performing vector operations. The validated instrument was piloted in 296 students from three schools in Batang Regency, Central Java. Politomus data were analyzed using the QUEST program for classical analysis and PARSCALE 4 for modern analysis theory based on Partial Credit Model (PCM). The results of the data analysis of the trial itemsindicate that of the five item questions, only 4 questions were fit with PCM. The reliability of the test instrument is 0.72, the level of difficulty of the items is in the range of 0.79 to 1.35. The information function and Standard Error Measurement (SEM) show that test items are developed reliably to measure the vector abilities of students with the average category in -1,6< θ<+3,2 logit scale with SEM ± 0,5.
