Research paper thumbnail of The Development of a Lexical Knowledge Test: Assessing Lexical Knowledge of Indonesian High School Students using the Cattel-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory of Intelligence

This study attempted to construct a lexical knowledge measurement, called Tes Pengetahuan Leksikal (TPL), as one of the Narrow Abilities in the CHC theory, so that it could be administered in a group and serve as a reference for senior high school students in selecting a major. This lexical knowledge measurement was administered to 104 students (Mage=16.01; SDage= 4.67). Initially, this measurement contained a set of 40 items, divided into synonym and antonym sections. Eventually, it was reduced to 20 items through a psychometric item analysis. The reliability testing resulted in the score of α = .65. Items in this measurement varied in difficulty and were able to discriminate individual levels of lexical knowledge. Distractors within each item were well-performed and distributed evenly among false choices. This measurement correlated positively and significantly with TIKI-M's subtest 3 with r = .286, which indicated that the TPL was a valid test for measuring lexical knowledge. Scores from this measurement could be interpreted using a scaled score (M = 10, SD = 3) method.
