Abstract

This research used quantitative descriptive approach. It aims to analysis the quality of
instruments test include validity, reliability, difficulty level and index of determinant to develop
tests of critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills of prospective pre-service biology
teachers on marine ecology theory. The test used instrument consisted of 2 type namely question
descriptions and two tier multiple choice. There were two test of validation, namely content
validation and empirical validation. The results of content validation concluded the question tests
that feasible to be used with improvements. The results of empirical validation show that the ten
items are valid question descriptions category and two invalid categorized questions. Where as
instrument test twenty-three of two tier multiple choice valid in categories and four invalid
categorical questions. Question descriptions instrument test used reliability analysis using
Cronbach Alpha r11 = 0.73 (high). Instrument test two tier multiple choice used KR-20 r11 =
0.83 (very high), therefore the instruments test made are suitable for implementation in marine
ecology. The average value of high order thinking skills for the question descriptions instrument
test achieved by students was 26, while the two tier multiple choices instrument test 28. The
highest value of the description questions instrument test achieved by students is 56 and the
lowest score is 3. The highest value of two tier multiple choice questions instrument test achieved
by students is 56 and the lowest score is 11. It shows that the ability of high order thinking skills
of students is still lacking.
