Abstract

This research is based on a need analysis which finds the phenomenon that conventional learning models are considered not effective enough in developing students’ learning potential to the fullest and various kinds of problems related to problems made by lecturers, most of which only come to measuring low-level thinking and problems cognitive mastery skills with the tools and test instruments used. This study aims to create a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) test model using an expert system as a test measuring tool for students’ ability to think, namely Higher Order Thinking/HOT which consists of 3 levels, namely low, middle and high. This research is a Research and Development research with ADDIE method. The data that is processed after the application of this model came from lecturers and students as respondents. The results of the practicality test of this study were 87.5 which were categorized as very practical. It can be concluded that the CAT test model is more effective than the conventional model in testing student competencies in higher education. The result of this study is the application of the CAT test model based on the Expert System as a tool for measuring the ability of Higher Order Thinking/HOT in supporting a practical partial assessment of learning outcomes (Assessment of Learning/AoL).
