This study aims to develop an instrument used to assess the researching skills of students in the youth scientific community in an authentic research program. This study used 4D model learning device development method consisting of define, design, develop and dissemination stages. During the define stage, a content and construction validity test was conducted on the research skill questions and then the construction of test questions was developed and revised. The given trial was analyzed by internal validity and reliability. The results of this study were a set of research skills test instruments consisting of 7 aspects of researching skills; Identifying the problems, Formulating the problems, Formulating hypotheses, Making research designs, Collecting data, Analyzing data, and Making conclusions; which is adapted and modified from the Willison & O'Regan's research skills development assessment matrix (RSD). That result was developed into 10 questions to measure the aspects of research skills which were presented in the discourse context regarding the problem of tofu factory waste. The results of the expert validation and trials showed that the ten questions were valid and reliable. Accordingly, the results of this study recommend the use of this test instrument for research in measuring research skills in authentic research programs. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..
