Abstract

This research is comparing science virtual and paper-based test in measuring grade 7 students' critical thinking based on Multiple Intelligences and gender. Quasi experimental method with within-subjects design is conducted in this research in order to obtain the data. The population of this research was all seventh grade students in ten classes of one public secondary school in Bandung.

The data was analysed by using paired-samples t test when the data are parametric and Wilcoxon signed ranks test when the data are non-parametric. In general comparison, the p-value of the comparison between science virtual and paper-based tests' score is 0.506, indicated that there are no significance difference between science virtual and paper-based test based on the tests' score. The results are furthermore supported by the students' attitude result which is 3.15 from the scale from 1 to 4, indicated that they have positive attitudes towards Science Virtual Test. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
