Abstract:

The objectives of this study is to investigate the effect of multiple choice scoring methods Number Right Elimination Testing (NRET) and Formula Scoring (FS) toward chemistry learning outcomes by considering students’ risk taking attitude. The study was conducted in SMAN 13 Kota Bekasi. Samples of this study were 40 students of XI grade in Science Program Class during second semester of the academic year 2015/ 2016. The samples were selected by simple random sampling technique. The method of this study used an experimental method. While the design of the study used treatment by level 2x2. Data collection was conducted by measuring students’ risk taking attitude and students’ chemistry learning outcomes. The hypotheses of study were tested using two way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result show that: (1) there are differences chemistry learning outcomes between students who are treated with multiple choice tests using Number Right Elimination Testing (NRET) scoring method and Formula Scoring (FS) method, (2) there is an interaction effect between scoring methods on multiple choice tests and risk taking atittude toward chemistry learning outcomes, (3) there are differences chemistry learning outcomes between students who are categorized as risk seeking and treated with multiple choice tests using Number Right Elimination Testing (NRET) scoring method and Formula Scoring (FS) method, and (4) there are differences chemistry learning outcomes between students who are categorized as risk averse and treated with multiple choice tests using Number Right Elimination Testing (NRET) scoring method and Formula Scoring (FS) method.
