Furthermore, geometrical measurement has been introduced to pupils since the first year of primary school and is assessed in international and public examinations.

Therefore, this study is conducted to develop an assessment framework and Geometrical Measurement Skills Instrument (GMSI) to assess Year Five pupils’ geometrical measurement skills. GMSI was developed by applying SOLO Taxonomy in the super item format, that emphasizes the hierarchical level of complexity of the items in order to ensure that the instrument covers both surface and deep level items. Data from 500 pupils were collected and analyzed quantitatively using Rasch analysis to examine the psychometric properties, profile the items in GMSI and identify the gender differences. 20 pupils were purposively selected for the qualitative analysis using thematic analysis to validate the assessment framework and identify the error patterns. The results revealed that GMSI met the psychometric properties, and the assessment framework's descriptors appeared to agree with the pupils' responses, indicating that GMSI is valid and reliable. 2022-07 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/59142/ http://eprints.usm.my/59142/1/SITI%20NUR%20ANNISA%20BINTI%20MOHD%20NASSER%20-%20TESIS%20cut.pdf application/pdf en public phd doctoral Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Ilmu Pendidikan
