Content Validity of Multicultural Learning System Instruments at IAIN Ambon, Maluku

Abstract

This study was aimed to prove the content validity based on the Aiken's V index
analysis and described the steps to prove the content validity of the multicultural learning system
instrument at IAIN Ambon. This research was a development research. The product developed
was a multicultural learning system instrument at IAIN Ambon. Steps for developing the
instrument used by the researchers refer to [1]. The populations here were all students at IAIN
Ambon and the sample determination was non-probability sampling with purposive sampling
technique. [2] explains that the purposive sampling technique is selected based on certain criteria,
in this case the criteria were students who have taken multicultural education courses at IAIN
Ambon. The results showed that: 1) most of the Aiken's index on each item > 0.80 with a very
high validity category, so the validity coefficient was accepted and considered appropriate. It
could be said that the instrument was content valid, 2) the instrument could be used because it
had been fulfilled in substance, construction, and aspects of the language based on the results of
the validity test of Aiken's V.
