Abstract

Curiosity is a scientific attitude that must exist in every student. The scientific attitude is a dimension that must be raised, especially in science learning, in an attitude of curiosity. However, what happens in schools in science learning activities, teachers have not been able to maximally measure the extent of the curiosity that exists in students. This study aims to determine the feasibility of an assessment instrument to measure students^ curiosity both theoretically and empirically. This research is a research and development with a 4D model (define, design, development, disseminate). Participants involved in this study were 64 students and 2 expert validators. The data collection technique used in this research is theoretical validation and empirical validation. Data analysis used V-Aiken analysis and item statement analysis used the SPSS 26 program. The results of this study indicated that the instrument for measuring students^ curiosity was declared feasible, valid, and reliable both theoretically and empirically. the instrument already represents the indicators of curiosity used in this study, namely enthusiasm in finding and finding answers, enthusiasm for the science process, exploring information from various sources, actively asking questions, and trying to understand concepts well.
