ABSTRACT 

Teachers need to understand students' early mathematical abilities before continuing learning on the next topic 

to retain the knowledge. This study aims to produce appropriate and reliable instruments for quality research 

related to early mathematical abilities. This research implemented R&D. The subjects were 113 sixth-grade 

students of the elementary school in Karawang. The instrument used was a test to measure early mathematical 

ability. Validity and reliability tests indicated that the five initial mathematical ability test items were 

considered valid, with r count > r table and p-value <0.05. The Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.875 (above 0.8 or 

high reliability). Thus, the five items of the early mathematical ability instrument on the volume of cubes and 

rectangular prisms can be used for further research to measure the same variables accurately. The results are not 

significantly different for the same subject even though the time and place are different.

INTRODUCTION 

Mathematics is taught to students to help them organize logical reasoning, display 

personalities, and use mathematics and mathematical reasoning in real-life situations 

(Soedjadi, 2004). Mathematics in schools has its own goals, often meaningless 

manipulation of numbers, while mathematics serves as a means to achieve other goals, 

gives meaning to calculations related to everyday life, as a useful context for 

concentration, and can support persistence (Galla, Esposito, & Fiore, 2020; Rampal, 2003). 

This goal will be achieved if students' understanding of the previous topic is good. Prior 

understanding is very important for students and is a target for the learning process 

(Shabrina & Sumiati, 2020).  

However, mathematics teachers in elementary schools sometimes tend to convey 

material directly without paying attention to students' understanding of the previous 

material. This is evident in studies that found several obstacles faced by teachers. For 

example, when the teacher teaches thematic material in the fourth grade, the acquisition of 

students' knowledge competencies is not optimal; this can be proven by the competence of 

previous knowledge below the Minimum Criteria of Mastery Learning  (Luh, Santiasih, 

Ganing, & Sujana, 2016). Previous understanding will affect how a person is involved in 

the new understanding (Ardiyanti, 2016). Previous understanding can build and develop 

mathematical concepts learned from understanding (Fatqurhohman, 2016). Prior 

understanding can be used to be aware of situations and determine strategies through 

thinking (Salayan & Ariswoyo, 2020).  

In learning mathematics, students need a solid foundation to understand the 

previous material to reach the next level. For example, to understand the topic of the 

volume of cubes and rectangular prisms, students must understand previous topics or 

prerequisites, such as arithmetic operations, area, and perimeter of shapes, measurement of 

units of length and volume, story problems, and other prerequisite topics. The previous 

understanding is referred to as Early Mathematical Ability. Early Mathematics Ability is 

the student's ability to understand the prerequisite material (Yuliyanto & Turmudi, 2020). 

Students who know previous materials could follow and do the next learning (Jamaan, 

Musnir, & Syahrial, 2020; MacDonald & Carmichael, 2018). Early mathematical abilities 

can affect stable characteristics, affecting mathematics achievement over time (Watts et al., 

2017). Students' early mathematical abilities also affect students' mathematical dispositions 

(Noviana, Hadi, & Handayani, 2020). Thus, early mathematical ability is a prerequisite 

ability to support mathematics learning in subsequent topics. 



Yuliyanto, Turmudi, Syaodih, Saputra, Dharmawan, & Pertiwi 129 
 

Previous research related to Early Mathematical Ability stated that the Realistic 

Mathematics Education Approach not only improves mathematical literacy in eighth-grade 

junior high school students with high early mathematical abilities, but also students with 

low early mathematical abilities on statistics topics (Sutisna, Budi, & Noornia, 2018). 

Regarding the interaction of early mathematical abilities with learning, it was found that 

there was no interaction between learning and Early Mathematical Ability in improving the 

reasoning abilities of eighth-grade junior high school students (Ayal, Kusuma, Subandar, 

& Dahlan, 2016). Through qualitative research, the development of students' early math 

abilities could be handled well by not only focusing on early math concepts at home but 

also by focusing on developing learning behaviors, such as engagement, resilience, 

curiosity, and challenge seeking (Kritzer, 2012). The parental reports about the amount of 

children's activity at home predicted the children's performance on standardized early math 

ability tests (Blevins-Knabe & Musun-Miller, 1996). The problem-based learning approach 

had a significant effect on the critical thinking skills of high school students in terms of 

school level and early mathematics abilities (Widyatiningtyas, Kusumah, Sumarmo, & 

Sabandar, 2015). 

Previous studies above have revealed that early mathematical abilities have been 

examined quantitatively and qualitatively for junior high school and high school students. 

It also has been examined based on the parents and related statistics. However, instruments 

for measuring students' early mathematical abilities, especially in elementary schools, are 

limited. Therefore, this research revealed an instrument to measure the early mathematical 

ability of fifth-grade elementary school students on the topic of cubes and rectangular 

prism using the R&D research method. 

A tool is needed to measure students' early mathematical abilities appropriately to 

conduct research or learning mathematics by reviewing students' early mathematical 

abilities before proceeding to the next topic.  Thus, it can be used to determine the 

students’ previous understanding of the topic being taught. That is because to produce 

high-quality research; reliable instruments are needed (Putri, Wahyudy, Yuliyanto, & 

Nuraeni, 2020). An assessment instrument is a tool used to make an assessment or 

evaluation, an instrument can be a test or non-test, and observation can be carried out in 

two ways, namely systematic and non-systematic observation. (Rafianti, Anriani, & 

Iskandar, 2018). The Good instruments meet certain rules, provide accurate data according 

to their function, and only measure samples of certain behaviors. The characteristics of a 

good evaluation instrument are valid, reliable, relevant, representative, practical, 



130 KALAMATIKA, Volume 6, No.2, November 2021, pages 127-142 

discriminatory, specific, and proportional (Siswantari & Maretha, 2020). Furthermore, 

empirical validation is carried out through validity and reliability tests to ensure that they 

can measure the measured variables and produce similar results even though they are used 

repeatedly (Putri et al., 2020). The validation of the research instrument aims to measure 

whether the instrument made is per the measurement assessment by the validator 

(Setyansah, 2020). 

Thus, a good instrument must have validity, namely the accuracy of an instrument 

in measuring the variable to be measured, and reliability, namely the instrument's stability 

in measuring the measured variable repeatedly, at different times and places with the same 

subject. Validity can identify and be useful in determining the management of education 

compared to tests based on theoretical frameworks and other perspectives (Scheuer, 

Herrmann, & Bund, 2019). A valid instrument can estimate the effect of an unbiased 

treatment. However, at the same time, it is not possible to ensure that all the assumptions 

necessary for the validity of the instrument have been met. (Rassen, Brookhart, Glynn, 

Mittleman, & Schneeweiss, 2009). Thus, the validity measurement must be executed 

through logical validity with expert considerations and empirical validity by testing on a 

predetermined sample that is not part of the sample to be studied, at least one level above 

it. Validity can be quantified using Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient (r) 

(McNamara, Hudson, & Taylor, 2010).  

Meanwhile, reliability is measured by determining the Cronbach's Alpha value 

because this study will use an essay-formed test instrument. Cronbach's Alpha is suitable 

for instruments in the form of essays or questionnaires (Yusup, 2018). Reliability can be 

understood as the consistency of test measurements when the measuring procedure is 

repeated (Baumgartner, Oh, Chung, & Hales, 2002; Scheuer et al., 2019). Reliable 

instruments will achieve the same conclusions when applied to the same subjects at 

different times (Fan, 2018). Thus, this research will produce an appropriate and reliable 

instrument to measure the early mathematical abilities of fifth-grade elementary school 

students on the topic of volume cubes and rectangular prisms through validity and 

reliability trial.
   

 

METHOD 

 This research employed the R&D method. R&D is a systematic process to develop, 

improve, and assess education programs and materials (Gall, Gall, & Borg, 2010; Jackson, 

2009). The design used was ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and 



Yuliyanto, Turmudi, Syaodih, Saputra, Dharmawan, & Pertiwi 131 
 

Evaluation). The purpose of this study was to produce an accurate and reliable instrument 

for measuring the early mathematical abilities of fifth-grade elementary school students on 

the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms. This study was conducted because some 

teachers still pay less attention to the extent of students' early mathematical abilities and 

tend to directly continue the topics that must be taught to their students. At the same time, 

the early mathematical ability of students is necessary to be understood by teachers before 

continuing with more complex materials requiring fundamental concepts. Studies 

explained that early mathematical abilities can be in the information of concepts, 

principles, procedures, and facts that a person already has (Nismawati, Nindiasari, & 

Mutaqin, 2019). Sixth-grade elementary school students in West Java were the population 

in this research. The samples were 113 elementary school students in Karawang Regency, 

West Java, selected by purposive sampling. The results of the development of this test 

instrument used to measure the early mathematical abilities of fifth-grade elementary 

school students. The topic developed was related to the volume of cubes and rectangular 

prisms, so students must understand prerequisite topics, including numerical count 

operations, calculating square roots, determining the area of a two-dimensional shape, 

measuring long units, and finally, problem-solving.  

The scoring guidelines in this study were modified from Facione (1994), as 

presented in Table. 

Table 1. Guidelines for Scoring Students' Early Mathematics Ability 
Score Criteria 

4 The solution is explained in full, almost all instructions are followed, the presentation is logical according to mathematical 

concepts, and there are no drawing/calculation errors. 

3 The solution is explained correctly, there are few errors in calculation/drawing, and the presentation is logical. 

2 Solutions are explained incorrectly, answers appear to be trial and error, and the presentation is less logical 

1 The interpretation is incorrect, the answers seem trial and error, and the presentation is not logical 

0 No response 

The development of instruments was carried out based on logical validity and 

empirical validity. In logical validity, by considering three math experts in elementary 

schools based on the accuracy according to the content studied, the accuracy of wording, 

and psychological constructs, a readability test was carried out on students. Furthermore, 

empirical validity is taken by testing it on students who are not research samples, 

specifically at least one level above it, i.e., students in six-grades elementary schools; this 

is because these students have been deemed to have mastered the topic be tested. Data 

analysis using SPSS 25. The validity decision is identified based on the value of the 

correlation coefficient (rxy) and reliability based on the value of Cronbach's Alpha. If the 

sign on the validity test < 0.05 and tcount is positive and > rtable, the instrument is considered 



132 KALAMATIKA, Volume 6, No.2, November 2021, pages 127-142 

valid (Mahendra, 2015). Meanwhile, if the value of Cronbach's Alpha> 0.70 then the 

instrument is accepted, while Cronbach's Alpha> 0.8, the reliability is very good (Wells, 

Russell, Haraoi, Bissonnette, & Ware, 2011). The interpretation of validity and reliability 

is based on the criteria developed by Guilford (1956) in Table 2.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 

Early Mathematical Ability 

It has been explained that the early mathematical ability is the prerequisite ability 

that students have for understanding the next topic. In this research, early mathematical 

abilities were developed to understand the prerequisite abilities of students to study the 

topic of volume cubes and rectangular prisms. The blueprint for the initial mathematical 

ability instrument produced is shown in Table 3.

Students are required to understand several topics at the previous meeting 

developed in this research to understand the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms, such 

as in item 1 about doing arithmetic calculations in numerical count operations with 

problems 8 - 6 x 8: 10 + 2 = ... This problem will encourage students' abilities when 

performing volume calculation operations for cubes and rectangular prisms. Furthermore, 

in item 2 about calculating the square root with the problem √225 x (3√1000 - 3√125) = ... 

This problem will help students when learning the operations to calculate squares and 

cubic on the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms. Furthermore, in item 3 about 

determining the area of a two-dimensional like the problem in Figure 1. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pay attention to the shape above. Calculate the area of the three shapes! In this 

problem, students are trained to discover the area of combined shapes; the questions will 

be useful for understanding the calculation of the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms 

combined. Furthermore, item 4 is about calculating the measurement of length units such 

as 15,000 cm + 15 km x 5 dm - 8 dam = ...... m. This problem will help students remember 

how to modify the unit of length, which will help students how to modify the volume unit. 

Furthermore, item 5 is about solving problem-solving problems such as the following 

questions: Mr. Adi wants to make a terrace on the left and right of his villa with a length of 

7 meters and a width of 5 meters for the left side terrace and the right-side terrace, the size 

of each side is 4 meters. Then how wide are the two terraces? This question will train 

students on story problems in determining the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms, for 

example, in questions of determining the volume of bath water and dipping water. After 

the five instruments were developed, then the instrument validation was conducted. The 

validation of the research instrument aims to measure whether the instrument made is by 

the measurement assessment by the validator (Haryanti & Saputro, 2016; Setyansah, 

2020).

Validity Test Analysis 

The five items that have been constructed through logical validity are then tested 

for empirical validity. Following are the results of the validity trial presented in Table 4.

4 0.809 positive, rcount > rtable 0.000 Very High Valid 
5 0.840 positive, rcount > rtable 0.000 Very High Valid 

Based on the results of the item validity test in table 4, all items have a significant 

value with p-value < 0.05 and all rcount > 0.178 = rtable and are positive so that all items are 

valid with the criteria item 1 is high, and others are very high in terms of the correlation 

coefficient according to (Guilford, 1956). The study said that the instrument is classified as 

valid if it has a positive and significant coefficient < 0.05 (Muhsin, Slamet, & Wahyudin, 

2017; Yusof, Bahari, & Adnan, 2014). It is also known that the lowest correlation value is 

0.730. Meanwhile, the correlation coefficient <0.3 is low, 0.3-0.5 is moderate, while> 0.5 

is high (Tsang, Royse, & Terkawi, 2017). Instruments with a minimum correlation of 0.5 

are considered capable of uncovering important and relevant issues to be observed 

(Masood, Masood, Saub, & Newton, 2014). Thus, all items are considered to measure the 

early mathematical ability of the volume of cubes and rectangular with high accuracy. 

Reliability Test Analysis 

The analysis of the validity test indicates that the five items of the instrument are 

classified as valid and can measure correctly. To discover the instrument's stability in 

measuring the same subject, but at different times and places, a reliability test was carried 

out by determining the Cronbach's Alpha value. The summary of the instrument reliability 

test is listed in Table 5. 

Table 5. Results of Early Mathematical Ability Instrument Reliability Tests  

Cronbach’s Alpha N of Items 

0.875 5 

Cronbach's Alpha value shows the instrument has very good stability. Research 

says that an instrument with a Cronbach's Alpha value> 0.70 can be concluded that all 

statements are reliable and can be used for further analysis (Astutik & Priantono, 2020; 

Bolarinwa, 2015; Lima-Rodríguez, Lima-Serrano, & Domínguez-Sánchez, 2015; Tsang et 

al., 2017). Because the instrument has excellent consistency, the instrument can be used to 

measure variables that are measured repeatedly with similar subjects even though the place 



Yuliyanto, Turmudi, Syaodih, Saputra, Dharmawan, & Pertiwi 135 
 

and time are different. 

Face Validity 

Researchers in this study also investigated the advanced validity of the early 

mathematical ability instruments based on two experts in the field of mathematics 

education in elementary schools. The quality of the instrument is assessed based on three 

aspects such as the suitability of the instrument with the indicators, the suitability of the 

instrument with the material, and the readability of the instrument. Measurement of 

instrument quality using a scale between 1-5. The following is the results of the instrument 

quality assessment based on face validity in Table 6: 

Table 6. Face Validity Results of Early Mathematics Ability Based on Expert Assessment 
No Assessment Aspect Average Criteria 

1 Suitability of the instrument with the indicators 3.5 Worth using/ testing with revision 

2 The suitability of the instrument with the material 4.7 Worth using/ testing with revision 

3 Instrument readability 2.8 Worth using/ testing with revision 

Total Average 3.67 Worth using/ testing with revision 

Based on Table 6, the five items of the instrument, according to the experts, are 

considered suitable to be used to measure early mathematical abilities by requiring some 

improvements. The research revealed that the eligibility criteria for a product were 

observed based on a range of 1-5, namely 1.00-2.33 the product was considered unfit for 

use/tested, 2.34-3.67 the product was considered Eligible to be used/tested with revisions, 

and 3.68-5,00 products are deemed Eligible for use/ tested without revision (Arikunto, 

2012). Reviewing the results of the instrument quality assessment according to the experts 

shows that the five items are considered good enough and deserve to be tested on the 

respondents to measure how well the students' early mathematical abilities are with a slight 

improvement before being tested. An in-depth assessment of an instrument must be carried 

out to find out how appropriate the measuring instrument is in measuring the aspects 

measured when used in the field. Supporting this, before implementation, the product 

developed was assessed for quality first by asking for an assessment from a team of experts 

(Wijayanti, Saputro, & Nurhayati, 2015).  

CONCLUSION 

The development of early mathematical ability instruments related to the volume of 

cubes and rectangular prisms have been consulted with experts and tested on 113 fifth-

grade elementary school students in Karawang. The validity and reliability test showed that 

the five items have good accuracy and reliability in measuring early mathematical abilities 

on the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms and can measure the same variables and 



136 KALAMATIKA, Volume 6, No.2, November 2021, pages 127-142 

subjects at different times and places in subsequent research. Early mathematical abilities 

are considered the foundation for students in studying the topics to be studied, so teachers 

are suggested to understand students' early mathematical abilities before continuing 

learning. To understand students' early mathematical abilities, teachers can use an 

instrument of a test with appropriate aspects and indicators as developed in this study.
