An Item Analysis on English Summative Test for Second Grade Students
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This  introduction  chapter  presents  background  of  the    study,  statement  of research    problems,    objectives    of    the    research,    significance    of    the    research,  scope and  limitation  of the  research,  and definition  of  key terms.
A.    Background  of the Research
Evaluation  is  an  important  part  of  every  teaching  and  learning experience.  It  gives  big  contribution  for  the  teaching  and  it  provides information about the students‟ progress which can be used by the teachers to manage  the  learning  task  and  students.  As  stated  by  Dicksin  et  al  (1992:3): “Evaluation  is  important  for  the  teacher  because  it  provides  a  wealth  of information  to  use  for  the  future  direction  of  classroom  practice,  for  the planning  of  courses  and  for  the  management  of  learning  tasks  and  students”. Evaluation  also  can  be  said  as  the  process  to  make  desirable  decision  toward teaching  and  learning  based  on  the  information  that  has  been  collected, synthesized,  and  reflected  on.  Lyle  F.  Bachman  (1990:22)  states,  “Evaluation can  be  defined  as  the  systematic  gathering  of  information  for  the  purpose  of making  decision”.  
Depending  on  the  decision  being  made  and  the  information  a  teacher needs  in  order  to  inform  that  decision,  testing  often  contribute  to  the  process as  the  implementation  of  evaluation.  Surely,  a  test  is  one  kind  of  evaluation???????????
