Abstract
The role of design as problem solving cannot be separated from the ability of students in the design thinking process. Design thinking is one of the methods in carrying out the design process. Design thinking is a problem-solving method that focuses on the user or user. So that in the process of solving this design problem, design students, especially Graphic Design students, should carry out the stages of design thinking for the work design process. The measurement of design thinking ability is in the form of a written exam (test) in order to get a standardized assessment. The purpose of this research is to describe the development of an instrument of design thinking test for Graphic Design students. The design thinking test instrument consists of 30 multiple choice questions. After the questions were completed. The question was validated by five experts. The results of content validation to five experts were analyzed using CVR. The question was then tested on 30 Unesa Graphic Design students. The results of each question item were tested for validity through the Rasch model with the STATA Program and ConQuest. To test the reliability of the instrument using Conbarch Alpha. The result is CVR scoring between 0.5 and 1. Alpha Reliability value exceeds 0.8811. For the total item correlation test, the results vary from -0.0391 to 0.4656 while the INFIT MNSQ value of the Rasch model starts with a value of 0.5 to 1.3. It is concluded that the written test assessment instrument is empirically valid so that the design thinking skills assessment instrument is feasible to use.
