The validity of the instrument was content validity which was obtained through the consultation with experts (expert judgment). The inter-rater technique was used to test the reliability of the instrument with Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Normality test and homogeneity test were performed as the analysis of the test. Kolmogorov-Smirnov was used to test normality and Levene test was used to test homogeneity. Data analysis technique used was One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Scheffe test supported by SPSS 16.0 for windows program.
