The Determinants of Indonesian Students’ Reading Performance: An Analysis through PISA Data 2015 Wave

This study investigates the determinants of Indonesian students’ performance of reading proxied by plausible value (PV) of reading provided by OECD PISA. The PISA 2015 data is used to answer this research question. A multivariate linear regression is used; as the dependent variable is PV of reading, while the information concerning student’s background is used as independent variables, i.e., student’s personal characteristics: age and gender; family background: index of economic, social, and cultural status as well as ICT possession at home; and classroom’s climate: perceived feedback from teacher. Result shows that all determinants but student’s age are significant at the level of 5%. Several tests to examine the classical assumptions, such as normality of the residuals, test for heteroscedasticity and collinearity are performed. According to these tests, no severe problems occur. (Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kinerja membaca siswa Indonesia menggunakan nilai plausibel (PV) dari data PISA 2015 yang disediakan oleh OECD. Regresi linear multivariat digunakan dengan PV membaca sebagai variabel dependen. Variabel independen meliputi karakteristik siswa seperti usia dan jenis kelamin, latar belakang keluarga seperti indeks status ekonomi, sosial, dan budaya, kepemilikan TIK di rumah, serta iklim kelas yang diukur melalui umpan balik yang dirasakan dari guru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua faktor, kecuali usia siswa, berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja membaca pada tingkat signifikansi 5%. Uji asumsi klasik termasuk normalitas residual, heteroskedastisitas, dan kolinearitas tidak mengidentifikasi masalah yang signifikan).
