摘要：This study is intended to develop a test instrument in testing sign language listening in School-based Assessment (SBA) and to test the effect of using the tests on deaf students. The purpose of this study is also to obtain validity and reliability of the test instrument known as Sign Language Listening Test for Deaf Candidate (IPULDCP). IPULDCP contains six elements namely instrument type, task, task form, item type, presentation mode and scoring method. This study involves the construction phase, the validity and reliability testing phase. It also examines the effect of IPULDCP usage on deaf students. The construction phase is to obtain data through questionnaires to special education teachers to determine the key elements in IPULDCP. The second phase is to obtain value of validity through interviews and written responses from a group of experts/specialists. In measuring the IPULDCP reliability, 40 special education teachers from Perak and Selangor were selected as the study respondents. Five students with hearing disabilities were selected as study samples to assess the effect of using IPULDCP. The results show that instruments of IPULDCP have a good overall content validity of .89 while reliability of the overall IPULDCP is .968. The findings show that the use of IPULDCP effectively measures the test element of communication using sign language compared to the visual test. This study implicates that it can directly develop knowledge in special education in particular assessment instrument among deaf students.
