Abstract
This study investigates the psychometric properties of Students' Perceived Teaching Practices (SPTP) scales from the PISA 2015 dataset, focusing on a cross-cultural comparison between Indonesia and the Netherlands. By employing Mokken Scale Analysis (MSA), a non-parametric item response theory method, this research evaluates the internal structure, scalability, item and scale score, and item difficulty order of these scales across the two countries. Findings indicate that while the SPTP scales exhibit a generally similar structure, significant differences exist in scalability, item and scale score distribution, and item difficulty order, with the Netherlands demonstrating more robust psychometric properties. These disparities highlight the influence of cultural and geographical diversity on students' perceptions of teaching practices. The results emphasize the need for culturally responsive approaches in international educational assessments to ensure valid and equitable comparisons. This study underscores the challenges and considerations essential for adapting educational measurement to reflect diverse educational systems and cultural values, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of cross-cultural variations in student perceptions. Keywords: PISA 2015, Mokken Scale Analysis, psychometric properties, teaching practices, cross-cultural comparison, Indonesia, Netherlands.
