Several previous research showed that students had difficulty in understanding the concept of transformation. Students are more likely to be introduced by using formula, and their learning is separate from the daily experience of students. This underlies the researcher to design a learning trajectory of learning transformation and to connect it with experience-based activities. The purpose of this research is to design of hypothetical learning trajectory in learning translation using motif of Anyaman Bambu as a starting point or learning context. The method used in this research is Design Research with three-step that is preliminary design, design experiment, and retrospective analysis. Design Research is a research method that has five characteristics, namely interventionist nature, process oriented, reflective component, cyclic character, and theory oriented. The subjects in this research were several samples of student_s class VIII junior high school. Data collection techniques used.....

Many facet Rasch measurement (MFRM) is a type of measurement application that aims to perform analysis of multiple variables that potentially influence results of a test or outcome measure. A facet is a component with a systematic contribution to the variability of the measurement error. Linacre (1989) created the technique as an extension of the Rasch model to model the consistency of judges/raters in rating performances. The purpose is to provide a step- by step guide for practitioners on how to conduct an MFRM analysis in FACETS software using real data. Keywords: FACET, Many facet Rasch Measurement, Rasch, measurement, Rasch application..
