Development of Authentic Assessment in TVET

Abstract

Assessment is part of the learning process. Assessment helps students to become more knowledgeable, critical, competent and responsive. Through assessment, the teacher can develop the competencies or talents possessed by each student. The competencies expected and mastered by students after the teaching and learning process are competency, attitudes, skills and knowledge. One emphasis in the 2013 curriculum is authentic assessment, where the assessment carried out is not only the end result but also the process during the learning process. Therefore the teacher must know the mechanisms, procedures and instruments for assessing student learning outcomes in accordance with the competencies to be measured. TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) is education and training that provides knowledge and skills for employment. Ratings in TVET must be valid and reliable. Authentic assessment is one of the assessments that can be used in TVET. Authentic assessment can be stated directly. Keywords—assessment; authentic rating; TVET
