DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT ON BASIC PHYSICS PRACTICUM

Abstract

Basic Physics is one of the courses supported by practicum activities to increase students' understanding of the material presented in lectures. So to support the achievement of practical activities, an assessment is required. Where the assessment developed is the Performance Assessment is expected to make lecturers to improve the quality of assessment on the Physics Basic lab. Performance assessment is an assessment done by observing the activities of students in doing something. This assessment is suitable for assessing the competency achievement that requires students to perform certain tasks such as laboratory practice in accordance with the demands of the syllabus. This study aims to develop a Performance Assessment on a valid Physics Basic exercise. This study uses the development of the Plomp model which goes through the following stages: (1) preliminary research, (2) prototyping phase, and (3) test and assessment Phase. At the phase prototyping phase is done performance assessment design on the Physics Basic lab. Performance assessment that has been designed and then validated by 2 validators. Validation results obtained 85.17 with valid categories
