ANALISIS KESIAPAN GURU MENGIMPLEMENTASIKAN ASESMEN AUTENTIK DALAM KURIKULUM MERDEKA DI MAN 2 LANGKAT

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the readiness of teachers in implementing authentic assessment within the Independent Curriculum at MAN 2 Langkat. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the readiness of teachers at MAN 2 Langkat in implementing authentic assessment was generally good, although some challenges remain. Most teachers have sufficient understanding of the concept of authentic assessment and are motivated to apply it in the learning process. However, there is still a need for further training and support in designing more effective assessment instruments. The implementation of authentic assessment at MAN 2 Langkat has been well integrated into the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. This reflects the school's strong commitment to providing balanced and comprehensive assessments, supporting not only the academic knowledge development of students but also preparing them to become competent individuals ready to face life’s challenges and contribute positively to society. However, challenges such as limited time for designing assessments, insufficient facilities, and the varying levels of understanding among teachers regarding authentic assessment still need to be addressed. With enhanced managerial support, further training, and efforts to overcome these obstacles, the implementation of authentic assessment is expected to run more effectively, supporting the optimal development of students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills.
