Class Assessment, Problems in Learning Physics in Senior High School

Abstract

The ability to conduct classroom assessment is one of the competencies that must be possessed by the teacher. The implementation of class assessment should be able to record students' activities during the learning process. Nevertheless, The implementation of the class assessment is applied at the end of the learning process, so student learning outcomes on the learning material that have been delivered during the learning process cannot be described completely. Identification of the problems of class assessment in learning physics at senior high school was made to find the solutions in an effort to improve the quality of assessment during the process and results of learning physics. The research method was used as a descriptive qualitative. The technique of data collection was carried out using questionnaire instruments conducted in April 2019. Respondents included 71 senior high school physics teachers in the province of Lampung. The results showed that only 17.1% of teachers knew and applied the assessment during the learning process. Based on the results of the study, it can be identified that the teacher has problems in applying classroom assessments, including the lack of understanding of the teacher in applying the assessment during the learning process, lack of trained teachers in carrying out the assessment and having no assessment instruments.
