Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the ongoing assessment of student learning outcomes. There were three groups of students in this study who used different types of questions. The type of questions used are multiple choices, essays, and true/false. Effectiveness is obtained from the average N-gain score. The results of the product effectiveness test show different results for each type of question. The effectiveness of the ongoing assessment with the type of multiple choice questions and true/false based on the results of the average n-gain included in the category is quite effective. The effectiveness of the ongoing assessment with the type of essay question based on the average n-gain results is included in the less effective category.

Summary

Introduction

In the 21st century, where rapid development of science and technology takes place, everyone will be required to become an individual who is able to compete globally. In such competition, one must certainly have the ability to make it a superior human resource. One of the competencies which characterize superior human resources is highorder thinking skills. Students' critical thinking skills can be improved through assessment of spiritual thinking (Barnett & Francis, 2012). Some questions that can be used to improve students' critical thinking skills are multiple choice, short answers, true-false, matching, sorting and essays (Pradana & Suyatna, 2017)
