Abstract

The achievement of learning objectives can be measured through an exact and precise authentic assessment. Hence, it is important to perform an authentic assessment that is ideal following the curriculum. As the implementation process, it is needed to evaluate to perceive if there are lacks and obstacles encountered by the teacher and then find the solution. This article was prepared to review three evaluation results related to the implementation of authentic assessment in thematic learning in several elementary schools. The evaluation results reviewed include journals issued in authorized journals. The method used a systematized review of the evaluation results. A review is done by identifying, assessing, examining the success of the program, and providing suggestions on some of the evaluation results. The results of the review show that the implementation of authentic assessment in thematic learning in elementary schools has not been fully carried out ideally and according to the curriculum. Some of the contributing factors are the teacher’s shortage of understanding in preparing assessment instruments and the process of practicing them in learning. Inputs and recommendations related to the implementation of authentic 2013 curriculum assessments in primary schools will then be discussed in this article.
