ABSTRACT

Fitriani. 2015. S891308016. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT IN ENGLISH INSTRUCTION BASED ON CURRICULUM 2013. A case study at the tenth grade of SMA Tunas Bangsa Aceh Barat Daya in the academic year of 2014/2015. Thesis. Surakarta. English Education Department of Graduate Program of Sebelas Maret University. Thesis Consultant I: Prof. Dr. Sri Samiati Tarjana; Thesis Consultant II: Dr. Hersulastuti, M. Hum This study aims at: (1) describing the implementation of authentic assessment in English instruction based on curriculum 2013, (2) figuring out the difficulties in implementing authentic assessment in English instruction based on curriculum 2013 and (3) yielding the solution used by the teacher to overcome the difficulties in implementing authentic assessment in English instruction based on curriculum 2013. This study applies a case study method which had been carried out at the tenth grade of SMA Tunas Bangsa, Aceh Barat Daya in the academic year 2014/2015.The data were collected through interview, observation and documentation and validated by using triangulation and member checking method. The data were then analyzed by using the interactive model of Miles and Hubberman. The result of the study revealed that SMA Tunas Bangsa Aceh Barat Daya utilized Permendikbud 81a Tahun 2013 as the primary guideline in implementing authentic assessment in curriculum 2013. Particularly, the English teacher administered oral monolog test as the performance assessment, descriptive written test as the portfolio assessment, and assigned students to produce a tourism brochure as the project assessment. However, the complex assessment procedure, managing the classroom assessment activities and scoring the students’ tasks were the main difficulties in enacting this assessments. To overcome the problems, the teacher maintained annual communication with students concerning the assessment system, organized the tasks orderly and adjusted the scoring instruments to the level of students’ English proficiency and the school condition. SMA Tunas Bangsa Aceh Barat Daya has been implementing the authentic assessment as directed in curriculum 2013. However, the English teacher still experienced some constraints during instructional activities so that the assessment process did not run effectively. Therefore, the English teacher is expected to extend her insight, creativity and dedication to improve the quality of the assessment. The curriculum coordinator is recommended to increase the coordination between teachers to create more effective assessment management. Keywords: implementation, authentic assessment, curriculum 2013
