Development of Authentic Assessment in Local Wisdom-Based Reading Learning

Abstract

This study aims to establish a reading learning evaluation model based on local wisdom. This type of research is development research that refers to the ADDIE (analyze, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) development model. The study subjects were conducted at two junior high schools with 65 students and 4 Indonesian teachers. The data collection techniques used in this study are tests, interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The results obtained through the preliminary research show that there is no evaluation model for reading learning and the materials used are still based on Indonesian books. Based on preliminary research, a real evaluation model of reading learning based on local wisdom is established. The feasibility of the assessment guide is assessed through materials/content, language, and presentation. Validation results from materials and learning experts included 88% for content feasibility, 87% for language, and 85% for presentation. Meanwhile, linguists’ evaluations of products included 88% in content feasibility, 85% in language, and 86% in expressiveness; while media experts include the image/graphic aspect by 85%, the language aspect by 86%, and the display aspect by 85%. The results of the analysis of teacher response data amounted to 84% with a positive category and student response of 80.70%. From this, it can be concluded that it is very feasible to develop a product based on the real evaluation model of reading learning based on local wisdom. The implication of the application of authentic assessment to student learning outcomes, in general, is a change in behavior for the better, students become more active and creative in the teaching and learning process.
