Analysis of Indonesian Mathematics Teachers' Ability in Applying Authentic Assessment

The 2013 curriculum implies the use of authentic assessment that emphasizes on the assessment of students' readiness aspects, processes and students' learning outcomes as a whole. The integration of the assessment of the three components will demonstrate the students' capacity, style, and learning achievement. It is important for mathematics teachers to have the ability to conduct assessments of learning and to utilize the results of those assessments for the purposes of mathematics learning. This study aims to: (1) analyze the profile of the ability of the mathematics teachers in carrying out the authentic assessment, (2) find out the profile of the mathematics teachers' ability to apply authentic assessment results, and (3) know the constraints of the mathematics teachers in developing the authentic assessment. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method involving junior high school teachers in Yogyakarta Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires and triangulated with documentation and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results show that the ability of the junior high school teachers in Yogyakarta in applying and using the results of authentic assessment was relatively good. The teachers used authentic assessment information to design remedial and enrichment programs. This study also reveals that the teachers still experienced difficulties in developing authentic assessment instruments.

Good mathematics learning is supported by various essential components in its implementation. One of them is the availability of quality mathematics teachers. The Indonesian government has undertaken various ways to improve the quality of education by improving the quality of teachers (Sumintono & Subekti, The success of mathematics learning cannot be separated from teacher role as the main controller of the learning process, for example how the mathematics teachers conduct an assessment of mathematics learning.

Therefore, to increase the quality of the teachers' ability in using authentic assessment, there is a need to undertake a professional development program such as training and workshop involving those three aspects.
The results showed the teacher's ability to develop assessment instruments was also good enough.

Though the assessment results are also important for the evaluation of learning materials that have been implemented. While the ability of teachers in analyzing the assessment results are still not good. This can be caused by teachers who only take the value only without evaluating or following up on the assessment results.

It can be interpreted that the teachers need to optimize to the use of the results of the assessment to be a powerful tool in developing student learning. For example, the results of the assessment can be used as an evaluation material in the learning, whether there are still students who have not understood on certain materials.

Finally, this study reveals that the implementation of the authentic assessment does not always run smoothly as teachers might experience problems. Developing the assessment instruments such as rubric and how to analyze the results of the assessment with rubrics are often complained by teachers. The role of the assessment rubric according to Montgomery's LV WKDW DVVHVVPHQW UHVXOWV are made to integrate assessment with instruction and open collaborative approaches between students and teachers in teaching and learning process.

Furthermore, the results of the assessment rubric can be written in the VWXGHQW SRUWIROLR WR ¿QG RXW WKH H[WHQW RI VWXGHQW progress in the learning process.
The main and most important reason why teachers implement changes in the assessment is to get an overview of the level of achievement of the curriculum objectives, the success of the OHDUQLQJ PHWKRG DQG WKH DFFXUDF\ RI WKH VHOI assessment practice.
