Abstract

One of the phenomena that occured as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic in the field of education is learning loss. These conditions must be addressed immediately so as not to cause adverse long-term impacts. This research was conducted in the form of training and workshops to overcome learning loss for elementary school teachers in the city of Padang. In this activity, the teacher is guided to understand and design a diagnostic assessment as a first step to analyze the basic abilities or initial conditions possessed by students. This is useful for planning the next learning process. The results of this activity showed that the understanding and skills of teachers in carrying out diagnostic assessments increased. This activity is one of the community partnership programs that can be carried out by universities in helping elementary school teachers to overcome problems related to learning loss in the world of education.
