Abstract
This study aims to describe the quality of the assessment of Mathematics learning in its planning and implementation, as well as the innovations developed by teachers in the authentic assessment of the Pythagorean Theorem material for class VIII Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs). This qualitative research took the subject of research as many as five Mathematics teachers of State MTs in different Ngawi Regency, East Java with close geographical locations, and had implemented the 2013 curriculum in their schools. Data collection methods are document assessment, observation, and interviews. The technique of checking the validity of the data uses triangulation of data collection techniques, checking members, and adequacy of references. The results of this study: (1) planning an assessment conducted by MTs Mathematics teachers in Ngawi Regency for the Pythagorean Theorem material including writing a simple grid for compiling tests along with written test questions, 60% without scoring rubrics- (2) teachers who conduct process assessments and at the end of learning are 40%, only 10% process assessments, while only 50% at the end of learning- and (3) authentic assessment innovations carried out by MTs Mathematics teachers in Ngawi Regency need to be improved, which is only done by teachers, namely the development of written questions with simple assessment techniques. It is recommended to carry out learning design and assessment simultaneously by determining project assessment, product assessment and performance assessment on the appropriate Pythagorean Theorem material.
