ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION IN DAILY EXAM (UH) BY
PHYSICS TEACHER IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL (SMA)
PILOTING CURRICULUM 2013 IN MEDAN
Uli Dofa Sirait (ID. Number 4103322021)
ABSTRAC

The aim of this research is to analyze the conformity of assessment
standard implementation in daily exam by physics teacher in some Senior High
School (SMA) piloting Curriculum 2013 in Medan with government standard. To
show is the daily exam that conducted by physics teacher in senior high schools in
Medan accordance with demand of curriculum 2013 and how far physics teacher
have implemented the assessment standard of daily exam (UH) demand to
Curriculum 2013.
The research is using qualitative method with a phenomenology approach
where researcher is the main instrument. Technical data collections are
questionnaires, in-depth interview and documentation. Where questionnaire for
student, in-depth interview for teacher and documentation of teacher file. Total
numbers of subjects or data sources are six schools consist of six persons of

Physics teacher and ten persons of students.
The results of research are the implementation of assessment by physics
teacher is not appropriate with curriculum demanded. Students that teacher
assessed at 76.38% only, it is sorely lacking in the implementation assessment.
That should be perfect to get appropriate and accurate assessment. The results
shown from in-depth interviews of teachers amounted to 69.58%, this is a
strengthening from students’ rating assessing to their teacher in each school were
on average 76.17%. The lower results 52.75% indicated from teachers’
documentation. It is a process of triangulation that researchers did to get the
assessment accuracy of teachers’ assessment standards implementation at every
school. The obtained average data triangulation at 66.24%.Behavior of physics
teacher in concerting and arranging of assessment mechanism is not maximal.
Mechanism and technical assessment that conducted by physics teachers on daily
exam have not changed.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Education is an important role in improving the prosperity of society.
Education will produce reliable human resources (SDM) in managing natural
resources, using technology, and providing services. Human resources (SDM) will be
a valuable asset in developing the nation's progress. Therefore, each state should
identified quality of education as one of the highest national priority. To improve the
quality of education considers changes in the curriculum be one solution to making
education relevant to the demands of globally according to the statement of M.Nuh
(Momod, 2013) that changes the curriculum is the government's efforts to improve
the quality of education in Indonesia
There are strong reasons and obvious foundation when curriculum has been
changing time by time. These changes are encouraged by desire to improve, develop,
and increase the quality of the national education system continuously. The
curriculum is a set of planning and setting the objectives, content and learning
materials and methods used to guide the learning activities organizer to achieve
educational goals (Haryati, 2009). The changes of national education curriculum will
impact to changes some elements contained in curriculum. The elements are
competence of graduates, content standards, process standards, and assessment
standards.
Now, Indonesia is trying to implementation the Curriculum 2013. Graduate
competencies described in three dimensions: (a) attitudes, (b) skills and (c)
knowledge, accordance with the Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan
No.53 Tahun 2013 on Competency Standards for Primary and Secondary Education.
Attitude is part of the affective domain, a domain of psychomotor skills, and
knowledge domain. So the order of taxonomy education curriculum in 2013, is the

2

main attitudes, followed by skills, knowledge as last domain. The attitude should be
promoted first, continue to skills, and the last is the knowledge. In fact, one of
important points in implementation of curriculum which often ignore is the
assessment standard. It is very important part in National Education Standards as
required to improve the quality of education. Therefore, a good curriculum and the
learning process that really needs supported by a good appraisal system, planned and
sustainable.
Three aspects of graduate competencies form the basis of assessment
standards emphasize that task of the teacher is not only to provide information to
students, but also should be a facilitator, conduct learning facilities even be a subject
to determine student achievement. As the most important learning resources in the
school, teacher is very important to improve the standard of education because
efficiency and equity of school depends on the ability of the teacher, human resources
of teacher and motivation to provide the best performance. Teachers as a spearheads
in the implementation of curriculum required to understand and apply it optimally
and earnestly, because teachers also play a role in improving the standard of
education. In addition, teachers also should know how to conduct a valid assessment
to be able to measure student learning outcomes accordance with demands of
curriculum. There are various forms of assessment can be made by teachers to assess
the student learning outcomes, one of them is daily exam (UH). UH is a form of
technical exam which its implementation concerned left to the teacher and activity
undertaken by teacher periodically to measure the achievement of competence after
completing a basic competence (KD) or more. UH used as one consideration aspect
to determine the cumulative value of students’ competence achieve will be presented
on the report. In conduct the valid assessment, teachers must capable to develop
instrument that containing measured dimensions of competency. Assessing the
learning outcomes by educators conducted continuously to monitor the process and
progress of student learning including to improve the effectiveness of learning
activities. In assessing student learning outcomes, teachers must obey and follow

3

assessment standard. Basic assessment and appraisal standards that have been set in
Permendikbud No.66 Tahun 2013.
Research about assessment has been carried out previously by Gultom (2012)
that analyzed physics teachers’ understanding about assessment at several schools in
Medan. Found that in general assessment, that conducted by physics teachers (even
have educators certificate or not) in several SMA in Medan is less accordance with
demands of KTSP, Assessment was conducted without a description of learners’
progress caused the teachers’ understanding about assessment standards very limited,
socialization and guidance rarely added facility factor and students’ interest in
learning is low. Reinforced by the results of research by Handayani (2012) explain
that teachers assessed students tend through objective and subjective exams and
teachers’ low understand about assessment make they concluded assessment just as
examination. Literature studies also show that many teachers are confused and do not
understand, especially in the assessment form of curriculum 2013. In accordance with
what was delivered by Waruwu as Director of Education Training & Consulting,
Jakarta in her journal “Rangkuman Berbagai Pokok Pikiran Seputar Kurikulum 2013”
assessment became a difficult part to be implemented by educators alike with
statement of Rusilowati, Professor of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural
Sciences (MIPA) Semarang State University (Unnes) at Curriculum 2013
socialization during December 2013 in the city of Semarang that some teachers
didnot understand assessment concept actually.
Based on description above, this research wil focused on studying assessment
implementation in daily exam by physics teachers in some piloting schools the
curriculum 2013 in Medan. This research is important because the new curriculum
2013 will be implement in year 2015 to change previous curriculum and need to
know how far the physics teacher in piloting schools have been implemented
assessment standart. If assessment’s mechanism and procedure has implemented
incorrectly and invalid so it produce negative impacts such as students’ assess
administration inaccurate, teacher does not know the level mastery of student, teacher

4

is not able to arrange student’s report progress of learning, teachers do not find
alternative solutions to develop their ability in teaching and learning and finally the
curriculum goal does not achieve.
1.2 Problem’s Identification
1. Teachers only carry out daily exam by tests and measure knowledge
competency only.
2. Teachers do not conduct the intergration assessment among competency of
attitude, skill and knowledge.

1.3 Limitations of the Study
Based on the background problems described above and the identification of
problems that have been described, considering the factors involved in the assessment
standards is very complex, as well as to research more focused, then the problem will
be limited based on the information in the search and the places or schools that will
investigated. This study will be limited as follows:
1. The research do in high school (SMA) in Medan, 2013-2014 academic year.
2. The research do on teachers who teach physics especially in class X.
3. The data will be only gathering from the target schools.

1.4 Problem Statement
Based on the background of the issues, identifying problems, and limitation
issues, the problems in this study can be formulated as follows:
1. Is the daily exam that conducted by physics teacher in senior high
schools in Medan accordance with demand of curriculum 2013?
2. How far physics teacher have implemented the assessment standard of
daily exam (UH) demand to Curriculum 2013?

5

1.5 Objectives
Based on the background of the issues, identifying problems, limitation issues,
and the problems in this study, the objectives of this research can be formulated as
follows:
1. Knowing the congruence of daily exam that conducted by physics
teacher in senior high schools in Medan with demand of curriculum
2013.
2. Knowing how far physics teacher have implemented the assessment
standard of daily exam (UH) demand to Curriculum 2013.

1.6 Advantages of Research
The researchers are expected to be useful for:
1.

Providing information about the uniformity of implementation of
assessment at Daily Exam (UH) that conducted by physics teacher with
assessment standards and curriculum set up by the government at several
senior high schools in Medan.

2.

Increase the researches knowledge about assessment.

3.

Become a motivation for teachers to improve their ability in conduct the
assessment.

53

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1 CONCLUSION
From the above data it can be concluded that:
1. Teacher conduct the daily exam not maximal or not totaly congruence with
demand of curriculum 2013 because some factor such as minimal training or
guiding from the government to arrange the assessment, lack understanding
how to develop and implement standardized assessments and students interest
and motivation to study of physics subjects is still very low.
2. Physic teacher implemented the assessment standart of daily exam in 66.24%
where frailness at some factors like teacher not prepare seriously the
assessment instrument of daily exam, not analyze the result using scoring
guideline, not conduct exact remedi and enrichment, not give personal
constructive command to student.

5.2 SUGGESTION
From the above data can suggest that importance of particular concern
government education department supervisors to provide new information in the
assessment demand to Curriculum 2013 and schools must update the assessment
system so that the onset of improvement that is expected to improve education in
Indonesia.
