The Programme International for Student Assessment (PISA) has become a tool in determining the quality of education in a certain country. Unfortunately, Indonesian students still have difficulties in solving PISA problems. In an effort to improve students' ability in Indonesia to solve PISA questions, we need to analyze their difficulties in solving contextual problems. In this study, we have developed PISA-like problems by taking into account the contextual environment of students and current Indonesian curriculum. Forty-eight PISA-like math problems in Bahasa Indonesia have been developed consisting of sixteen questions level one, sixteen questions level two, and sixteen questions level three. Then, those PISA-like math problems were used to assess the students’ ability (case study in SMPN 8 Banda Aceh, Indonesia). Our study revealed that the ability of students is very low in understanding the information given in the problems. The students’ ability in the mathematical process and decoding are also quite low. Students should practice the PISA-like problems in the teaching-learning process in order to improve their abilities in PISA.

Student assessment would influence the quality of the graduates produced. However, many assessment strategies are found to inhibit this intention. As such, this chapter proposes a few assessment activities, along with their practical implementation, that may encourage deep learning among students in the learning of management accounting subjects. This chapter reviews previous literature, focusing on the characteristics of effective assessment activities that suit the nature of the Millennial. Five assessment activities, namely test/quiz, case study, field study, simulated enterprise, and classroom activities, are proposed. A questionnaire evaluating the preferences of the students and lecturers on how the proposed activities could be implemented was adapted. The chapter elaborates on the practical implementation of the five proposed assessment activities believed to engage students' learning so they become deep learners. A future research project is also put forth.
