Abstract: 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.

instruction is implemented by elementary and junior high school teachers; (b)examine the frequency with which the components of self-determination are taught; and (c)investigate whether teachers’ gender, class setting, and teaching experience affect their classroom practices regarding the promotion of self-determination. The participants were 1,039 teachers recruited from elementary and junior high schools nationwide in Taiwan using a random sampling method. The Teaching Self-Determination Scale (TSDS) was used to gauge the extent to which educators teach knowledge and skills related to self-determination. Descriptive statistics, analyses of variance (ANOVAs) and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) were employed to analyze data collected. Findings showed that more than half of the teachers surveyed reported having often or always provided instruction to promote students’ self-determination. The most frequently taught skills are related to Psychological Empowerment (self-advocacy skills, expecting positive outcomes), while the least frequently taught skills were primarily located in the domain of Self-Regulation (goal setting and problem solving skills). Furthermore, our findings showed that teachers’ gender, class setting, and teaching experience were factors attecting the extent to which teachers delivered instruction to promote self-determination. Female teachers exhibited higher levels of implementation with respect to self-determination instruction. Teachers in general education classrooms showed significantly higher levels of applied self-determination instruction, followed by resource room teachers and self-contained classroom teachers. Additionally, teachers with more teaching experiences more frequently employed instructional activities promoting self-determination. Suggestions and implications are provided.
