This paper explores the use of the WikiEducator E-quiz platform as an educational tool to enhance self-assessment techniques applied by distance and open education learners. Anderson’s Model explains six different types of interaction: student-student, student-teacher, student-content, teacher-teacher, teacher-content and content-content. The model has a number of intertwining links with higher order thinking skills—analysis, evaluation and creating—of Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. Most of the learner-participants in this pilot study presented in this paper were privileged to have access to a computer, mobile phone and Internet, that enabled them to access, edit and add content to the E-quiz platform. A review of literature involved two main topics, namely self-directed learning and self-assessment. This study was qualitative in nature and conducted at a university in Ghana. Initially, Bower’s affordances analysis was used to test the efficacy and appropriateness of the WikiEducator E-quiz platform for distance education. The affordances analysis not only assisted in analysing the platform and the tasks to achieve, but also identified the gaps. Learners who used the platform critiqued and reflected on the platform from their own perspectives. Two of the principal author’s colleagues were instrumental in offering their opinions of the platform from a teacher’s lens.

And Performance

This study is aimed at analyzing how summative assessments made by eleventh-grade English teachers reflect Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This was qualitative research that involved 3 English subject teachers in Senior High Schools in Bali, Indonesia. Meanwhile, the object of this research was summative assessment in the form of teacher-made test items for class XI Semester I in the academic year of 2018/2019. The items were analyzed by the document analysis method to determine the extent to which HOTS based on Revised Bloom's Taxonomy was reflected in the teacher-made test. Meanwhile, a one-on-one interview was conducted to obtain data on teacher knowledge about HOTS. The results of this study found that the percentage of HOTS-based teacher-made test items was 5.4% and was still limited to the cognitive level of Analyze (C4). From the results of the analysis, the cognitive levels of students measured were still in Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS). This was due to the fact that teachers did not fully understand the concept of Higher Order Thinking Skills. Furthermore, it was obtained from the interview that there was a discrepancy between the knowledge and performance of the teacher in the assessment. Therefore, teachers especially eleventh-grade English teachers have to learn more about HOTS and join training in developing HOTS-based items.

Changing Times

  In the world of education, it is very common for curriculum changes to be carried out with various considerations in accordance with changing times. In line with changes in the curriculum in Indonesia, the Ministry of Religion also issued a new curriculum written in KMA No. 183 of 2019 replacing KMA No. 165 of 2014 concerning 2013 curriculum guidelines for PAI and Arabic language materials. In KMA No. 165 of 2014 and KMA No. 183 of 2019, it is stated that the basic framework of the Madrasah Curriculum (PAI and Arabic) has been developed on philosophical, sociological, psycho-pedagogical, and juridical basis. Regarding the assessment of PAI and Arabic, KMA No. 183 of 2019, still has some similarities with KMA No. 165 of 2014, among others, assessment objectives, assessment principles, assessment methods, assessment techniques and tools as well as assessment aspects (attitudes, knowledge and skills). However, the highlight of KMA No. 183 of 2019 is the assessment of aspects of knowledge that require higher-order thinking skills or HOTS which has never been discussed at KMA No. 165 of 2014 before. ABSTRAKDalam dunia pendidikan sangat lumrah jika perubahan kurikulum terus dijalankan dengan berbagai pertimbangan sesuai dengan perubahan zaman. Sejalan dengan perubahan kurikulum di Indonesia, Kementerian Agama juga mengeluarkan kurikulum baru yang tertulis dalam KMA No. 183 tahun 2019 menggantikan KMA No. 165 tahun 2014 tentang pedoman kurikulum 2013 materi PAI dan Bahasa Arab. Dalam KMA No. 165 Tahun 2014 dan KMA No. 183 Tahun 2019, disebutkan bahwa kerangka dasar Kurikulum Madrasah (PAI dan Bahasa Arab) telah dikembangkan atas dasar falsafah, sosiologi, psiko-pedagogis, dan yuridis. Terkait penilaian PAI dan Bahasa Arab, KMA No. 183 Tahun 2019, masih memiliki beberapa kesamaan dengan KMA No. 165 Tahun 2014, antara lain tujuan penilaian, prinsip penilaian, metode penilaian, teknik dan alat penilaian serta aspek penilaian (sikap, pengetahuan dan keterampilan). Namun yang menjadi sorotan dari KMA No 183 Tahun 2019 ini adalah penilaian aspek pengetahuan yang membutuhkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi atau HOTS yang belum pernah dibahas di KMA No 165 Tahun 2014 sebelumnya.
