AbstrakKegiatan pelatihan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas penilaian peserta didik sehingga dapat menerapkan otentik asesmen sebagaimana di minta di Kurikulum 2013. Penilaian konvensional cenderung dilakukan untuk mengukur hasil belajar peserta didik. Dalam konteks ini, penilaian diposisikan seolah-olah sebagai kegiatan yang terpisah dari proses pembelajaran. Pemanfaatan penilaian bukan sekadar mengetahui pencapaian hasil belajar, justru yang lebih penting adalah bagaimana penilaian mampu meningkatkan kemampuan peserta didik dalam proses belajar.Penilaian seharusnya dilaksanakan melalui tiga pendekatan, yaitu assessment of learning (penilaian akhir pembelajaran), assessment for learning (penilaian untuk pembelajaran), dan assessment as learning (penilaian sebagai pembelajaran). Dengan kegiatan pelatihan ini diharapkan kompetensi guru dalam bidang penilaian dapat meningkat.Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan dalam rancangan workshop dan pendampingan mulai dari penjelasan tentang pemanfaatan Assessment of Learning, Assessment for Learning dan Assessment as Learning Pada Pembelajaran IPA SMP, melakukan validasi dan uji coba asessment di kelas pembelajaran, dan menerapkan asesmen tersebut dalam seluruh penbelajaran IPA di SMP. Evaluasi kegiatan dilaksanakan baik dari aspek proses (workshop dan pendampingan) maupun aspek produk (melakukan tes kemampuan guru menerapkan asesmen di kelas pembelajaran). Pada tahap implementasi di lapangan akan dilaksanakan dengan cara melakukan kemitraan kolaboratif dengan MGMP IPA SMP di Kabupaten Magelang, Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Kata kunci: Pelatihan guru, Assessment of Learning, Assessment for Learning, Assessment as Learning. Assessment Of Learning, Assessment For Learning And As Learning Assessment Training In Smp Learning Learning In MGMP, Magelang DistrictAbstractThis training activity aims to improve the quality of student assessment so that they can apply authentic assessments as requested in the 2013 Curriculum. Conventional assessments tend to be carried out to measure student learning outcomes. In this context, assessment is positioned as if the activity is separate from the learning process. Utilization of assessment is not just knowing the achievement of learning outcomes, rather what is more important is how assessment can improve the ability of students in the learning process. Assessment should be carried out through three approaches, namely assessment of learning (assessment of learning), assessment for learning (assessment for learning) , and assessment as learning (assessment as learning). With this training activity it is expected that teacher competency in the field of assessment can increase.These service activities are carried out in the design of workshops and mentoring starting from the explanation of the use of Assessment of Learning, Assessment for Learning and Assessment as Learning in Junior High School Science Learning, validating and testing assessments in learning classes, and implementing these assessments in all Natural Sciences learning in SMP . Evaluation of activities carried out both from the aspect of the process (workshops and mentoring) and product aspects (testing the ability of teachers to apply assessments in learning classes). At the implementation stage in the field, it will be carried out by collaborative partnership with MGMP IPA SMP in Magelang Regency, Central Java Province.Key words: Teacher training, Assessment of Learning, Assessment for Learning, Assessment as Learning

In music education, current attention to student-centered approaches for learning affects our understanding of student assessment. This view to curriculum reform requires new perspectives for assessment. There is a need to move beyond the summative use of assessment to assign grades to examining the roles of assessment in supporting and enhancing learning. To this end, multiple roles of assessment are examined under three headings: (1) assessment of learning, (2) assessment for learning, and (3) assessment as learning.

Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALGains) is a Web-based instrument for measuring student perception of their learning in a variety of courses. The authors adapted this instrument to measure students’ achieved proficiency in analyzing cases in an advanced business communication class. The instrument showed that students did achieve a high level of proficiency and that they did so equally in both traditional and online classes.

In formal schooling, testing/ or assessments are always done on entry, and on exit of the student. Assessment during entry is  carried out to assess the entry behaviour of a student, while the on-exit assessment is conducted to know how well students have achieved on the learning objectives. This means that assessment of a student has always had a strong foundation in the ‘hands of the teacher’.  Having taught, a teacher understands the students than any other assessor or evaluator. However, this is not the case in most countries, more so in the developing world, where students’ testing/assessment has always been done by the national examination bodies, a thing which terminates the teacher’s role in student’s assessment, hence hindering sincere evaluation of learners. Mr. Obama describes such a situation as teachers forced to spend their academic years preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests (Cody, 2011). This Obama comment implies that teachers should be given authority in a substantive manner towards a more balanced method for evaluating students learning and achievement. In this paper therefore, I describe the need for a teacher’s autonomy in testing and or assessing students’ performance [school assessment] versus the national examinations organized by the national examination body under the ministry of education..

This study proposed two modules for the course Modalities and Assessment for Learning in PB-DALS. The 4As strategy on teaching as suggested in Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory served as its core design. As such, it follows the Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and Application phases of lesson episodes. Its contents, on the other hand, are reflective on the results of the findings reported as regards modalities and assessments of learning employed by the ALS programs implementers across diverse groups. These modules are deemed useful for teachers of PB-DALS, ALS programs implementers, and policy makers of the ALS. Taking things holistically, it is suggested that said modules be subjected for validation.

Assessment is a central feature of teaching and the curriculum. It powerfully frames how students learn and what students achieve. It is one of the most significant influences on students’ experience of higher education and all that they gain from it. The reason for an explicit focus on improving assessment practice is the huge impact it has on the quality of learning’.1‘Students should realize that assessment can be an opportunity for learning, rather than just something to be endured and suffered’.2'Institutions should ensure that appropriate feedback is provided to students on assessed work in a way that promotes learning and facilitates improvement'.3DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/seajph.v4i1.21847 South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.4(1) 2014: 72-74
