Pelaksanaan Penilaian Formatif Dalam Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Tingkat Tinggi (HOTS) pada Siswa SMP 2 Colomadu Kabupaten Karanganyar

Abstract

Formative assessment is an evaluation process that is carried out continuously to integrate and improve students' abilities in understanding learning materials. This study focuses on the implementation of formative assessment in order to improve high-level learning outcomes (Higher Order Thinking Skills/HOTS) in students of SMP 2 Colomadu. HOTS includes the ability to analyze, radiate, and create, which are very necessary in responding to the challenges of 21st-century learning. In this context, formative assessment is designed to provide constructive feedback to students, so that they can identify strengths and weaknesses in the learning process. Observations of the implementation of formative assessment show that this strategy can help students be more active in critical and creative thinking. Teachers utilize various methods, such as group discussions, providing problem-based questions, and collaborative projects to encourage students to apply their knowledge in depth. The results show that this approach not only improves learning outcomes quantitatively, but also increases students' confidence in solving problems that require high-level thinking.
