Abstract

Authentic assessment is an evaluation approach that emphasizes the active involvement of students in the learning process through contextual and meaningful tasks. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of authentic assessment management in improving student learning outcomes in class XIB MA Nurul Hasan, Maron, Probolinggo. This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 18 class XIB students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and learning outcome tests. The results showed that the implementation of structured and systematic authentic assessment management can significantly improve student learning outcomes. This is evident from the increase in students' average grades in each cycle and increased student engagement in learning activities. Important elements in authentic assessment management include the use of clear rubrics, project-based assessments, portfolios, and student self-reflection. With proper management, authentic assessment can encourage students to think critically, creatively, and take responsibility for their learning process. Therefore, authentic assessment management is very effective in improving the quality of learning and student learning outcomes.
