Validitas Instrumen Asesmen sebagai Penjamin Mutu Evaluasi Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam: Kajian Literatur

Assessment in Arabic language learning as a foreign language (Arabic as a Foreign Language) is currently undergoing a significant paradigm shift. This transformation is influenced by the development of digital technology, the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia, which emphasizes flexibility, differentiation, and learning personalization. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aimed at identifying, examining, and synthesizing developments, innovations, methodological approaches, and various challenges in the assessment of the four Arabic language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing, during the period from 2020 to early 2026. The review employed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to identify and analyze relevant literature. The findings indicate a shift from conventional evaluation systems based on discrete tests toward the implementation of Technology-Enhanced Assessment (TEA) and more authentic forms of assessment. The literature synthesis reveals several key findings. First, diagnostic assessment, encompassing both cognitive and non-cognitive aspects, plays an important role in designing differentiated learning within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Second, the development of assessment instruments for Arabic language maharah is increasingly oriented toward measuring higher-order thinking skills (Higher Order Thinking Skills/HOTS). Third, the utilization of Generative AI, including ChatGPT, as well as various gamification-based learning platforms, has introduced new approaches to providing faster, more adaptive, and interactive feedback. Based on the synthesis, the effectiveness of modern assessment is not determined solely by the sophistication of the technology employed, but also by the alignment between technology and pedagogical objectives, the transparency of assessment procedures, and its ability to comprehensively represent learners' communicative competence while maintaining the principles of academic integrity.

Assessment in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) at the elementary school level needs to document students’ knowledge, process skills, and character development continuously rather than relying solely on written test results. This study aimed to develop a flexible portfolio assessment instrument, determine its validity and practicality, and examine its perceived usefulness based on the fourth-grade teacher’s assessment at SD Negeri 075027 Silima Omo. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, comprising Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The participants included three expert validators, one fourth-grade teacher, and 22 students, with 10 students participating in the small-group trial. The resulting product was a printed portfolio assessment instrument comprising seven integrated components. Validation results yielded mean scores of 3.83 for design, 3.75 for language, and 4.00 for evaluation on a four-point scale. The practicality score increased from 62.50% to 93.75%, while perceived usefulness increased from 64.29% to 85.71%. The small-group trial produced a mean portfolio score of 80.80. The instrument was considered suitable for use; however, inter-rater reliability and its effectiveness in improving learning outcomes require further empirical investigation. ABSTRAK Penilaian pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial (IPAS) di sekolah dasar perlu mencakup perkembangan pengetahuan, keterampilan proses, dan karakter murid secara berkelanjutan, bukan hanya berorientasi pada hasil tes tertulis. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan instrumen penilaian portofolio yang fleksibel, mengetahui kelayakan dan kepraktisannya, serta mengidentifikasi kebermanfaatannya berdasarkan persepsi guru kelas IV di SD Negeri 075027 Silima Omo. Penelitian menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model 4D yang meliputi tahap Define, Design, Develop, dan Disseminate. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas tiga validator ahli, satu guru kelas IV, dan 22 murid, dengan 10 murid sebagai subjek uji coba kelompok kecil. Produk yang dikembangkan berupa instrumen portofolio berbasis cetak dengan tujuh komponen terintegrasi. Hasil validasi menunjukkan skor rata-rata ahli desain 3,83, ahli bahasa 3,75, dan ahli evaluasi 4,00 pada skala empat. Persentase kepraktisan meningkat dari 62,50% menjadi 93,75%, sedangkan kebermanfaatan berdasarkan persepsi guru meningkat dari 64,29% menjadi 85,71%. Rata-rata nilai portofolio kelompok kecil mencapai 80,80. Instrumen dinyatakan layak digunakan, meskipun reliabilitas antarpenilai dan keefektifan terhadap hasil belajar masih memerlukan pengujian lebih lanjut.

The article offers a comparative analysis of the concept of pedagogical mastery in Uzbek, Russian and international scholarship and systematises official statistical data on the teaching workforce in Uzbekistan's general secondary education. The study uses a documentary-analytical review, comparative analysis and descriptive statistics; no experimental component was conducted. According to the National Statistics Committee, the number of teachers in general secondary schools grew from 486.6 thousand in 2019/2020 to 577.7 thousand in 2025/2026 (+18.7%), women account for 72.5% of the workforce, and regional differences reach a factor of 4.6. International evidence (Shulman; Hattie; Kunter et al.; Darling-Hammond et al.) indicates that teaching quality depends less on workforce expansion than on the integration of knowledge, practice, personal-value, reflective and digital-methodological components. The author proposes a five-component integrative conceptual model and formulates recommendations for qualitative monitoring of teacher capacity and for the design of professional development

ABSTRACT Introduction Anxiety is central to the psychotherapy process, yet psychotherapists routinely infer a client's anxiety intensity from observable behaviour rather than from formal measurement, with no widely accepted framework to organise which observable markers indicate which levels of anxiety. This exploratory study examined how therapists make such classifications. Method Ninety‐one mental health professionals were randomly assigned to classify 41 text‐described behavioural and physiological markers using either a 5‐level or a simplified 3‐level category system, both derived from an integrated model of state anxiety in psychotherapy. Results Response distributions departed significantly from uniformity for nearly all markers in both formats, and the rank ordering of markers by intensity was highly consistent across formats, suggesting that therapists may share broad intuitions about relative marker intensity. Which markers elicited agreement, however, was far less reproducible, depending substantially on the response format. Convergence also depended on where the agreement criterion was set, declining from 90.2% to 51.2% of markers in the 3‐level format and from 63.4% to 22.0% in the 5‐level format as the criterion rose from > 0.50 to > 0.70. The 3‐level format yielded more classifiable markers at every criterion, although this advantage was not consistent across indices, whereas the 5‐level format elicited fewer ‘Insufficient to Determine’ responses. Markers placed at the highest intensity levels were classified most consistently. Discussion These findings offer preliminary groundwork for research on marker operationalisation, contextualised rating tasks and the development of training materials for psychotherapy process research.

Student engagement positively influences academic achievement, yet instruments suited to the Indonesian cultural context remain limited. This study aimed to develop a valid, reliable, and user-friendly student engagement scale for high school students. Using a quantitative descriptive design, the study involved 295 male and female students aged 15–18 years recruited through convenience sampling. The scale comprised three dimensions: behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. The results showed that the scale demonstrated a good model fit based on the goodness-of-fit indices (χ2/df = 1.60; CFI = 0.966; TLI = 0.962; SRMR = 0.074; RMSEA = 0.045) and good reliability, with Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.844 for emotional engagement, 0.753 for behavioral engagement, and 0.782 for cognitive engagement. The developed scale can be used by teachers, counselors, and educational researchers to identify students’ levels of engagement and inform the development of programs to improve student engagement.
