The Implementation of Performance Assessment Through Virtual Laboratory to College Students’ Creative Thinking Skills

Abstract

Recent learning activity is tend to be implemented by guided experiment and there is an absence of further assessment. The aim of this study is to implement the performance assessment through the virtual laboratory to improve college students’ creative thinking skills. This quantitative descriptive research used quasi experimental research method with one shot case study research design. The sample of this research was the college students on academic year 2018/2019 which totally amount 27 students. The performance assessment data was collected by observation instrument which applied during the preparation, implementation, and the presentation of experiment result stages of virtual laboratory learning. The result of the study showed the implementation of assessment on the presentation of experiment result stage for the whole learning materials is higher than in the preparation and implementation stage with the average score of presentation of experiment result is 88.3%. The implementation of performance assessment through the virtual laboratory showed the improvement on each indicator in college students’ creative thinking skills. The highest score was the evaluation indicator with the value of 0.69. It can be concluded that the implementation of performance assessment through the virtual laboratory is able to improve college students’ creative thinking skills, especially at the evaluation indicator

Analysis of Student Learning Difficulties in Plants Physiology Online Lectures During Pandemic of COVID–19

“…This obstacle should be overcome by using virtual laboratories as an alternative to real practice because the learning process takes the form of a fairly interactive science experiment simulation. Practical activities through virtual laboratories are sufficient to increase students' understanding of the material and anticipate real laboratory unpreparedness (Sari et al, 2020). Meanwhile, the difficulties that students sometimes experience are difficulties in understanding the pictures in the subject presented visually in both PPTs and books (57.10%).…”

The Influence of Formative Assessment Methods on Learning Outcomes of Plane Geometry by Controlling Critical Thinking Skills

“…In addition, the application of performance assessment in plane geometry learning will be able to familiarize students to show their performance in all things, whether to solve problems, express opinions, discuss, or give reasons for the answers given (Sa'dijah, 2009). Even the application of performance assessments will be able to improve students' creative thinking skills (Sari et al, 2020). In general, the application of performance assessments can improve the quality of teaching and learning (Salma & Prastikawati, 2021).…”

Kesulitan Siswa Dalam Memahami Konsep Medan Listrik

“…Sains/Fisika bukanlah sekedar bangun pengetahuan, cara-cara pengumpulan dan pembuktian pengetahuan sebab sains/Fisika juga merupakan aktivitas sosial yang menggabungkan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan seperti rasa ingin tahu, kreativitas dan imajinasi (Sari et al, 2020). Oleh karena itu, dalam belajar Fisika siswa harus dapat merasakan bahwa nilai-nilai ini sebagai bagian dari pengalamannya.…”
