Abstract

General Background: In the era of the Merdeka Curriculum, authentic assessment has become pivotal in promoting real-world application of knowledge. Specific Background: Particularly in economics education, developing critical thinking is essential due to the complexity of economic phenomena. Knowledge Gap: While existing research explores either authentic assessment or Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), studies rarely integrate both within a specific subject context at the secondary level. Aims: This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and impact of HOTS-based authentic assessments on students’ critical thinking skills in economics. Results: Employing a descriptive qualitative method involving teachers and students at SMAN 1 Gerung, the findings indicate that while the cognitive aspects of assessment are systematically planned and implemented, the affective and psychomotor domains remain underdeveloped due to time and technical constraints. Novelty: This research introduces a context-sensitive assessment model tailored to economics education, incorporating HOTS indicators (C3–C5) and addressing local classroom challenges. Implications: The study provides practical guidance for educators to design assessments that cultivate analytical and reflective thinking, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive teacher training and systemic support to optimize critical thinking development.Highlight : Teachers systematically design HOTS-based authentic assessments to improve students’ analytical and evaluative skills. Implementation focuses mainly on cognitive aspects due to challenges in assessing affective and psychomotor domains. Students showed moderate improvement in critical thinking, signaling the need for broader instructional support.

Abstract

In the context of education reform in Indonesia, curriculum innovation at the elementary level remains crucial to address local needs while aligning with national standards. Specifically, Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Insan Kamil in Tumpang, Malang, has adopted a Grass Roots curriculum development model to integrate Islamic values with contextual learning. However, limited studies have examined the practical application and broader educational impact of this model within Islamic elementary schools, especially its relevance to global educational discourse. This study aims to explore: (1) the design of curriculum development using the Grass Roots approach, (2) managerial strategies in its implementation, and (3) institutional goals in applying the model. The results reveal that the approach empowers educators and communities collaboratively, emphasizing project-based learning that integrates core subjects with local wisdom and Islamic values. The novelty lies in its ability to bridge national curriculum standards with contextualized religious and cultural content, offering a distinct model of grassroots-driven education. This has implications for enhancing student engagement, strengthening local identity, and promoting sustainable, practical learning. The study recommends stakeholder collaboration and improved resource access to optimize this innovative curriculum model in Islamic elementary education. Highlights: Empowers community and educators through collaborative curriculum design. Integrates Islamic values with project-based and contextual learning. Enhances student engagement and promotes sustainable local education. Keywords: Grass Roots Model, Curriculum Development, Madrasah Management, Contextual Learning, Islamic Education
