Abstract

Assessments that are generally carried out by teachers usually only focus on cognitive aspects, whereas assessments of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects also need to be carried out. This study aims to develop a performance assessment instrument. Performance assessment is a form of authentic assessment that aims to improve learning and provide constructive feedback to teachers and students. Although it has many benefits, performance assessments are rarely carried out by teachers during learning due to the teacher's limitations in creating performance assessment instruments. Performance assessments can be in the form of product assessments and practice assessments. The research method used follows the PRISMA guidelines, namely by selecting articles from Google Search and Google Scholar. The results of the study showed that out of 121 articles, 9 articles met the criteria for further review. In conclusion, research on the development of performance assessments, especially in the field of chemistry, needs to be further developed. This has implications for the need for more effective developmental performance assessment instruments, especially in Indonesia, so that they can meet the needs of the current education curriculum.

Abstract

For a student to gain a deeper understanding of concepts in chemistry, they need to learn concepts at three levels of representation: macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic. The three levels of representation of information are crucial for developing critical thinking skills. But the textbook, which is the main learning resource, plays a vital role in helping a student relate concepts at the three levels. The objective of this research was to assess the display of carbohydrate representation at three levels in ten general chemistry textbooks. In order to examine 120 visual representations, this research employed qualitative content analysis, with five criteria developed from the work of Gkitzia et al. (2020). Criteria C1-C5 include the following: type of representation (C1), interpretation of surface characteristics (C2), relationship to text (C4), presence and nature of captions (C5), and level of correlation between elements that comprise the different representations. Thirdly, the usefulness of the proposed criteria was compared to chemistry textbooks. The results showed that there was a dominance of representations at the symbolic level. Moreover, some of the representations were found to have insufficient subtitles to give meaning, especially at the submicroscopic level. The conceptual understanding of students can be impaired by the dominance of symbolic representations and the absence of visual support for other levels. To ensure that critical thinking is done effectively, this study stresses the need to develop learning materials that incorporate the three levels of representation in a balanced manner. These five criteria can also be used to analyze existing school textbooks and to design new Chemistry textbooks.
