Abstract

Cognitive evaluation instruments are essential tools for systematically and objectively measuring students’ thinking abilities. This study analyzes two primary types of cognitive assessment instruments objective tests and essay tests by evaluating their quality based on established indicators of validity and reliability. The purpose of this research is to examine how effectively these instruments measure cognitive performance across different levels of thinking skills. This study employs a qualitative research method with a content analysis approach, which involves reviewing, selecting, and analyzing scholarly literature, including textbooks, empirical studies, and theoretical documents related to test construction, validity, and reliability. The content analysis reveals that the cognitive domain encompasses mental processes such as problem-solving, reasoning, and the integration of conceptual knowledge. Written cognitive test instruments generally consist of essay tests (restricted and extended response) and objective tests (true–false, multiple-choice, matching, and completion). The findings demonstrate that the overall quality of cognitive evaluation instruments is largely determined by their validity and reliability, which serve as critical benchmarks for ensuring the accuracy and consistency of cognitive measurement.

Abstract

The implementation of the curriculum at the primary and secondary education levels, namely Elementary School, Junior High School, and Senior High School, has undergone significant transformation through the application of the Freedom of Learning program and the Deep Learning approach. The Freedom of Learning program encourages flexibility in learning, teacher creativity, and student independence in the learning process, while the Deep Learning approach emphasizes in-depth mastery of concepts, critical thinking skills, and the ability to solve complex problems. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the curriculum at various levels of education and evaluate the effectiveness of applying both approaches in improving the quality of learning. The research method used in this study is qualitative descriptive research. Qualitative descriptive is a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words about people and observable behaviors to discover truths that are acceptable to human reason. The data collection technique used is a literature study, where data is obtained from books and previous research journals relevant to the topic being discussed. The results of the study show that the implementation of Freedom of Learning provides space for innovation in teaching methods and increases student motivation to learn, while the Deep Learning approach is able to improve students' overall understanding of concepts as well as their analytical and synthesis skills. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating both approaches to create relevant, adaptive, and quality learning in the modern era of education.
