The objective of the research was to describe teachers’ perspectives on authentic assessment as an evaluation tool in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum in grade I of SDN 060925. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research focused on three main aspects: teachers’ understanding of authentic assessment, challenges faced in its implementation, and the impact of authentic assessment on the learning process. The results indicate that teachers understand authentic assessment as a real-world context-based assessment that assesses students' skills and thinking processes. In its implementation, teachers combine authentic assessment with formative evaluations such as quizzes and homework. The main challenges faced include time constraints, diverse student abilities, and the need for technical strengthening in developing assessment rubrics. Nevertheless, authentic assessment has been shown to increase student engagement and motivation, as well as foster more reflective and meaningful learning. This research recommends the need for further training for teachers and the development of contextual assessment tools to support the success of the Independent Curriculum.
