Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively examine the forms of learning evaluation instruments and evaluation techniques applied in Islamic Elementary Schools (MI/SD), including the problems and trends in their implementation. The research method used is a literature review by examining relevant national scientific journal articles published between 2017 and 2025. Data were obtained through searching and selecting literature discussing learning evaluation, assessment instruments, authentic assessment, and the use of technology in learning evaluation at the elementary education level. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and qualitatively through content review and synthesis of previous research findings. The results show that the forms of learning evaluation instruments in MI/SD theoretically include test and non-test instruments that assess students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. However, in practice, learning evaluation is still dominated by written tests oriented towards lower-level cognitive abilities. Non-test evaluation techniques, authentic assessment, and formative evaluation have not been optimally implemented due to limited teacher understanding, assessment subjectivity, administrative burden, and the lack of use of standardized rubrics. Furthermore, the use of technology in learning evaluation is growing, but it still tends to replace conventional techniques without significant innovation. This study concludes that strengthening teacher competencies and institutional support is needed to develop more varied, authentic, and appropriate forms and techniques for learning evaluation instruments tailored to the characteristics of MI/SD students to improve the quality of learning processes and outcomes.

Abstract

Character education, especially critical and creative thinking, is very important to develop from an early age, given the low critical thinking skills of Indonesian students based on the results of the PISA survey. This study aims to describe the impact of achievement guidance (Bimpres) in instilling critical thinking skills and creative character in students at SD Muhammadiyah 16 Karangasem. The type of research used is simple descriptive qualitative, with research subjects including 25 students and 1 achievement guidance teacher. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, with data validity tested using source and technique triangulation. The data analysis techniques used included data reduction (summarizing and selecting key points), data presentation (display), and drawing conclusions or verification, which were carried out continuously in the field. The results of the research and discussion show that the Bimpres activities at SD Muhammadiyah 16 Karangasem were successful in instilling critical thinking and creative character in students. The conclusion of this study is that the Bimpres program is effective as a means of strengthening intellectual character, despite facing obstacles in the form of differences in student learning speeds and time constraints. For future development, schools need to implement more effective learning planning, provide continuous motivation, intensively strengthen character, and provide facilities adequate support to maximize students' potential achievements.
