The Effectiveness of Ongoing Assessment on Physics Learning in Improving Students Critical Thinking Skills

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the ongoing assessment of student learning outcomes. There were three groups of students in this study who used different types of questions. The type of questions used are multiple choices, essays, and true/false. Effectiveness is obtained from the average N-gain score. The results of the product effectiveness test show different results for each type of question. The effectiveness of the ongoing assessment with the type of multiple choice questions and true/false based on the results of the average n-gain included in the category is quite effective. The effectiveness of the ongoing assessment with the type of essay question based on the average n-gain results is included in the less effective category.
