Abstract

Penelitian dengan pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif ini mengeksplorasi perspektif guru sekolah dasar di Indonesia mengenai tes dan asesmen bahasa secara online. Dengan memanfaatkan kerangka TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) yang komprehensif, penelitian ini berhasil mengkaji cara guru menggunakan metodologi penilaian secara online untuk meningkatkan praktik pembelajaran di kelas. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan wawancara mendalam yang dilakukan terhadap 30 guru sekolah dasar, yang mewakili beragam latar belakang sekolah termasuk sekolah negeri, sekolah swasta, dan madrasah. Analisis atas temuan ini menggarisbawahi kemahiran guru dalam memanfaatkan teknik penilaian digital yang dipandu oleh kerangka kerja TPACK untuk meningkatkan praktik pengajaran berbasis teknologi. Walaupun demikian, studi ini menemukan beberapa permasalahan yang berasal dari keterbatasan teknis dan kurangnya dukungan dari pemangku kepentingan terkait. Penelitian ini mengungkap bagaimana rumitnya mengintegrasikan teknologi ke dalam praktik penilaian pendidikan tingkat sekolah dasar, sehingga memerlukan intervensi yang ditargetkan untuk mengatasi tantangan ini dan mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan teknologi dalam penilaian bahasa. Upaya-upaya tersebut sangat penting dalam mengembangkan ekosistem pendidikan yang diperkaya dan memanfaatkan teknologi sebagai katalis untuk meningkatkan hasil pembelajaran.
