Abstract

The assessment of learning outcomes applied to the 2013 Curriculumfor Vocational High Schools has various types of assessments that are matched to the learning objectives of each subject. One of the assessments recommended for implementationwasauthentic assessment. By applying authentic assessment, student learning outcomes will show good performance. However, based on the data obtained from in SMK Negeri 1 West Sumatra, student learning outcomes show unsatisfactory results. It is assumed that this occurred due to the application of less than optimal authentic assessment techniques . As a result, , research is conducted to find out (1) how teachers conduct authentic assessments, and (2) what obstacles are experienced by teachers in implementing authentic assessment techniques. In order to answer the research questions, a descriptive research method was used which was conducted from 27 August, 2018, to September 29, 2018. The research information was taken from the vice-principal academic affair, Mechanical Technology teachers , and students from Class X in Mechanical Engineering. The data collection uses interviews, observations and documentation techniques. The data analysis incorporates data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The analysed data has passed the data validity test with member check and data triangulation. The results of the study show that: (1) teachers' knowledge about authentic assessment is quite developed, however there are still many teachers who have not applied the assessment technique to the subjects they teach, (2) The reason teachers do not use authentic assessment techniques is because they think theyrequire design lesson plans and assessment techniques, and take up a lot of their time.
