The Problems of Performance Assessment of Japanese Language Subjects Based on E-Learning Using E-lingo Platform

Abstract

Distance Learning (DL) implementation began to be mandatory throughout Indonesia as part of efforts to suppress the spread of COVID-19. The implementation with E-learning model is applied in the teaching and learning process from kindergarten to higher education which demands innovative and accessible learning, not limited by distance and minimal obstacles. In this case, the assessment on cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects is considered to be lacking in terms of validity and reliability and an observational assessment cannot be carried out. This study aims to reveal the disadvantages of assessment on psychomotor aspects through E-lingo platform. The task is in the form of videos that are assessed with an analytic rubric. This study employed a qualitative descriptive study with semi-structured interviews on several teachers who teach productive and non-productive subjects. The use of E-lingo platform indicated having some disadvantages, especially its limitations in the number of uploads and the uploaded file types. The advantages of E-lingo platform are that the platform can cover the entire data of students and teachers with details of online time and tasks whether daily tasks, mid-term test, and final test. This platform activity can also be monitored by the school including students and teachers directly.
