Abstract

Abstract: Implementing formative assessment applications in learning assessment within the Merdeka curriculum can increase teacher proficiency in administering assessments. This study examines the impact of formative assessment applications on teacher competency in Merdeka curriculum learning assessment. This study employed an experimental design with 20 instructors from SMA Muhammadiyah 6 Yogyakarta, separated into experimental and control groups. The experimental group utilized formative assessment applications, whereas the control group relied on conventional assessment techniques. The results indicated that the use of formative assessment applications could substantially improve (p 0.05) teacher competence in Merdeka curriculum learning assessment. The experimental group's post-test mean was higher than the control group's. In addition, instructors consider using formative assessment more effective and efficient. This finding has significant implications for the future development of the Merdeka curriculum learning assessment system.
