Assessment of contextual learning in mathematics education

Abstract

Mathematics is a very important lesson to be taught. Mathematics learning is a learning that cannot be separated from the real world. Many methods and approaches to learning are used to better interpret mathematical concepts. One of the lessons that can connect mathematics material with reality is contextual learning. Contextual learning is considered to be effective in use because of its principles that lead students to construct and find their understanding of a mathematical concept. Of course, a good lesson is followed by an appropriate assessment. Authentic Assessment is an assessment related to contextual learning because it is a part of contextual learning. The assessment is carried out for students to assess students' abilities during the learning process. The purpose of this study is to describe (1) contextual learning, (2) its application to mathematics as well (3) assessments used in contextual learning in mathematics. The description of the assessment is described in the following literature review article.
