ASSESSMENT AS A MIRROR OF PANCASILA STUDENT PROFILE: Study on the Implementation of the Independent Curriculum in Secondary Schools

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the understanding and assessment practice of Islamic Religious Education teachers at MTsS Ihyaussunnah Lhokseumawe and examine its role in strengthening the character and values of the Pancasila Student Profile. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with informants of PAI teachers and grade IX students. Data was collected through interviews, learning observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The findings of the study show that PAI teachers interpret assessment as an integral part of learning that not only measures aspects of knowledge, but also attitudes, spirituality, and morals of students. The application of diagnostic, formative, summative, and authentic assessments in a reflective and holistic manner has been proven to support the strengthening of faith, piety, noble morals, independence, responsibility, and the values of the Pancasila Student Profile. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening the concept of PAI assessment in the Independent Curriculum as a pedagogical-spiritual instrument to build reflective, humanist, and characterful madrasah learning. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of improving the literacy of PAI teachers' assessments, the development of character-based evaluation instruments, and strengthening the assessment culture that supports the formation of religious, independent, and Pancasila personality students.
