Development of Assessment for the Learning of the Humanistic Model to Improve Evaluation of Elementary School Mathematics

This research aims at finding the way to develop the assessment for learning of the humanistic (AfL-H) model in Mathematics at elementary schools. This is developmental research of the Hopkins & Clark model. The experimental subjects are 67 mathematics teachers and 375 elementary students in Grade. The data were analyzed in two stages using qualitative and quantitative methods. The experiment of the AfL-H model uses repeated measures analysis. The research results indicate that the AfL-H model developed here has the following main characteristics: 1. the learning provides greater fairness and respects all (learners), and 2. The assessment respects each student's varied abilities based on their own abilities. Several findings in this research are: (1) students receive greater respects regarding the abilities they have in the assessment; (2) the information obtained using the AfL-H model is accurate and as actually needed by students, (3) the application of the AfL-H model in mathematics learning improves student's motivation, confidence, self-awareness, behavior during learning, and ability in Mathematics, and (4) students' learning progress is shown by individual and class profiles.
