Abstract

This research is aimed at finding out the cognitive level of the state SMP teachers toward the concept of classroom-based assessment. The sample respondents were 297 English teachers taken from 11 cities/regencies within Riau Province. The procedure of the research was administered by inviting them to give an opinion through a set of questionnaire containing statements on cognitive aspects towards the concept of classroom-based assessment. This kind of data collection is known as Context, Input, Process and Product (CIPP) created by Stufflebeam et.al (1971). Data analysis was calculated in descriptive method using SPSS Version 11.5, that is, by describing the percentage, min score as well as the standard deviation. Data calculation described that the lowest min score was 3.2949 with the standard deviation 0.63; while the highest one was 3.5539 with the standard deviation 0.53. As a result, the average min score was 3.4244 with the standard deviation 0.5866. Based on this calculation, it could be concluded that the cognitive level of state SMP English teachers within Riau Province towards the concept of classroom-based assessment was in ‘mediocre’ level, particularly, on the aspects of ‘introduction’, comprehension’, ‘application’, ‘analysis’, ‘synthesis’ and ‘evaluation.’
