- Penilaian Unjuk Kerja
Contoh instrumen penilaian unjuk kerja dapat dilihat pada instrumen penilaian ujian keterampilan
berbicara sebagai berikut:

Instrumen Penilaian
Sangat Kurang Tidak
Baik
No Aspek yang Dinilai Baik Baik Baik
(75)
(100) (50) (25)
1 Kesesuaian respon dengan pertanyaan
2 Keserasian pemilihan kata
3 Kesesuaian penggunaan tata bahasa
4 Pelafalan

Kriteria penilaian (skor)

100 = Sangat Baik
75 = Baik
50 = Kurang Baik
25 = Tidak Baik
Cara mencari nilai (N) = Jumalah skor yang diperoleh siswa dibagi jumlah skor maksimal dikali
skor ideal (100)

c. Sikap
- Penilaian Observasi
Penilaian observasi berdasarkan pengamatan sikap dan perilaku peserta didik sehari-hari, baik
terkait dalam proses pembelajaran maupun secara umum. Pengamatan langsung dilakukan oleh
guru. Berikut contoh instrumen penilaian sikap
N Aspek Perilaku yang Dinilai Jumlah Skor Kode
Nama Siswa
o BS JJ TJ DS Skor Sikap Nilai
1
2

Keterangan :
• BS : Bekerja Sama
• JJ : Jujur
• TJ : Tanggun Jawab
• DS : Disiplin

Catatan :
1. Aspek perilaku dinilai dengan kriteria:
100 = Sangat Baik
75 = Baik
50 = Cukup
25 = Kurang
2. Skor maksimal = jumlah sikap yang dinilai dikalikan jumlah kriteria = 100 x 4 = 400
3. Skor sikap = jumlah skor dibagi jumlah sikap yang dinilai = 275 : 4 = 68,75
4. Kode nilai / predikat :
75,01 – 100,00 = Sangat Baik (SB)
50,01 – 75,00 = Baik (B)
25,01 – 50,00 = Cukup (C)
00,00 – 25,00 = Kurang (K)
5. Format di atas dapat diubah sesuai dengan aspek perilaku yang ingin dinilai

- Penilaian Diri
Seiring dengan bergesernya pusat pembelajaran dari guru kepada peserta didik, maka peserta didik
diberikan kesempatan untuk menilai kemampuan dirinya sendiri. Namun agar penilaian tetap
bersifat objektif, maka guru hendaknya menjelaskan terlebih dahulu tujuan dari penilaian diri ini,
menentukan kompetensi yang akan dinilai, kemudian menentukan kriteria penilaian yang akan
 digunakan, dan merumuskan format penilaiannya Jadi, singkatnya format penilaiannya disiapkan
oleh guru terlebih dahulu. Berikut Contoh format penilaian :
Jumlah Skor Kode
No Pernyataan Ya Tidak
Skor Sikap Nilai
Selama diskusi, saya ikut serta

mengusulkan ide/gagasan.
Ketika kami berdiskusi, setiap
2 anggota mendapatkan kesempatan 50
250 62,50 C
untuk berbicara.
Saya ikut serta dalam membuat
3 50
kesimpulan hasil diskusi kelompok.
4 ... 100

Catatan :
1. Skor penilaian Ya = 100 dan Tidak = 50
2. Skor maksimal = jumlah pernyataan dikalikan jumlah kriteria = 4 x 100 = 400
3. Skor sikap = (jumlah skor dibagi skor maksimal dikali 100) = (250 : 400) x 100 = 62,50
4. Kode nilai / predikat :
75,01 – 100,00 = Sangat Baik (SB)
50,01 – 75,00 = Baik (B)
25,01 – 50,00 = Cukup (C)
00,00 – 25,00 = Kurang (K)
5. Format di atas dapat juga digunakan untuk menilai kompetensi pengetahuan dan keterampilan

- Penilaian Teman Sebaya

Penilaian ini dilakukan dengan meminta peserta didik untuk menilai temannya sendiri. Sama halnya
dengan penilaian hendaknya guru telah menjelaskan maksud dan tujuan penilaian, membuat kriteria
penilaian, dan juga menentukan format penilaiannya. Berikut Contoh format penilaian teman sebaya
:

Nama yang diamati : ...

Pengamat : ...

Jumlah Skor Kode

4 Marah saat diberi kritik. 100
5 ... 50

Catatan :
1. Skor penilaian Ya = 100 dan Tidak = 50 untuk pernyataan yang positif, sedangkan untuk
pernyataan yang negatif, Ya = 50 dan Tidak = 100
2. Skor maksimal = jumlah pernyataan dikalikan jumlah kriteria = 5 x 100 = 500
3. Skor sikap = (jumlah skor dibagi skor maksimal dikali 100) = (450 : 500) x 100 = 90,00
4. Kode nilai / predikat :
75,01 – 100,00 = Sangat Baik (SB)
50,01 – 75,00 = Baik (B)
