analyze different types of texts and readings. Assessment is also used to identify individual learners'
weaknesses and strengths so that educators can provide special support for these learning,

Function

tasks of the teacher. The four tasks are planning, assessing planning, and providing
guidance. To all components of the learning process activities make a significant
contribution. In connection with this, in the Education Unit Level (KTSP) curriculum, the
function is used as a reference for improving learning process activities, a reference for
determining class progress and graduation, a tool for selecting, a tool for placement, and
a tool to motivate students to learn.
According to Nana Sudjana (in Jihad, 2008: 56) the function of assessment is as:
(a) a tool to determine whether or not instructional goals have been achieved;
(b) feedback for the improvement of the learning process;
(c) the basis for preparing student progress reports to their parents.
Thus the assessment functions as a performance monitor for the learning components to
achieve the expected goals.
