Abstract

Purpose of the study: To describe the implementation of authentic assessment of literacy and numeracy based on local wisdom in elementary schools in Ternate City and to assess the influence of authentic assessment standards based on local wisdom on improving the literacy and numeracy skills of elementary school students in Ternate City.

Methodology: This study used a mixed methods approach. The subjects were students from SDN 1, SDN 2, SDIT Nurul Hasan, and SDIT Fathul Munir. The subjects were 200 fifth-grade students, with 50 students from each school. Data collection techniques included classroom observation and local wisdom-based activities. Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data, and descriptive statistical analysis was used.

Main Findings: Authentic assessment based on local wisdom in Ternate has not been fully integrated into literacy and numeracy learning practices. Several effective strategies emerged from teachers' use of local wisdom-based literacy and numeracy learning: counting numbers using the Ternate language, students interviewing market vendors, and then conducting mathematical measurements during buying and selling activities at the local market.

Novelty/Originality of this study: Focus on integrating local wisdom (Ternate's cultural heritage) as a context for authentic assessment. Develop assessment instruments that are specific and relevant to the daily lives of students in Ternate City. Address the gap between authentic assessment theory and practice in areas rich in local culture and contribute to culturally equitable and contextualized educational policies and practices.
