relinquishing habits using traditional paper-based
assessment. This age factor also results in each
teacher having different speeds and abilities in
understanding the use of the curriculum 2013
application.
The researchers also conducted an interview with
teachers of SD Negeri 49 Palembang which is located
at Jalan Brada Burhanudin, 2 Ilir Palembang on
January 26, 2018. SD Negeri 49 Palembang is also
one of the new primary school which enacted the
implementation of curriculum 2013 in 2017/2018. SD
Negeri 49 Palembang has 12 study groups; each class
from grade 1 to grade 6 has 2 study groups, with a
total of 20 teachers. Difficulties are much complained
by the teachers at SD Negeri 49 Palembang is about
the understanding of Core Competence and Basic
Competence. Teachers have difficulties in how to
teach, assess and fill in report cards based on the
application of the curriculum 2013. For authentic
assessment, the teachers only understand but to apply
them and adjust to the demands of the curriculum
2013 is still confusing. In carrying out authentic
assessments, teachers need a lot of time and effort to
create assessment instruments. The senior teachers
are still assessing students even in the middle and at
the end of the semester, whereas the authentic
assessment is an ideal performance assessment
ideally given by the teacher at each face-to-face
meeting in class.
The teachers of SD Negeri 49 Palembang also
experienced difficulties in processing the score into a
final report. In the end the teachers’ experience,
especially for class IV, V and VI when they have to
deposit the score to the homeroom because the work
that should be done within one semester must be
completed within one day or one week. Although they
have received training, but teachers feel the material
is still abstract. Some teachers still have difficulties
on understanding the guidelines on applying the
curriculum 2013 even though they have already
attended previous training.
In order for all teachers understand the assessment
of the Curriculum 2013 and how to use the
Curriculum 2013 assessment application, the
guidance module is needed in the form of Curriculum
Application Training Module 2013. Module is a set
of teaching materials that are presented
systematically so that users can learn with or without
a facilitator. In this case, the module as a teaching
material should be able to explain the use of appraisal
application Curriculum 2013 well and easily
understood for teachers independently, with or
without the help of facilitators.
1.1 Module Development
The module is basically and systematically organized
with language that is easily understood by learners
according to their level of knowledge and age, so that
they can learn independently (Prastowo, 2015). Thus,
a module should be used as a teaching material as a
substitute for teachers’ function. If the teacher has a
function to explain something then the module should
be able to explain something with a language that is
acceptable to learners according to the level of
knowledge and age. Modules can be developed in
various ways including a) adaptation, the learning
material developed on the basis of books on the
market; b) compilation, the learning material
developed on the basis of books on the market,
scientific journal articles and pre-existing modules; c)
writing by yourself, the most ideal module
development. For teachers, lecturers or widiaiswara
write their own modules used in learning is to prove
himself as a professional. Modules can be arranged
in the following structure (a) module title, this section
contains the module name; (c) general instructions,
this section contains an explanation of the steps to be
taken in the learning process, including (1) basic
competence, (2) subjects, (3) indicators of
achievement, (4) references, (5) learning strategy, (6)
sheet learning activities, (7) instructions for readers to
understand the steps and learning materials, (8)
evaluation; (b) module material, This section
provides a detailed explanation of the material
presented at each meeting; (c) evaluation, aims to
measure competence according to the given material
(Prastowo, 2015); (Indonesian Ministry of National
Education); (Directorate General of Quality
Improvement of Educators and Education Personnel
of the Ministry of National Education, 2008).
1.2 Training
Training is defined as an attempt to improve the
performance of employees in their present work or in
other jobs that will be held soon. Training is a short-
term educational process using systematic and
organized procedures, in which non-managerial
personnel learn knowledge and technical skills for a
particular purpose (Directorate General of Quality
Improvement of Educators and Education Personnel
of the Ministry of National Education, 2008).
1.3 Assessment of Curriculum 2013
According to Sudjana (2006) assessment is an action
or activity to see the extent to which instructional
