- Abstract
The existing literature shows that new curriculum reforms always bring about emotional tensions of teachers as curriculum implementers. However, the real challenges are not so much discussed by previous studies which only seek to understand the perspectives and particular features of the assessment. Employing narrative case study qualitative design, the study documented in this paper draws insights of the challenges of implementing authentic assessment encountered by six English teachers of secondary school in West Java, Indonesia. The obtained data from observations, interview, and document analysis were all analyzed using thematic analysis model in relations to the concerns of this study. The result of analysis demonstrated that the teachers experienced typical challenges of implementation covering student related issues, time and effort consuming, validity issue, reliability issue, resource administration, evidence transformation, and subjectivity. These findings could inform teachers, policy maker, and future researcher to take possible actions on what and how to do next in order to enhance the practice of assessment in Indonesia.
