Abstract:
The purposes of this research were 1) to analyze the state and problem of assessing the desired characteristics of learners ; and 2) to analyze assess desired characteristics of learner in good practice schools ; and 3) to purpose guideline to assess the desired characteristics of learners congruence with the assessment of the basic education commission. Sample were 1) 1,240 teachers across the country by divided the area of secondary education and schools size 2) 6 good practice schools. 3) 10 scholars of the basic education commission and 10 teachers good practice school. The results of the study found that 1) teachers assessed the desired characteristics of learners complete all eight characteristics and some schools added desired characteristics. There was committee to develop and assess the desired characteristics of learners. Assessment method used the most was observations by using the observation form and a student list form. Period of time to assess and to grad were a semester. There was using holistic rubric with four-level criteria to assess. The problems were found; desired characteristics and indicators were abstract and difficult to measure, the traditional method was used to measure affective domain lack of feasibility to practice, the grad results were not valid 2) 6 good practice schools ; the instrument were assess desired characteristics congruence with guideline of the basic education commission 3) Guideline for assessment desired characteristics of learners, Schools should be establishes a committee to develop and evaluate the desired characteristics of learners, clearly defined functions. Assessment is a systematic, teachers should study the manual that defines of the basic education commission. School should do a school manual and workshops / seminars about measurement and evaluation. Assessment methods should be separately planed to assign desirable characteristics to assess learning strands and activities / programs of schools, Besides schools should identify the assessor clearly. Instruments should be observation, student list and student of work, and assessment time should be during lessons.
