Abstract


Abstract-Various have been made by the Government in an effort to improve the quality of national education which is needed in building the nation and the Republic of Indonesia. However, understanding and how to measure the quality of education that is appropriate and reliable is still a subject of endless discussion. The quality of education nationally is essentially a reflection of the learning outcomes of each student. Therefore, various techniques and forms of assessment are made to obtain student learning outcomes that can be accounted for and can truly describe the abilities of students as a whole. This paper discusses the meaning and techniques of measuring the quality of education.
