Abstract:
This research aims to improve learning outcomes through the implementation of portfolio
assessment in learning, which physics-based on guided inquiry, and secondly to describe the
students’ response to the model is done in two cycles of learning. The location of this research is
SMPN 33 Makassar City Class VII C sample of a population of 4 classes. Indicators used in this
study were firstly) improving student learning outcomes based cognitive competence, competence
affective, psychomotor competency and secondly) students’ response to the application portfolio
assessment. Data were collected through observation, tests, questionnaires and interviews, and
then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that ; The application portfolio assessment in
this physics-based inquiry guided learning can improve student learning outcomes. This was due
to an increase in the acquisition of student learning outcomes on cognitive competencies with
good qualification at cycle I and II; an increase in the acquisition of student learning outcomes in
affective competencies with good qualification cycle I and II; an increase in student learning
outcomes in psychomotor competency with good qualification cycle I and II. In addition. The
response of students to the application of portfolio assessment in this physics-based learning
guided inquiry is very positive.
