USE OF INTRANET FOR CBT-BASED ASSESSMENT (COMPUTER BASED TEST) AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

Advances in information and communication technology have had a major impact on various aspects of life, including the education sector. One important innovation in this field is the implementation of Computer-Based Test (CBT) for assessment. The CBT system offers a number of advantages, such as time efficiency, increased assessment accuracy, and ease of data management. On the other hand, the implementation of CBT requires a strong infrastructure, one of which is an intranet network. This study aims to understand how intranets can be optimized in the implementation of CBT assessments, identify the benefits and challenges that arise, and provide recommendations for better implementation. This research method uses existing and trusted literature or references to be analyzed and the results are used to solve the problems being studied. Zed in Kartiningsih's research (2015) said that the literature study method is a series of activities related to the method of collecting library data, reading and recording, and managing materials. The data for this study were collected through direct observation of the implementation process of CBT-based assessments at SMA Negeri 6 Pontianak. Next, to complement the observations and interviews, the researcher did was to record and view documents to analyze the implementation process of CBT-based assessments. The results of the study indicate that the use of intranet in CBT assessment can improve operational efficiency, strengthen data security, and provide flexibility in accessibility. However, challenges such as the need for adequate infrastructure and competent technical expertise still need to be addressed. Recommendations from this study are expected to contribute to educational institutions in optimizing the use of intranet for CBT assessment and provide direction for further research in the future.
