Keywords:

This study was aimed at identifying the problems faced by the teachers in designing and implementing authentic assessment in science for Junior High School and Senior High School in Bali. The sample consisted of 73 teachers of Junior and Senior High School in Bali. The instrument used to collect the data in this study was a questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire were followed up with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) by involving selected teachers. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results show that 1) there is a lack of understanding about NOS and its implication in science teaching, 2) limited understanding on the part of the teachers about authentic assessment, 3) lack of science laboratory facilities to support practicum/inquiry activities, and 4) lack of internal and external supervision related to authentic assessment.
