This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of alternative assessment in developing critical thinking skills in Biology learning at junior high school level. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach involving 64 junior high school students divided into experimental and control groups. Data collection techniques include critical thinking skills tests, portfolio assessment, self-assessment, and observation. Data analysis was performed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The results showed that the application of alternative assessment methods such as performance assessment, portfolio, and project-based assessment significantly improved students' critical thinking skills compared to conventional paper-and-pencil tests. The experimental group showed an increase in critical thinking skills of 42.3% and Biology learning achievement of 31.5%, while the control group only increased by 12.1% and 14.2% respectively. This innovation offers an effective alternative in developing higher-order thinking skills and making Biology learning more meaningful for students.
