Abstract

Technological advancements and the demands of pandemic conditions around the world have forced educators to think of solutions in the teaching and learning process so that there are no obstacles, including in the assessment process. Although the focus of learning assessment in Indonesia focuses on literacy and numeracy assessment, the assessment of science process skills is still carried out because the science process skills are the core key to developing children^s knowledge in science, including chemistry. The current assessment process uses more online platforms or is done using virtual tests. The study aims to describe the importance of virtual tests as an innovation in assessing science process skills and explain the design of appropriate virtual tests on chemistry learning to assess the science process skills. The method used is a literature review, which collects journal articles in accordance with the theme, and then the journal article is given a review and arranged into several discussion sections. The result of the literature review that has been conducted is a virtual test design framework that is suitable for assessing science process skills on chemistry. Discussions include an overview of virtual tests, assessing the skills of chemical-specific science processes with virtual tests and how the virtual test design framework assesses science process skills on chemistry that qualify on assessment characteristics (validation, reliability, objectivity, and practicality).
