Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic caused the education process in early childhood to be carried out at home by applying online methods. This requires a lot of adjustments from face-toface learning habits, which are currently seen as a source of the spread of Covid-19. This study aims to describe the growth and development of early childhood who are carrying out learning at home by applying the authentic assessment-based online method. Growth and development are divided into six aspects: physicalmotor, cognitive, language, social-emotional, artistic, and religious/moral. This research was conducted in the city of Mataram with the subject of 18 teachers-parents and 90 children aged 5-6 years. Students do online learning at home. Data collection was carried out through authentic assessment with observation and portfolio techniques. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively to get the results. The results of the analysis found that 20% of children developed very well, 38% developed according to expectations, 30% began to develop, and 12% had not developed. It can be concluded that learning from home by applying authentic assessment in early childhood has been able to stimulate children to achieve good growth and development. Learning from home using online methods based on authentic assessment facilitated by teacher-parents can be applied as an alternative solution to the problem of eliminating face-to-face learning in schools.
