The evaluation process in the learning of explanatory texts in Junior High Schools (SMP) is an essential component for measuring students' understanding of structure, linguistic rules, and logical thinking skills. Explanatory texts serve to explain natural, social, or scientific phenomena in a systematic and sequential manner. Appropriate evaluation not only affects students' learning outcomes but also assists teachers in designing more effective teaching strategies that can be tailored to the abilities of the students. This article aims to analyze various evaluation methods, the challenges faced, and the solutions that can be implemented to improve the quality of learning. The methods used include authentic assessment based on processes and evaluation instruments relevant to the curriculum. The research findings indicate that a formative assessment approach, the use of clear rubrics, and the provision of constructive feedback can enhance students' skills in writing explanatory texts. Thus, appropriate evaluation in the learning of explanatory texts can encourage deeper understanding among students while simultaneously improving the quality of teaching at the junior high school level.
