Abstract
This reasearch aimed to develop 21st century student research skill by using assessment matrix and guidance through edmodo. An assessment matrix based on a research skill development framework modified by Venning & Buisman-Pijlmann. The study was using mixed method which combine qualitative and quantitative data. Design of the study was embedded experimental. Research subject used 2 class XI in senior high school that consist of RSD1 and RSD2. Instruments that used were test of logical thinking skill (TOLT), assessment matrix, research skill test, and student response questionnaire. The results showed that the students research skill by using assessment matrix were increased with recurring guidance in edmodo application. There was significant difference of research skill scores between class RSD1 and RSD2. This is accordance with the TOLT results that showed student formal thinking in RSD1 is higher than RSD2. Our finding may aid in reforming 21st century student research skill, particularly in project learning by using assessment matrix and edmodo.
