DefinitionFormative Assessment…
is concerned with how judgments about the quality of student responses (performances, pieces of works) can be used to shape and improve the student’s competence by short-circuiting the randomness and inefficiency or trial-and-error learning.

General IdeasFormative = forming, moldingFeedback is a key element in formative
assessmentFeedback is information about the gap
between the actual level and the reference level of a system parameter,
which is used to alter the gap in some way
Feedback VS self-monitoring

General IdeasFeedback from assessment can
motivate students and redirect their learning towards areas of deficiency,
help teachers improve their coursework and instructional methods.

General IdeasSummative = mandatory, formal and
given at the end of a prescribed period of instruction
Summative = extrinsic rewardsFormative = intrinsic rewardsSummative = How did I do? Formative = How am I doing?

ApplicationFA includes both feedback and self-
monitoringFeedback => self-monitoringAn assessment that ‘does not count’ is
more likely to achieve this aim than one that carries penalty
FA is not limited by the nature of the test or instrument, since any test can serve as formative function
![Page 8: Formative Assessment Applications & Pitfalls. Outline General Ideas Application Benefit & Limitation Pitfalls](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649eef5503460f94bfed7c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ApplicationFA instrument should be identical to, or
closely resemble, the summative instrument
FA should broadly sample the understanding, knowledge, and skills that will be tested at summative assessment
The required performance standards should be made clear and be readily available to students
![Page 9: Formative Assessment Applications & Pitfalls. Outline General Ideas Application Benefit & Limitation Pitfalls](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649eef5503460f94bfed7c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ApplicationFA should not be compulsoryFA opportunities should be provided as
frequently as appropriateFA environment should be open,
supportive, and non-judgmentalFeedback should be as complete and
as rapid as possible

ApplicationWhere appropriate involve student
discussion with their peers and teachers

FA : formal & informal Informal FA ~ no written record of the
information gatheredFA : planned & unplanned (incidental)
Unplanned FA arose from student’s response

LimitationDemands on staffDemand constructive feedbacking skillGot less attentionMisunderstanding: time-wasting and
inefficiency
![Page 18: Formative Assessment Applications & Pitfalls. Outline General Ideas Application Benefit & Limitation Pitfalls](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649eef5503460f94bfed7c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PitfallsGrade & test score are sufficient forms
of feedback Not enough
Teacher should emphasize the summative measures process of learning also
Teacher is the key person It’s a collaborative process
![Page 19: Formative Assessment Applications & Pitfalls. Outline General Ideas Application Benefit & Limitation Pitfalls](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649eef5503460f94bfed7c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PitfallsTeacher tend to overemphasize giving
mark and underemphasize giving advice
No score, no participation Not true
Too judgmental, too threateningToo much memorizingcontinuous SA is enough
Continuous SA = weak FA
