Formative Assessment
Formative assessment, formative evaluation, formative
feedback, or assessment for learning, including diagnostic
testing is a range of formal and informal assessment procedures
conducted by teachers during the learning process in order to
modify teaching and learning activities to improve student
attainment.
Techniques for formative assessment
1. Response cards-
these are either pre-printed or write on cards . preprinted cards have
responses on them such as “yes” or “no”. Write on cards allow students
To indicate their responses in real time
2. Hand signals-
examples are “thumbs up” means “I understand AND can explain it”,
“thumbs sideways” means “I’m not completely sure about..”, “thumbs
down” means “I do not understand”
3. Games-
 SOCRATIVE –
It is a classroom-engagement app that provides games
and other activities for students. A favorite element is “space
race” which can turn an assessment into a gamified experience
between individuals or groups
 KAHOOT-
It is a mobile application that allows teachers to construct
homework assignments almost as though they were video
game-type quests. The app also has feature where teachers can
write their own games and make them available to students
with an access code.
 QUIZLET-
This app allows educators to convert data gathering into a
gamified form that they can use to inform their teaching
practice.
 QUIZZIZ-
 This lets teachers monitor the results of student’s work as
they do it. The app lets students progress at their own pace
throughout the game.

 QUIZALIZE-
It provides the same kinds of quizzes and assessments as
other similar tools, but it also lets you track the work of
individual students at a granular level.
 PLICKERS-
This formative assessment tool uses a series of abstract
cards that the teacher photographs using a mobile device. The
program then analyzes the data and presents the teacher with
individualized reports of student success.

SELF ASSESSMENT IN FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

A increasing trend in formative assessment is self-assessment. Self-assessment is
aligned with the principle of learner agency which means that learning involves the
activity.and the initiative of the learner, more than the inputs that are transmitted to
him/her by the teacher .
With learner agency, are self-regulated learners who engage in self-monitoring and
self-evaluation. Self-regulated learners continually monitor their progress toward
the learning outcomes. Self-regulated learners determine whether they attined the
intended learning outcomes which they have made as their very own learning

outcomes.

So it is best that students get actively involved to assess their own learning to
determine how they are progressing. This can increase their self-confidence and
motivation to learn.
SCORING RUBRICS AND FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
In formative assessment, teachers give feedback. These feedbacks are made more
specific when they are based on rubrics which enumerate the creteria and describe
the expected student’s performance (process and product). Scoring rubrics
especially analytic rubrics are, therefore, a good framework for feedback.
(brookhart, 2013). Analytic rubrics are of great help to students in assessing their
own progress.
