Doing Formative Assessment in Classrooms.
Abstract
A growing body of research evidence across the world shows that formative assessment is one of the most effective classroom strategies for improving student learning (Black & William, Inside the black box: Raising standards through classroom assessment, 1998). Classroom assessments can be educative when they are used not merely as instruments to judge student performance but also to measure students’ learning levels for scaffolding and directing their subsequent learning. Such ongoing formative assessments that are seamlessly integrated with the teaching-learning process play a nurturing role in students’ lives. Formative assessments also take away the undue stress and anxiety caused by high-stakes summative testing.
