Present and Future Formative Assessment Practices
Thu, April 3, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 121CSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
While formative assessment is of great value in enhancing student learning, its objectives and content are not well defined. In this structured poster we will elaborate on several different aspects of formative assessment by exploring its present definitions by experts and those in the classroom and a description of formative assessment research on current practices in the national and international context. Field research presents results from in-depth case studies in Northern and Southern California, along with a description of research methodology for identifying classrooms with anticipated exemplar formative assessment practices. The presentation concludes with a discussion of what is missing from current student learning, and how we can use formative assessment to enhance and modify daily instruction.
