5. Definition of formative assessment…
Formativeassessment is designed to
generate feedbackon performance to
improvethat performance (Sadler,1998).
It should help studentsidentifytheir
strengths,weaknesses and areas they
need to work on
Formativeassessment happens duringthe
learningrather than at the end
6. The problem with
formative assessment:
• It is misunderstood...
• Medical studentsfrequently request
more formative assessment,but
what they are expecting is an
increased number of ‘practice’ runs
of the summative, in the same
format, and ideally with similar
questions.
8. Getting Started with Formative Assessment by Schofield, Napier & Macrae
Supervised learning
event/workplace based
assessment
Student takes a
history/examinesa patient
whilst being observed by a
tutor, who then has a
feedback conversation
with them afterwards.
9. Test enhanced learning
Test-enhanced learning is based on the idea that long-term
retention of knowledge is improved by assessment.
Overall the evidence suggests that frequent, low stakes formative
testing (such as quizzes at the end of every teaching session)
should promote rapid recall of knowledge
10. How are you doing formative assessment at the moment?
12. Take home messages…
