Formative Assessment
Identifying and responding to the students learning needs. Teachers make 'frequent' interactive assessments of student understanding. This enables teachers to adjust their teaching strategies to accommodate to the various learning styles of students in the class. Students are also actively involved in the process, helping them to develop certain skills to benefit them to learn better.
Implementing FA into the classroom
Module 9.3: Blueprint of Life
Statement: 'Cloning' is the most beneficial means to reproduce
Four corners: Agree/strongly Agree; Disagree/Strongly Disagree: discussion between groups
Students unsure: Stay seated.
This form of formative assessment will allow the teacher to assess current progress of students in the class. The teacher can make notes as to who is having problems understanding of the concepts and can spend more time with those unsure of the concept.
In my view Tacher's feedback on the students statement is important, also to discuss their stand to agree/disagree statement with definitve reasoning should be implemented.
