EDB150 Lecture 5: Formative Assessment
Formative Assessment
• Feedback used to make adjustments and move the learning forward
• Feedback functions formatively only if the information fed back to the learner is used by the
learner to progress learning and group performance
• Given feedback with specific comments on errors, suggestions about how to improve, and at
least one positive remark -> positive outcome
• Written feedback, do not include scores!!!
• Balance of positive and negative is needed, Hattie and Yates recommend a ratio of 3 (positive)
to 1 (negative)
• Three principles for feedback:
o Should be more work for the recipient than the donor
o Should be focused
o Relate to the learning goals that have been shared with the students
