1What is Formative Assessment?Wiliam, D. (2006). Formative assessment: Getting the focus right. Educational Assessment, 11(3-4), 283-289.EducationalAssessmentFormativeShapes Student learningShapes development of teaching curriculumSummativeSummarises student learningEvaluates teaching quality

Only formative if something is dependent on the outcome of the assessment and the information gained is used to alter teaching and learning process2Why Use Formative Assessment?Continuous monitoring and improvement of teaching styleAdjustment of course material to suit needs of studentsLocal (institute-level requirements)National-level aims and goals

3Inspiration For Peer Instruction (PI):PI includes questions designed to engage students and uncover difficulties with the materialBasic premise requires students to apply core concepts being presented and then explain those concepts to their fellow studentsStudents are not graded on these tests

Presentation from Prof. Eriz Mazur of Harvard UniversityMany students learn very little physics from traditional lectures

4Incorporating PI Formative Assessment Taught technical drawing previously for several yearsWeekly assessed exercises that combines formative and summative assessmentFound that students didnt pay much attention to feedback and were more concerned about gradeBloom, B.
