Formative assessment Formative assessment occurs over a period of

time and monitor students progress. “Formative assessment refers to assessment

that is specifically intended to provide feedback on performance to improve and accelerate learning”(Sadler, 1998)

It support learning during learning process.

The teacher interprets the collected information with a set of criteria and makes judgments on the basis of the achievement levels of the learner.

Assessment for learning is designed to give teachers information to modify and differentiate teaching and learning activities (Jones & Tanner, 2006).

Formal and informal assessment

Assessment can be either formal or informal. Formal assessment usually implies a written

document, such as a test, quiz, or paper. A formal assessment is given a numerical score or grade based on student performance,

whereas an informal assessment does not contribute to a student's final grade. An informal assessment usually occurs in a more casual manner and may include observation, checklists, performance and portfolio assessments, participation, peer and self-evaluation, discussion and project.

What is Project?

project learning is a collaborative approach to teaching and learning in which learners are placed in situation where they use authentic language to accomplish particular objectives.

As part of process learners plan, work on complex tasks and assess their performance and progress.

A project is designed around issues, questions or needs identified by the learners.

Builds on previous work Integrates the four language skills Incorporates collaborative team work, problem

solving Challenges learners to use English in new and

in different contexts Involves learners in choosing the focus of the

project and in the planning process

Engages learners in activities, Acquires new information Has clearly articulate outcomes Incorporate self evaluation, peer evaluation

and teacher evaluation. Increase the development of real-life skills.

The project planning and implementation process

Step 1. (Re)assess need and capability Step 2. Establish the project planning team Step 3. Develop project goals and objectives Step 4. Select and characterize the audience Step 5. Establish program format and delivery

system Step 6. Assemble materials, resources, and

Project Based Assessment

It is a Collaborative approach Help us to know Student Language, Literacy,

effective behavior and Cognitive strategies. A Project is assessed and designed by the

student according to his thinking, issues, questions and needs.

Project as formative assessment

By giving students project of learning teacher can assess their progress, abilities and problems arising during project and learning.

So it creates opportunity for teacher to know about students problems and solve them and give them supportive feedback and guidance.

Feedback to any pupil/ member should be about the particular qualities of his/her work, with advise on what he/she can do to improve and should avoid comparison with other pupils.

Each member must be given help and an opportunity to work on the improvement.

If formative assessment is productive, pupils should be trained in self-assessment of project so that they can understand the main purpose of their project and thereby grasp what they need to do to achieve.

The objective and outcomes of project should be thoughtful, reflective, focused to explore understanding and conducted so that all pupils have opportunity to think and express their ideas.

Through project we can determine the current state of student learning and understanding, with the action taken to improve learning and correct misunderstandings.

Project develop self and peer assessment skills of students.

Project as formative assessment helps the teacher to know about:

1. Who is and not understanding the lesson?

2. What are the student’s strength and needs?

3. What misconceptions do I need to address?

4. What adjustments should I make to instruction?

5. How shall I group students?
