FEEDBACK IN FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Abstract

In modern didactics, assessment is perceived as a complex,
continuous activity, designed to take place in distinct but
interconnected stages throughout the educational process.
Formative assessment involves the constant monitoring of
outcomes throughout the instructional process, thus ensuring
progressive and well-structured learning in small sequences. An
important aspect of this process is the feedback that provides
useful information to students on their performance. In the
research that I carried out in the undergraduate program
Pedagogy of Primary and Pre-school Education, a number of key
elements were investigated that refer to the aspects of feedback
in formative assessment. The mode of investigation used in the
research was the survey, carried out using the questionnaire as
an instrument. A number of novel elements of the presence of
feedback in formative assessment emerged from the research.
