Sergio Tirado-Olivares; Rocio Minguez-Pardo; Javier del Olmo-Munoz; Jose A. Gonzalez-Calero – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2025
Decimal misconceptions are a persistent challenge in mathematics education, often hindering students' long-term understanding. This study examines how learning analytics (LA) can be effectively integrated into instructional sequences to address these misconceptions, providing teachers with real-time insights for formative assessment. Despite the…

Iffath Fatima – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The problem in this study was students failing to meet state-mandated mathematics proficiency. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to examine teachers' experiences using formative assessment practices (FAP) in teaching mathematics in Grades 6 through 8. A gap in the literature related to teachers' use of FAP to increase mathematics…

Devard, Sirjana – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Sixth-grade science students at Gauger-Cobbs Middle School in Newark, DE, had misconceptions about how heat energy moves in the hydrosphere through conduction, convection, and radiation. As a result, students struggled to develop and connect ideas that correctly and completely explained heat transfer in the hydrosphere at the end of the lesson…

Joyner, Jeane M.; Muri, Mari – Math Solutions, 2011
What is formative assessment? Why do we do it and what do students gain? Formative assessment is not a one-time event. It is not the product or end result of a set of well-defined steps. Rather, formative assessment is a process identified in this resource as INFORMative assessment when it is a collection of strategies that engage teachers and…

Chin, Christine; Teou, Lay-Yen – International Journal of Science Education, 2009
The purpose of this study was to investigate how concept cartoons, together with other diagnostic and scaffolding tools, could be used in formative assessment, to stimulate talk and argumentation among students in small groups, as part of peer-assessment and self-assessment; and to provide diagnostic feedback about students' misconceptions to the…
