Dustin S. J. Van Orman; Chad M. Gotch; Kira J. Carbonneau – Review of Educational Research, 2025
Teachers' approaches and mindsets for assessment affect student learning, motivation, and social-emotional well-being. This systematic review examines how initial teacher education programs prepare teachers to enact one core purpose of classroom assessment--assessment for learning (AfL). AfL (also known as formative assessment) is a planned…

Wiktor Mogilski; Alan Parry – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2025
Reflective and formative assessments are commonly used in both K-12 and higher education but are less common in university mathematics courses. In fact, much of mathematics education seems to be heavily reliant on summative assessments. In this article, we introduce a formative assessment in the frame of a reflective homework system that can be…

Learning analytics dashboards (LADs) are very important tools for contemporary education. Not only researchers, but also schools at different levels of education and students are evaluating in this way today. A large number of studies have addressed the issue, but there are few studies that have explored the possibilities of transferring the…

Diego Herrero-González; Víctor Manuel López-Pastor; Juan Carlos Manrique-Arribas; André Moura – European Physical Education Review, 2024
Assessment is a key element in the teaching-learning process in physical education (PE). In 2020, the Association Internationale des Écoles Supérieures d'Éducation Physique (AIESEP) published a position statement on PE assessment, in which it reviews the current state of the field and establishes the current yet forward-looking main lines of…

Rae, Mark G.; Abdulla, Mohammed H. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Both summative and formative assessments are known to facilitate student learning and understanding and help students to identify areas of weakness. However, few studies have investigated students' preference for either summative or formative evaluations, particularly in the area of preclinical medicine. The current study addresses this deficit by…

Sarah Roller Dyess; Katherine Ariemma Marin; Elizabeth Petit Cunningham – School Science and Mathematics, 2024
Noticing is an essential skill for all teachers of mathematics. Mathematics teacher educators have utilized a variety of tools to practice and develop preservice teachers' (PSTs') ability to notice, which we extend to include photographs and learning trajectories. This article explores PSTs' noticing skills by analyzing work samples from a methods…

Rune Johan Krumsvik – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This exploratory case study examines how AI technologies, specifically a GPT-4-based synopsis chatbot, can serve as a sparring partner for doctoral students in Norway. Despite favourable conditions, only two-thirds of Norwegian PhD candidates complete their doctorates, partly due to challenges with article-based dissertations that require a…

Gurvinder Kaur; Stephanie Stroever; Megh Gore; Bridget Vories; Vaughan H. Lee; Keith N. Bishop; Brandt L. Schneider – Discover Education, 2025
Background: Formative assessments build a positive learning environment and provide feedback to enhance learning. This study examined the impact of online formative and low-stake summative assessments on medical students' learning outcomes in the Clinically Oriented Anatomy course from 2016 to 2020. We aimed to demonstrate that formative…

Selda Aras – Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, 2024
Despite the developments and examples of effective practice, it is asserted that early childhood teachers encounter difficulties while utilizing formative assessment in their classrooms and the debate about how to achieve this continues. It is widely acknowledged that preservice teachers need research-based professional support to have sufficient…

Blaženka Divjak; Barbi Svetec; Damir Horvat – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Sound learning design should be based on the constructive alignment of intended learning outcomes (LOs), teaching and learning activities and formative and summative assessment. Assessment validity strongly relies on its alignment with LOs. Valid and reliable formative assessment can be analysed as a predictor of students' academic…

Osman Nafiz Kaya; Zehra Kaya – Research in Science Education, 2024
Teacher educators have focused on designing learning environments 'for' rather than 'with' teacher candidates. However, a co-design collaboration with teacher candidates has been recently suggested as a critical feature for effective teacher education programs. In this study, a co-design team, including preservice science teachers (PSTs) as…

Edwards, Shelley – Acta Educationis Generalis, 2022
Introduction: Assessment, historically, has been done in a summative manner in post-secondary education (HE). Whilst useful for the purposes of grading and assessment of competency, there is also increasing pressure from post-secondary education institutions to meet certain standards in terms of education quality and graduate numbers, putting…

Meimei Xu; Jill Stefaniak – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
Instructional design problems are one of the most complicated and ill-structured types of problems due to the dynamic nature of design problems and decision-making processes. Formulating instructional design solutions thereby requires teachers to possess adequate decision-making knowledge and skills and apply them to instructional design. This…

Lu Shi; Ying Wang; Jherian K. Mitchell-Jones; Marilyne Stains – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Assessment plays a critical role in instruction and curriculum. Existing literature on instructors' assessment practices and related factors has been intensively focused on primary and secondary education. This study extended the contexts of previous literature to post-secondary chemistry education by exploring general chemistry instructors'…

The present investigation demonstrates the relevance of cooperative components in teacher-student interaction during the assessment of students' vocal performance from a social-behavioural perspective. It is proposed that, during the assessment of this performance, a social-behavioural interaction with cooperative components between teacher and…
