Using rubrics can benefit the quality of assessment and learning. However, the conditions that stimulate or obstruct these benefits have been insufficiently studied. One underinvestigated claim is that rubrics are no substitution for good instruction and assessment and that teachers need training in utilising them. This is relevant since teachers…

Although the number of publications on formative assessment in science education has long been high, there is no bibliometric analysis or scientific mapping in the literature to understand research trends in formative assessment research. This research aimed to examine the bibliometric results of articles on formative assessment in science…

Ni Made Sri Mertasari; Ni Luh Putu Pranena Sastri; Ida Bagus Nyoman Pascima – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2023
This study aims to examine the improvement of metacognitive abilities in learning mathematics through a variety of formative assessments. The study applied an experimental approach with a pre- and post-tests control group design. Six classes of students were chosen by cluster random sampling as the sample, with two classes serve as the…

Todd, Sarah – Christian Higher Education, 2023
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine formative first-year practices and motivating factors that encouraged first-year college students to pursue peer mentorship roles. The examination of peer mentorship within undergraduate populations owes much to Jacobi's (1991) study on mentoring and academic success, which more recently has…

Taras, Maddalena; Molina, Irma; Gallardo, Katherina; Morales-Piñero, Juan Carlos – London Review of Education, 2023
This study investigated the beliefs and practices of university lecturers around assessment theories and their links with teaching practices. Given the discrepancies in the literature, the research explored the gap in theoretical understandings of summative and formative assessment and the relationship between them, as well as the relationship…

Dorit Alt; Lior Naamati-Schneider; Daniel J. N. Weishut – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
In recent years, researchers have highlighted the importance of students' set of soft skills. However, although deemed important, the integration of those skills into educational systems' policy remains ancillary in higher education. This is mainly due to the scant use of competency-based learning activities and the widely used instructional…

Joseph S. Tomasine – Classroom Discourse, 2023
School-based social practices of oral feedback present challenges for all k-12 students. Ignoring these challenges during reading assessment contributes to a deficit view of emergent bilingual students, whose struggles to participate in formative feedback on reading performance may result from general unfamiliarity with school-based practices,…

Elka Johansson; Sutharson Kanapathippillai; Arifur Khan; Steven Dellaportas – Accounting Education, 2023
Research on formative assessment in accounting education examines the learning outcomes stemming from e-assessment or formative assessment within a stand-alone subject, but few studies examine the benefits and implications of continuous formative assessment or the perceptions of students who undertake formative assessment. The findings of…

Jonas T. Jørgensen; Bente Gammelgaard; Frederik V. Christiansen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In pharmaceutical laboratory teaching and learning, students' written reports allow them to document their understanding. Therefore, feedback on these reports is crucial for the students' continued learning. This study investigates written feedback on laboratory reports and compares the students' perceptions with teachers' intentions. The study is…

It is generally accepted that if a course or curricular transformation is to be implemented with fidelity, the users must understand how and why the transformation is different from their current practices and which aspects of the transformation are essential to achieving comparable student learning outcomes. In this article, we provide a detailed…

Ben Kambs – Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, 2025
Previous research findings of assessment in choir indicated that teachers favor non-performance criteria such as attendance and attitude over music knowledge and skill. Music education researchers have encouraged teachers to instead use measurable learning goals that inform teaching practices and document student growth. New assessment…

Background: Artificial intelligence, particularly natural language processing (NLP), enables automating the formative assessment of written task solutions to provide adaptive feedback automatically. A laboratory study found that, compared with static feedback (an expert solution), adaptive feedback automated through artificial neural networks…

Tuomas Paloposki; Viivi Virtanen; Maria Clavert – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
A typical practice of assessment in engineering studies, especially on large Bachelor level courses, is a final exam at the end of the course. This practice is problematic both in terms of learning and teaching, as it does not provide feedback on learning experience or student progress before the course is completed. This study examines the…
