Formative Assessment

Formative assessment is a method used to evaluate and improve learning as it happens, rather than at the end of a lesson or course. It includes activities like quizzes, discussions, and observations that provide feedback to both students and teachers. This ongoing process helps identify areas where students may need more support and allows teachers to adjust their instructional strategies accordingly. The goal is to enhance understanding and skills throughout the learning experience, promoting a deeper grasp of the subject matter, such as general knowledge, rather than just assessing final performance.
