MECHANICS
How to Play?
1. The class will be divided into groups.
2. Each group will receive an envelope containing scrambled (jumbled)
letters that form a word.
3. At the signal “Go,” the groups will open their envelopes and work
together to arrange the letters correctly.
4. Once they have formed the correct word, they must run to the board
and stick the letters in the correct order.
5. The first group to correctly assemble and post the word on the board
will earn point.
 OBJECTIVES

At the end of the Chapter, the student should be able to:

• Cite appropriate techniques and tools for formative

assessment;
• Use appropriate techniques and tools for formative
assessment;
• Explain how scoring rubrics can facilitate formative
assessment and
• Reason why out self-assessment is an important
feature of formative assessment
 INTRODUCTION

What is Formative Assessment?

 FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
-It is an ongoing process teachers use during
instruction to gather evidence of learning and
immediately adapt teaching to meet student needs.
Unlike end-of-unit exams, these check-ins are low
stakes, feedback-oriented, and designed to shine a
light on misunderstandings while there’s still time to
fix them—saving both students and teachers from
last-minute surprises.

 TECHNIQUES FOR FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENT
Here are some techniques given by Fisher and Frey (2007) that teachers can use
while teaching to check on student's understanding:
 The teacher asks, “Is the sentence correct?” Students raise
cards that say YES or NO at the same time. What technique is
used?
A. Hand Signals
B. Games
C. Response Cards
D. Quiz

"thumbs sideways" means "I do
not understand."
"I'm not completely sure about...";
"thumbs down" means “I don’t
understand”.

 GAMES FOR FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENT
Here are some games especially suited for formative assessment to try in
your classroom (Cassie, J. 2018, p.59)

a. Socrative ([Link], free

and paid options) - It is a classroom -
engagement app that provides games
and other activities for students.
A favorite element is "Space Race"
which can turn an assessment into a
gamified experience between individuals
or groups.

GAMES FOR FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENT
 Why are games important
as a form of assessment in
school?
 SELF-ASSESSMENT IN
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
An increasing trend in formative assessment is
self-assessment. Self-assessment is aligned
with the principle of learner agency which
means that learning involves the activity and
the initiative of the learner, more than the
inputs that are transmitted to him/her by the
teacher. (Davis and McGowin,2007)
 SCORING RUBRICS AND
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

In formative assessment, teachers give

feedback. These feedbacks are made more
specific when they are based on rubrics
which enumerate the criteria and describe
the expected student's perfomance (process
and product).
 SCORING RUBRICS AND
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Scoring rubrics especially Analytic rubrics

are, therefore, a good framework for
feedback. (Brookhart, 2013). Analytic
rubrics are of great help to students in
assessing their own progress.

They can take a day, a half-day, or even an hour. Here are examples of quick
projects:

• Create a poster or collage illustrating the subject matter.

• Record a rehearsed skit or podcast discussing the topics
covered.
• Build a diorama about the subject and create a narrative behind
it.
• Let students design their own flashcards to test each other with
Keynote presentations made by students on the topic.
 CONCLUSION
• Formative assessment is an essential part of the teaching and
learning process because it allows teachers to continuously
monitor students’ understanding and provide immediate
feedback.
• Through various techniques such as response cards, hand
signals, games, and questioning strategies, teachers can easily
identify learning gaps and adjust instruction accordingly.
• It also promotes active participation, critical thinking, and
learner independence through self-assessment and the use of
scoring rubrics.
• Therefore, formative assessment ensures that learning is not
only measured, but continuously improved, leading to more
