Formative assessment through technology
Give teachers and learners the information they need to improve
Formative assessment is a key part of effective learning.
When teachers understand what learners know and can do, they can adapt teaching more quickly and more precisely. When learners understand their own strengths and weaknesses, they are better able to focus their effort and make progress.
Governments can harness the benefits of technology to deliver high quality formative assessment on a national scale.
Why use technology enabled formative assessment?
Technology can strengthen formative assessment by:
- Providing clearer insight: Digital assessments can capture more precise information about learner performance across a wide ability range.
- Delivering timely feedback: Dynamic and instant reporting gives learners and teachers rapid, purposeful feedback to act on while it is still relevant.
- Reducing workload: Streamlined delivery, auto-marking and reporting reduce administrative burden for teachers.
- Supporting inclusion: Digital delivery can include accessibility features and flexible models to support diverse learner needs.
- Informing system level decisions: Aggregated reporting across schools or regions can help monitor progress and evaluate the impact of policy and curriculum changes.
