To assess for and achieve transfer, the teacher then presents a real-world second problem that requires students to use information and processes from the first problem to solve it.
The teacher engages in formative discussion, requiring students to explain their thinking and challenge each other's assertions as they work to solve the second problem. Formative assessment differs from summative assessment in that it is generally low-stakes and is used to monitor student learning. In other words, we are measuring progress as student learning is forming and coalescing toward a goal. By contrast, summative assessment is a final, high-stakes assessment - a chapter or unit test, final exam, capstone project, or similar - that evaluates learning at the endpoint of instruction.
The great strength of formative assessment in relation to its counterpart is, of course, that it is formative. Think about life in general. How many times will you truly encounter a situation where you face a one-shot, perform-or-go-home scenario?
From championship athletic competitions to make-or-break presentations at work, these moments exist, but much more common are practices, scrimmages, and regular-season games, or reports, projects, and daily feedback. Formative assessment helps us develop a growth mindset and more closely mirrors the real world in which we live and work. It isn't "everyone gets a trophy" so much as it is "everyone gets better every day.
This is where the power of your learning management system LMS really comes into play. Your LMS should make it possible to provide real-time formative feedback to students via course announcements, class discussions, online "exit slips" and formative quizzes, seamless integration with analysis software, and more. Learning management systems make it possible to do these things more quickly and more efficiently than ever before, and can put students in control of their own goal-setting, learning, and formative improvement strategies.
None of us are perfect. Formative assessment acknowledges and celebrates this fact. Even summative assessment can be used formatively if feedback from the test or final project is incorporated toward future progress. We are all becoming, and formative assessment provides us with limitless ways with which to measure that process. We hope this helped cover the basics of formative assessment!
