What exactly is formative assessment?

Formative assessment is a way of working that focuses on supporting the learning process of students. Instead of aiming solely at a final grade, it’s about gaining insight into students’ progress so that teachers can make adjustments along the way.

This not only helps students better understand where they stand in their learning journey but also strengthens their motivation and ownership of their learning goals.

What are the pitfalls of formative assessment?

Although the benefits are clear, formative assessment also comes with challenges

How do you motivate students without grades?

Many students are used to grades as immediate rewards or feedback. Without them, it can be harder to get students actively involved in formative activities.

How do you track student progress without it taking too much time?

Regularly checking where students stand often means extra work for teachers — processing answers, grading open questions, and analyzing results can be very time-consuming.

How do you organize formative activities effectively?

Planning and executing formative moments can be complex, especially if you want them to provide valuable insights without eating up too much class time.

How does CO-Learning support formative assessment?

CO-Learning, Test-Correct’s unique interactive method, addresses many of these challenges.
In this method, students anonymously review each other’s answers to a question while the teacher discusses the question and answer model on the screen.

CO-Learning ensures that:

  • Students are actively engaged in the learning process — without attaching grades.
  • Teachers spend far less time grading, since each answer is usually reviewed consistently by two students.
  • There is more room for class discussion, giving students clarity about learning goals while also learning a lot from reviewing each other’s work.
    The process of comparing, reviewing, and discussing strengthens their understanding and critical thinking skills.

With CO-Learning, you no longer need to worry about motivating students or organizing formative moments. The platform fully supports you, so you can focus on what really matters: guiding students in their learning journey.

Quick filtering by learning objectives and taxonomy with rich question banks

A key element of formative assessment is using test questions that target specific learning objectives and taxonomies. This makes it easier to organize formative moments and ensures you always measure exactly what you need.

With Test-Correct you can:

Select test questions based on the learning objectives you want to measure.

Filter by different levels of taxonomy (e.g., remembering, understanding, applying).

Build a complete test in just minutes, without wasting time searching for suitable questions.

Smart analyses for optimal support

 

With Test-Correct’s smart analytics, both teachers and students quickly gain insight into where the class — or individual students — stand. These insights can be used immediately to:

  • Support students at class or individual level so everyone can take the next step.
  • Encourage student ownership, as students themselves can see where they stand and what they need to move forward.

This approach optimizes the learning process for everyone: Teachers can act more effectively and efficiently, and students are more actively engaged in their own learning development.
