Formative Assessment in Academic Education

Abstract

One of the elements of work on the quality of academic teaching is to improve the way inwhich student work is assessed. The assumptions of formative assessment may be helpful in thisrespect. Formative assessment is based on obtaining information during the teaching process,which will allow to recognize the learning process so that the lecturer can modify further teachingand the student receives feedback to help him/her learn. Peer evaluation and self-evaluation playan important role in this area. Precisely defined evaluation criteria are a prerequisite for this.
