How can technology support effectively formative assessment practices? A preliminary study.
Résumé
Formative assessment is a process that can inform both teacher and student of their understanding of knowledge at stake. Technology allows to get data, to arrange them and to share them. The FaSMEd project aims to study the effective role of technology within a formative assessment process. This paper presents a preliminary case study allowing to better understand how the teacher processes data from students using technology (i.e., tablets, student response system, IWB) and how he uses them to inform his teaching.
