formative assessment
Formative assessment is a form of evaluation that is done periodically within the classroom set up by the teacher to expose and improve the learners’ abilities. A teacher’s decision on whether to maintain the learning approach, materials, and environment depends on the nature of the classroom as depicted in the formative assessment results. In practice, teachers use formative assessment tools to gauge their learners’ abilities to read, write, interpret and use knowledge gained as portrayed in the case studies.
