Formative Feedback
Knowledge Refinement
Principle in Action
Formative is an interactive student response and assessment tool that enables instructors to provide real-time feedback to guide students' ongoing learning and development. Teachers can view student responses as they are submitted and provide immediate personalized feedback on individual responses that helps learners understand their current progress and cue their attention toward goals. Through continuous communication facilitated by the tool, with feedback carrying over across multiple attempts, instructors can offer sustained support throughout the learning process.

Discuss in your team
What types of formative feedback will you consider based on your learning objectives and target audience?
How will you present formative feedback to learners?
How will you evaluate the effectiveness of the feedback?
Is this scenario better suited for formative or summative feedback?
Principle Definition
Offer explanatory feedback that helps learners understand their performance, refine their understanding, correct mistakes and misconceptions so that they can continue progressing toward learning goals. Formative feedback is particularly effective in reducing cognitive load, especially for novice or struggling students.
Limitations
Formative feedback is used during the learning process, often in low- or medium-stakes assessments, and may include diagnostic components. This type of feedback is non-evaluative, specific, timely, and student-controlled. In contrast, summative feedback provides a final judgment or evaluation of proficiency, typically in the form of grades or scores. It's more appropriate when a learner has completed a task or reached a learning endpoint and requires an overall assessment of their performance.
