2。1The definition of formative assessment

The formative assessment including diagnostic testing is a range of formal and informal assessment procedures conducted by teachers during the learning process in order to modify teaching and learning activities to improve student attainment。 It typically involves qualitative feedback (rather than scores) for both students and teachers that focuses on the details of content and performance。 It is commonly contrasted with summative assessment, which seeks to monitor educational outcomes, often for purposes of external accountability。 The formative assessment attaches the importance to the evaluation process。 This assessment focuses on the process of teachers’ education and teaching, rather than teachers’ education teaching effectiveness。 The teachers are not only the objects of the assessment, but also the subjects of the assessment。 Teachers’ participation in activities and evaluation is an important feature of the formative assessment。 The conclusion of the assessment serves to provide diagnostic advice for future professional development of teachers, but not just for the evaluation of teachers past work performance and implement incentive。 Compared with the summative assessment, formative assessment reflects the democratic and humanistic spirit better。
