Formative assessment is a process that engages teachers and students in gathering, interpreting, and using evidence about what and how students are learning. This review identifies rigorous studies of the effectiveness of formative assessment on elementary school student achievement. Results of the review indicate that: • Overall, formative assessment had a positive effect on student academic achievement. On average across the studies, students who participated in formative assessment performed better on measures of academic achievement than those who did not. • Formative assessment used during math instruction had larger effects, on average, than did formative assessment used during reading and writing instruction.

The use of formative assessments, or other diagnostic efforts within classrooms, provides information that should help facilitate improved pedagogical practices and instructional outcomes. However, a review of the formative assessment literature revealed that there is no agreed upon lexicon with regard to formative assessment and suspect methodological approaches in the efforts to demonstrate positive effects that could be attributed to formative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this article was to set out to clarify the terminology related to formative assessment and its usage

This paper highlights the current differences among assessment experts in the way they perceive and define formative assessment. It stresses the need for an operational definition for formative assessment as a basis for any research study that investigates the impact of formative assessment on students’ learning and teachers’ instruction. It also summarizes the concerns that some experts have about the use of summative assessment and their argument for the use of formative assessment instead. The paper provides examples on some of the prominent formative assessment tasks in the literature along with purposes and characteristics of formative assessment. Issues and concerns about the validity and reliability of formative assessment are discussed and some of the arguments and counter-arguments of some of the assessment experts are highlighted. The paper also provided some recommendations as to how formative assessment should be implemented best. Finally, some literature on the impact of formative assessment on students’ learning achievement and teachers’ instruction is discussed.

Formative assessment has been defined as any interaction that generates data on student learning and is used by teachers and students to inform teaching and learning, to address specific student learning difficulties and support learning growth over time. A wide variety of assessment strategies, tools and resources currently exist to support and improve teachers’ capacities to collect and analyse reliable data on student achievement and to adjust their teaching to meet each student’s needs for enhanced learning outcomes. There is a widespread assumption in the academic literature that formative assessment leads to better learning outcomes for students. Presently, we know little about the most effective ways of implementing formative assessment, including optimal school and educational system structures and supports. Systematic review of evidence is made more difficult by a lack of clarity and consensus regarding the nature and definition of formative assessment. This review, commissioned by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), synthesises national and international research on the effective formative assessment practices of teachers and school leaders, including their current capacities, challenges and needs. It presents the findings of a review of peer-reviewed studies meeting robust experimental design criteria that examine formative assessment practices in Australian and international K-12 contexts. It further delivers an analysis and critical review of research relevant to formative assessment practices, including (but not limited to) the use of online assessment tools.

Assessment to Inform Instruction: Formative Assessment
Young-Suk Kim
Our goal in this paper is to provide an overview of assessment for learning, commonly called formative assessment. Among several different types of assessment, formative assessment most directly informs instructional practice. Conducted correctly, formative assessment is an essential element in effective primary grade reading instruction. Our paper begins with a review of key aspects about formative assessment relevant to literacy development, including types of formative assessment, their links to the instructional decision cycle, and requisite features of quality formative assessment. We then present specific guidance and information for successfully implementing formative assessment as part of effective literacy instruction.

The terms "formative assessment" (Bloom, 1968) and "assessment for learning" (Mittler, 1973) can be traced back about 40 years, but, as can be seen in Figure 1, it is only in the last decade that the terms have come to be used widely. Also, Mittler used the term "assessment for learning" with regard to class placement.
