Formative assessment involves feedback to teachers for informing instruction and also feedback to students for directing their own learning. Early research on formative assessment showed independence from any particular theoretical foundation. Self-regulated learning theory provides a helpful construct for organizing formative assessment through familiar classroom practices, including provision of feedback, strategy use, and metacognition. One way to integrate reflective activities is with reflective assessment, which emphasizes gathering feedback through questioning, writing, and discussing. Ten studies were analyzed using best-evidence methodology to show the effects of reflective assessment on student performance of posttest and retention tests. Weighted mean effect sizes ranged from .28 to .37. Results suggest additional investigations into the use of reflection for improving student learning and other outcomes.

ThinkLink Learning has developed an online formative assessment model that helps teachers and students prepare throughout the year for end-of-year state and national summative assessments. Four aspects of the ThinkLink system are discussed in this chapter: (a) how online formative assessment can help improve student learning on standards tested at a state or national level, (b) the advantages and disadvantages of using online assessment, (c) three case studies that demonstrate the predictive validity of this system and its use in improving student learning, and (d) future trends in the use of online assessment and directions in measuring student learning on standardized tests. In general, ThinkLink Learning has pioneered online solutions to large-scale assessment problems.

Feedback Delivery

Formative assessment generates feedback on students’ performance, therebyaccelerating and improving student learning. Anecdotal evidence gathered by anumber of evaluations has hypothesised that audio feedback may be capable ofenhancing student learning more than other approaches. In this paper we report onthe preliminary findings of a quasi-experimental study employing qualitativetechniques for triangulation, conducted to evaluate the efficacy of formative audiofeedback on student learning. We focus on the delivery of ‘voice emails’ toundergraduate students (n = 24) and evaluate the efficacy of such feedback informative assessment and ergo students’ learning, as well as achieving a betterunderstanding of students’ feedback behaviour post-delivery. The results indicatethat audio feedback better conforms to existing models of ‘quality’ formativefeedback, can enhance the student learning experience and can be more efficientin feedback delivery. Despite this, and high levels of feedback re-use by studentparticipants, the audio treatment group underperformed in learning tasks whencompared with the control group. Differences between the groups were notstatistically significant and analyses of individual and mean learning gains acrossthe treatment group provide little indication of improvements in learning.

SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur, especially in the fourth grade, KKM to subjects who haveditatapkan PPKn is by KKM is 65. Particularly in the fourth grade SD Negeri 011 BeringinMakmur PPKn low student learning outcomes. It can be seen from the students after the testin midterm average value of only 61.5. Based on the preliminary study authors, the lowstudent learning outcomes PPKn caused by several things, the strategies used in teaching theteacher does not comply with the demands of learning and students during lessons PPKnfrequency only ask very little because the material is only presented in the form of lectures.The purpose of this study is to improve learning outcomes in subjects PPKn through theimplementation of inquiry learning model SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur fourth gradestudents. This research is a classroom action through the stages of planning, implementingaction, observation and reflection. Design research is the model cycle of improvementplanning, implementing action, observation and reflection. The subjects were students ingrade IV SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur with the number of 30 people, including 15 womenand 15 men. While the object of the research is PPKn student learning outcomes, the dataused in this study focuses on learning outcomes data PPKn only. From the results of theaction, can be seen learning outcome Civics students from before action is taken (preliminarydata) cycle I and after the action on the second cycle by improving student learning outcomesthat have been achieved, known completeness class on preliminary data only 15 or (50 %) ofall students and after repair in the first cycle has increased to 26 people or 87% of the totalclass IV student SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur. After the improvement in cycle II to beincreased to 27 students or 90%.

Based on the author's experience teaching for this in SD Negeri 010 Banjar PanjangKerumutan, and based on observation and early reflections by the author seen low creativityof students in learning that ultimately ends up in the low student learning outcomesthemselves, especially on the subjects of Natural Sciences. After many tests on the midtermturns lower student learning outcomes. Completeness class only reach 50% or 10 out of 20students, KKM for subjects of Natural Sciences which has been set in the class IV SD Negeri010 Banjar Panjang Kerumutan is the number 70. As Judge things that cause children lowvalue, from the aspect of teachers are: teacher always using methods lectures, learningachievement of children have been considered equally by teachers, and the learning processis dominated by the teacher. This research is a classroom action research (PTK). Class actionresearch through the stages of planning, implementation, observation and reflection. Fromthe research data is a result of learning of natural science at the top can be seen learningoutcome science students from the action on the preliminary data for the first cycle to thesecond cycle by improving student learning outcomes that menigkat are significant, the initialdata of students who achieve mastery only 50 % and cycle to the first increase has reached70% and the thoroughness of the class in the second cycle reaches 85%.
