Introduction. The organization of the educational process involves the implementation of ongoing assessment, which provides support for students’ educational activities and the impact on the educational process to improve its effectiveness. One of the elements of the teacher's assessment activity is an assessment judgment, which is formulated by the teacher in the current process of monitoring, diagnosing, analyzing and interpreting the results of students' learning activities and is aimed at informing students about the degree of the planned result achievement, students’ motivation, approval, remark, etc. The study of the teacher's assessment judgments in the context of formative assessment correlates with the problem of reliability, which ensures the consistency, objectivity, fairness and stability of the results of assessment activities.Materials and Methods. The material for the research includes 20 articles published from 2017 to 2020 and devoted to the problems of teachers’ assessment judgments during the process of formative assessment. They were collected by using keywords in the full-text databases of published scientific research which were ScienceDirect and Wiley Online Library. The selected articles were analyzed and summarized from the point of view of considering the factors that influence the teacher's assessment judgments and create conditions for reducing reliability.Results. As a result of the analysis of publications, we identified the following groups of factors that affect the reliability of the teacher's assessment judgments: factors caused by the components of the assessment situation, which include factors related to the subject and object of the assessment, assessment target, scope of the assessment, the basis of the assessment, as well as the use of the assessment tool; factors related to the assessment judgment; external factors.Discussion and Conclusions. The study of the factors influencing the reliability of the teacher's assessment judgments determines the possibilities of increasing the effectiveness of the assessment activities in the process of formative assessment. Understanding the role of each factor creates conditions for preparing recommendations for the teacher to improve the reliability of the current assessment. In addition, on the basis of the classification under consideration, it is possible to conduct empirical studies to clarify the specifics of activating certain factors depending on the goals, conditions and individual characteristics of all participants of the educational process in order to increase the effectiveness of monitoring the achievements of planned educational results and support the educational process.

The Impact

This study aimed at exploring the impact of formative assessment practices on student motivation for learning the English language. As Leahy, Lyon, Thompson, and Wiliam (2005) stated, education needs to change its function from collecting the results of right or wrong, and to encourage teachers in gathering information that will affect the educational decisions. This study is a non-experimental, correlational study, to describe the relationship between formative assessment practices and motivation for leaning. The instrument used was a questionnaire on high school students from public and private schools, who were selected randomly by stratified sampling. They belonged to three major high schools of Durres, Albania. The findings of this study showed that factors like strategic questions used by the teacher during formative assessment, student’s portfolio, self-assessment, and peer assessment affected positively the motivation for learning the English language. The results of the regression equation revealed that from four independent variables, the factor that had the greatest impact on motivation for learning were strategic questions used by the teacher during formative assessment, followed by self-assessment, peer assessment and student’s portfolio. This study identified ways of intervention to promote motivation for learning the English language. The study will contribute in the Albanian context showing how assessment practices made an impact on student motivation. It will help educational institutions and policy makers, foreign language teachers in improving the assessment practices to promote student motivation in learning the English language.

The Impact

Formative assessment is critical in providing students the opportunity to self-assess their content knowledge and providing data to inform instructional decisions. It also provides students with information about course expectations. If, as called for in numerous science instruction reform efforts, we expect students to be able to apply their chemistry knowledge to analyze data and construct coherent explanations, then not only must summative assessments include items that require this of students, but students must also be provided with frequent and ongoing opportunities to individually practice this difficult task and receive feedback. Although online homework systems can be quite effective at providing students with feedback regarding their mastery of basic skills, it is typically less useful in providing meaningful feedback on constructed student explanations. This study examined the impact of providing students with frequent out-of-class formative assessment activities initiated by text messages. Student responses were then used to facilitate in-class instruction. Increased student participation in these formative assessment tasks correlated positively with success on exams even after accounting for student prior knowledge. There was also evidence that students increased their ability to construct complete explanation over the course of the semester. All results were consistent across two different institutions and three instructors.

Assessment Activities

Web-based peer assessment has been considered an important process for learning. However, students may not offer constructive feedback due to lack of expertise knowledge. Therefore, this study proposed a scaffolded assessment approach accordingly. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, the quasi-experimental design was employed to investigate the effects of scaffolded assessment for self-critiques and peer assessment on students' learning effectiveness in the web-based assessment activities. A total of ninety 7th graders participated in the experiment, and divided into three groups with or without the scaffolding critique. The results show the use of the scaffolded assessment in the web-based peer assessment activities did not show a significant difference in the students' learning effectiveness. Even though the results show that learning effectiveness of the participants in the two experimental groups is significantly enhanced, there is no significant effect of providing the scaffolded assessment on the participants' learning effectiveness in the three groups. In addition, the participants showed a positive learning attitude toward the web-based assessment activities and agreed that the activities could enhance the participants' interactions between the peers and instructor.

The Impact

This study demonstrates how the technology used to assist formative assessment in spelling can have an impact on learning. Formative assessment represents a set of student-centered practices, the results of which are not always optimal. Furthermore, different technologies are better suited to certain tasks than to others. The study follows a Design-Based Research approach and was conducted in Chile in two phases. In the first phase of the study, a formative assessment strategy for teaching spelling is developed. In a subsequent phase, the impact of different technologies on this strategy is analyzed. This is achieved by comparing two different technologies: Tablet PCs and the interpersonal computer. The results reveal that a self-paced formative assessment strategy using Tablets is more effective than the same strategy using an interpersonal computer when teaching spelling to primary school students. This therefore highlights the impact of technology on learning when adopting a formative assessment strategy.
