Answer ALL the questions in this section
QUESTION 1
(10 Marks)
What, exactly, is ‘formative assessment’? The distinction between the summative and formative roles
was first proposed by Scriven (1967) in the context of programme evaluation (Black and Wiliam 2003;
Wiliam and Thompson 2008).
For Scriven, summative evaluation provided information to judge the overall value of an educational
programme (as compared with some alternative), whereas the results of formative evaluation were
targeted at facilitating programme improvement.
It was Bloom (1969) who, using the very same terminology, made a similar distinction, but with respect
to students (Black and William 2003; William and Thompson 2008). For Bloom (1969, 48), the purpose
of formative evaluation was ‘… to provide feedback and correctives at each stage in the teachinglearning process’.

Using Bloom’s Taxonomy in questioning.
Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification system used to define and distinguish different levels of human

to inform or guide the development of assessments.

QUESTION 5
In our increasingly diverse and multicultural society, it’s more important than ever for teachers to

ethnicity; it can include students of different religion, economic status, sexual orientation, gender
identity, and language background
