Efficacy and Efficiency in Formative Assessment: An Informed Reflection on the Value of Partial Marking
Seaton, Katherine A.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v44 n7 p963-971 2013
This article presents an informed reflection on the evolution of teacher-to-learner feedback provided on written assignments in first-year university mathematics subjects. The feedback provided addresses not only mathematical accuracy and skills, but also the development of graduate attributes, such as discipline-appropriate written communication. Effective and efficient practices that have been collectively refined and enhanced, for more than a decade, are described and examined. This model for formative assessment in mathematics subjects is critiqued in the light of the scholarly literature on feedback and assessment.
