What characterizes formative assessment?

  1. What everybody brings to the table

  2. Support for learning and problem-solving

  3. Ongoing assessment during instruction

  4. Formal assessment at the end of instruction

The correct answer is: Ongoing assessment during instruction

Formative assessment is characterized by ongoing assessment during instruction. This type of assessment focuses on gathering feedback and information throughout the learning process to inform and improve teaching and learning. It is typically informal and allows educators to adjust their instructional strategies to meet the needs of students in real-time. Choices A, B, and D do not accurately describe formative assessment as they do not capture the essential element of continual assessment during instruction.
