Abstract

Have you explored the use of formative assessment to improve your pedagogy? The goal of formative assessment is to inform teaching and learning, helping to refine instructional practice by teachers and improve understanding by students. Formative assessment is an iterative process that may lead to discovery of new ideas. Many types of formative assessment methods guided invaluable improvements to pedagogical tools consisting of a suite of visualizations introducing fundamental database concepts to students across many disciplines. Reflections on the experience examine the impact of the analyzed feedback on both the visualizations as well as teaching practice.
