Abstract

In today’s society, with the accelerating process of globalization, the demand for talents is increasingly high. Therefore, all countries attach great importance to education reform and development, especially in the fi eld of higher education. The enrollment scale of Chinese colleges and universities is expanding year by year, and the employment pressure faced by college students after graduation is increasing day by day. In order to improve the comprehensive quality of students and meet the employment requirements of the society, many colleges and universities begin to pay attention to the cultivation of students’ independent learning ability and innovative spirit, including formative evaluation. This paper discusses how to carry out formative assessment eff ectively, and puts forward corresponding suggestions based on the actual situation, hoping to help teachers better understand and apply formative assessment and promote the all-round development of students.
