European project: Investigating the use of technology in formative assessment practices in ways that allow teachers to respond to the emerging needs of low achieving learners in mathematics and science.
FaSMEd is a Science in Society Collaborative Project of the European Community This three year, €1.9M project will take lessons from around the world to help improve mathematics and science skills in Europe and South Africa. Working with partners across eight countries, researchers will look at how technology can be used in formative assessment by teachers to help raise attainment levels among the lowest achieving students. In each country this involves researchers working with a cluster of schools with a focus on the use of formative assessment and technology to improve interactions in the classroom and reduce the anxiety about performance which frequently limits learners’ development in these subjects.
