Abstract

The modern educational process requires not only the acquisition of knowledge by students, but also their active participation in their own learning, including in the assessment process. This article is aimed at researching and analyzing the implementation of formative assessment in mathematics teaching in the context of the New Ukrainian School. Regulatory documents that refer to formative assessment are mentioned. The relationship of formative assessment with current and summative assessment is considered. Ukrainian and foreign articles about student assessment are analyzed. The features of formative assessment are described, including process orientation, systematization; interactivity; and individualization, etc. It is noted that as a result of the introduction of formative assessment, positive changes in motivation, confidence, and student performance are observed, as well as improved interaction between all participants in the educational process. Some examples of strategies for implementing formative assessment are given. The article analyses the results of a survey with 126 mathematics teachers from different regions of Ukraine about their implementation of formative assessment in mathematics teaching. The results show that the majority of teachers practice formative assessment, but some of them do not do it systematically, and some do not change the planned learning activities based on the results of formative assessment. Based on the survey, we can see some ambiguity in the interpretation of the concepts of "formative assessment", "current assessment" and "summative assessment" by teachers. The article identifies the classes in which Ukrainian teachers most often use formative assessment, the most effective types and the most popular strategies of this assessment. Some problems and challenges related to the implementation of formative assessment are considered and some ways for its effective implementation in the educational process are suggested.
