Talk:Formative assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bibliography here is misleading. Michael Scriven distinguished between formative and summative evaluation in the late 1960's. Bloom, Hastings, and Madeus in the 1970's published a book entitled: Handbook of Formative and Summative Evaluation which focused on assessing varied content domains. I would guess the notions are older than that but that is as far back as I go.

Most of this article seems to be an advertisement for Wang's method. It should be at least reduced to a proportionate size, , if not eliminated. I'll do what I can. DGG (talk) 18:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
