The effectiveness of formative assessment in religion lessons.

Abstract

Formative assessment was presented from the point of view of its effectiveness in the teaching work of religion teacher – as a style of teaching, and from the point of view of its recipient (i.e. the student) – as a style of learning. All the elements that make up the overall formative assessment strategy were analysed, i.e. lesson objectives, assessment criteria, feedback, formative versus summative assessment, parents in formative assessment, key questions, questioning techniques, peer assessment and student self-assessment. They bring results for both teacher and pupil. This is because they deepen the satisfaction and professional competence of the catechist as well as the knowledge, attitude and skills of the pupils. Formative assessment adapts the catechist’s overall work to the increasingly growing educational needs of the catechised and their parents. It is a very effective and innovative didactic strategy, significantly increasing the effectiveness of religion lessons.
