Formative assessments are used throughout the week in the discussion forum to gauge the level of understanding my students have pertaining to the content at hand. One I frequently provide in my classroom management course, are scenarios that address specific types of problem behavior students may exhibit in the classroom. Then I ask the students to hypothesize the function for the problem behavior and identify an appropriate replacement behavior that could be taught.
By conducting this formative assessment I can determine if my students understand the functions for problem behaviors and can identify possible replacement behaviors, both of which they need to address in the essay due at the end of the week. If a student has a misconception it can be addresses prior to the summative assessment due at the end of the module by me providing additional opportunities to understand the content thoroughly.
