The Feedback in a Formative Assessment Path: Development of Communicative Skills in a Workshop Online

In this study we present an experimental research concerning a special kind of Formative Assessment, developed in a workshop conducted with university pre-service training course for Primary school teachers. The educational path has been divided into various phases, in which pre-service mathematics teachers worked in small groups and had to solve an arithmetic task. The role of technology is very important, since it ensures some important interactions among teachers. This activity has favoured an improvement in communication skills. Moreover, in this paper we will show the very important role of the feedback in this Formative Assessment process. Indeed, it gives multiple perspectives for students and teachers, it makes the communication skills improve and it makes the students aware of their own work revealed. This awareness increases while analysing and evaluating the peers’ work.
