Assessment for Learning: Formative Assessment
(Veronica)
What is AFL and why is it used?
Assessment for learning (AFL) is an approach to teaching and learning that creates feedback which is then used to improve students’ performance. Students become more involved in the learning process and from this gain confidence in what they are expected to learn and to what standard. (Cambridge Assessment International Education, n.d.)
The information created through AFL notifies both learners and teachers where students are in their learning. This can then aid the teacher is modifying their teaching approach. (Hawthorne, 2022)
AFL can therefore be used on a regular basis to guide the learning process – to assess, to inform teaching, and to provide impactful feedback. (Hawthorne, 2022)
