E-folio in formative assessment of knowledge in math class: A circle and a circumference

Elizabeta Žabkar, Osnovna šola 8 talcev Logatec

We decided to perform formative assessment in math class in 8th grade; the topic was ”A circle and a circumference”. While learning about multinominals in school classes, the students’ home work was to repeat what they had learnt about a circle and a circumference. Their task was to explore new facts on the topic under the supervision of the teacher. I introduced e-folio into this project. The students used it for writting down their findings, the goals and the ways to achieve them. The students were encouraged to implemente critical friendship with their classmates. At the end of the project we analysed the self-reviews of the students. The project was driven by our creativity – the students created amazing presentations of their work using Power point or Prezi. They scanned pictures they produced and stored them in e-folio. The students have learnt a great deal yet they had a lot of fun while learning. The creativity, the research and the use of computers highly motivated them. We exceeded the goals and consider the project very successful.
