  9. Quite in contrast is the use of “formative evaluation” to provide feedback and correctives at each stage in the teaching-learning process. By formative evaluation we mean evaluation by brief tests used by teachers and students as aids in the learning process. (Bloom, 1969, p. 48) Fresno County Office of Education Fresno County Office of Education 9 9

  10. The effect is not merely from testing…, it is from learning from testing. Gocmen (2003)…found an effect size of d=0.41 from frequent testing, but this was higher when the testing was accompanied by feedback (d=0.62)… (Hattie, 2009, p.179) Fresno County Office of Education Fresno County Office of Education 10 10
