Abstract
Formative assessment, by collecting and analysing evidence and then taking action, provides a way to make teaching more effective and helps students learn in a deeper and longer-lasting way. This study explores the use of formative feedback to support learning in a B.Ed. classroom, emphasising the value of scaffolding, oral, and descriptive feedback. The aim was to gain an in-depth understanding of how formative feedback influences student learning. This study is a descriptive observational study. The researcher observed how immediate feedback impacted student learning during classroom activities through – Non-Participatory Observation method. Findings of the study revealed insights into the teaching-learning process, the role of formative assessment and feedback, and demonstrated clear improvements in student learning through the application of feedback as a learning tool.
Keywords: Formative Assessment, formative feedback, teaching, learning, classroom
