Abstract:
Formative assessment aims at cultivating and improving students' comprehensive qualities and abilities. It acquires and analyzes the dynamic changes of students' learning process through flexible and diverse assessment methods. The assessment contents cover multiple aspects including knowledge, abilities, attitudes, literacy, etc., which help teachers and students to formulate practical and efficient improvement strategies and to meet the inherent needs of students for comprehensive development. This review describes the connotation of formative assessment and summarizes its application in higher education of basic medical science in China. The existing shortcomings and the reasonable advice are proposed. We also introduce our experience in the application of formative assessment in pathophysiology education. This review will provide reference and enlightenment for the reform and innovation of the assessment system in higher education of basic medical science.
