Learning-to-learn in formative assessment approach in Mathematics by using the e-portfolio

Petra Kastelic, OŠ Belokranjskega odreda, Semič

In the workshop my contribution to the topic Learning-to-learn according to the principles of formative assessment in Mathematics by using e-portfolio will be presented to all the participants. All the activities for the development of Learning-to-learn competence were performed in grade 8 in Mathematics for unit Expressions. Pupils used tablet computers and e-portfolio in Mahara, where all the steps of formative assessment were performed: activation and identification of pre-knowledge, defining learning objectives, planning learning strategies, collecting proofs of learning, peers feedback, ongoing and ultimate self-evaluation of pupils own learning and progress. All this activities were performed during their learning process, when the pupils were developing competences of exploring, investigating and creating in Mathematics.E-textbook helped the pupils to explore and investigate the principles, definitions and examples.Word application tools for writting mathematic texsts were used to construct and solve exercises.Geogebra program was used to create graphic presentation of expressions with variables.The pupils knowledge of expressions was checked by a quiz in online-classrooms.The achievement in the process of learning about the expressions is created in e-portfolio under the view Expressions, here, all the steps of formative assessments can be seen.Pupils were given feedback on their work, progress.They were also given some guidelines to improve their ways of learning.
