Formative knowledge assessment in EUfolio Formative assessment helps teachers to monitor thier students progress. It is based on diagnosting the prior knowledge, planning based on prior knowledge and building up the individual students knowledge according to his abilities. Teachers role is to encourage and create adequate learning environment which allows students to perform at their best. The most important task of the student is to take on responsibility for his own learning and progress, to set his objectives in accordance with his abilities as well as common and personal objectives. I use Eufolio which enables the student to become aware of that through exactly defined steps, that make him use different thinking processes while studying. Firstly, the student is familiarized with the theme, which will be discussed, the description of the theme is usually prepared by teacher (but it can be also prepared by a student), the keywords are extracted after the theme description, assessment of prior knowledge and setting objectives. Duringin that the student is also thinking about the learning strategies, proofs of his learning, which is shown with the use of knowledge and self evaluation of his own work. EUfolio enables the student to do things, when he decides so. It also enables him to do things at his own pace and share his findings with other students and teacher. This way he is constantly getting feedback, which allows him to make the best possible progress.
