The Role of Assessment in Teaching Interaction for the Development of Autonomy

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the formative function of assessment. The assessment of a student continuously informs about his or her performance. The formative function of assessment is mainly achieved by feedback resulting from the student's performance. This article focuses on selected aspects of the formative function of assessment, on the concordance of teaching and assessment goals (and processes) from the perspective of their formulation and the assessment criteria, on the examination of the understanding of the taught subject from the perspective of adopting concepts and their correctness during evaluation, on the didactic approach when working with errors while analysing the student's performance. The dialogue approach and method of working with errors were presented and discussed. In this article the function of assessment in higher education was underlined and stressed as a way to the student's autonomy and the way to improve the quality of the student's learning process.
