Abstract

With the worldwide spread of STEM education, which is considered as one of the most important developments of the 21st century in the field of education, the question of how to assess STEM education activities has emerged. In STEM education, where many interdisciplinary learning outcomes are applied together and where the learning process is more important, it is natural for the traditional summative assessment methods to lose their validity. In Turkey, the 2018 science course curriculum was updated with the components of STEM education and the importance of process assessment was emphasized, but there is no detailed explanation given on how to do it. However, formative assessment was discussed in detail in an earlier Turkish science curriculum. In this article, discussion is presented on how to use formative assessment in STEM education with the aid of 2005 Turkish science curriculum together with examples from various resources.
