The Effect of the Concrete Structure Design Course Based on Formative Assessment

Abstract

The scientificity and rationality of the course assessment method, as a key factor determining whether the course objectives can be achieved, is closely related to the learning effectiveness and competence development of students. In the present study, an assessment method based on formative assessment and supplemented by summative assessment was implemented for the concrete structure design course, and a mechanism for tracking students’ learning status and providing timely feedback was constructed. We compared and analyzed students’ satisfaction, students’ overall assessment results, and students’ learning outcomes before and after the implementation of the proposed course assessment method. The result showed that there was a significant improvement in these three aspects after the implementation of the proposed course assessment method, which promoted student learning.
