ASSIST-ME
ASSIST-ME is a high level research project that investigates formative and summative assessment methods to support and to improve inquiry-based approaches in European science, technology and mathematics education.
PROJECT HAS ENDED
ASSIST-ME is an abbreviation for Assess Inquiry in Science, Technology and Mathematics Education.
Based on an analysis of what is known about summative and formative assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes, the project designed a range of combined assessment methods. These methods were tested in primary and secondary schools in different educational cultures and contexts in Europe.
Summaries of the research and results are available on this page. The teachers link contains the assessment methods and the materials teachers used to assess them. Teachers and teacher educators can use these materials to assist them in transforming their current teaching and assessment practices. The researchers link contains an overview of the research questions, the research designs, and the project outcomes. Researchers can use these materials to validate and innovate assessment methods in their own contexts. The policy makers link contains the research questions, conclusions from national stakeholders about the utility of project results in various contexts.
Policy Makers
This section allows policy makers to inform decision making on curriculum design, teacher training and assessment strategies at institutional, regional and national levels taking into account relevant system characteristics and variables.
The ASSIST-ME project has worked within the following four main areas, where we sought to investigate how summative and formative assessment can be combined across various European educational contexts. Click on each of the areas to get more information about the National Stakeholder Panel perspectives.
- The main challenges related to the uptake of formative assessment in the daily practices in science, technology and mathematics in primary and secondary schools in different European educational systems
- Changes needed in summative assessment practices
- How formative and summative assessment methods including the use of ICT can be used together to promote learning in inquiry-based STM
- How research-based strategies for the use of formative/summative assessment can be adapted to various European educational traditions to ensure their use and avoid hindrances

In November 2016 we had two final ASSIST-ME conferences, a conference for researchers in Copenhagen and a dissemination conference in Brussels.
The Conference for Researchers
This conference aimed at researchers was held in Copenhagen in November 2016. Each partner country had invited external researchers to get an insight into our research methods (and to engage with them via carefully planned group activities) as well as an insight into and discussions about the project outcomes, and new research directions.

Teachers
Teachers and teacher educators can develop effective combinations of formative and summative assessment in daily practice in primary and secondary schools.
ASSIST-ME research results provide suggestions for transforming common teacher formative and summative assessment practices into methods which provide greater feedback on progress for both teachers and students.
Below are four commonly used assessment methods, showing what the project results for each of eight European countries suggests for transforming your current teaching and assessment methods for greater feedback.
Written Feedback
ASSIST-ME suggests the following steps to increase the quality of written feedback to students:
- Students produce certain artefacts (lab reports, ideas for experiments, journals, mind-maps, portfolios etc. associated with the competence in focus.
- Teachers give feedback to the students focused on their artefacts. Written feedback is given to individual students via paper or web based platforms.
- Teachers' feedback is supported through specially designed templates which provide a check-list with the competence in focus for the lesson/the teaching unit and learning progressions.
- Upon receiving comments from the teacher, each student revises the relevant artefact, taking into account the feedback received.
Oral on-the-fly Feedback
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF METHOD
ASSIST-ME suggests the following steps to increase the quality of oral on-the-fly feedback to small groups of students:
- The teacher suggests an activity in order to investigate a hypothesis that emerged during a discussion.
- The teacher poses a question that is intended to promote students' thinking about the topic being discussed.
- The teacher poses clarifying questions to help students furhter articulate a seemingly valid contribution they made.
- The teacher takes the opportunity to use what the student said in order to conclude/provide feedback.
- The students express several ideas that allow the teacher to ask them to compare the ideas.
- The teacher gets a contribution from the students and asks for further explanation with the intent to help them evaluate and adjust their reasoning.
Peer Feedback
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF METHOD
ASSIST-ME suggests the following steps to increase the quality of student-to-student (peer-to-peer) feedback:
- Develop teaching and learning materials targeting relevant competencies.
- Before the implementation, the students should be introduced to the roles of the peer-assessor and the peer-assessee. During the implementation, the students alternate between the two roles.
- As part of the teaching and learning materials, student(s) submit to their peers certain artefacts they produce, associated with the competence under emphasis. These artefacts can be produced either by individual students or by groups of students.
- The student(s) provide feedback to their peer(s). The process of exchanging peer feedback is supported by specially designed templates, which encompass criteria for assessing the specific artefacts. These tools are developed by the teacher. In the ASSIST-ME-project, we used two specially designed templates that you can access by clicking here and here.
Structured Assessment Dialogue
ASSIST-ME suggests the following steps to increase the quality of "structured assessment dialogic feedback:
- Teachers develop teaching and learning materials targeting the competence in focus.
- The teaching plan includes a ritualized conversation (5 minutes) between one student (the student in focus) and the teacher, based on the student's preparation and the teacher's filled-in template mirroring the demands for the competence to be assessed. The teacher has prepared questions that will help mapping student attainment of learning goals in terms of learning progression.
- This is followed by a peer-feedback phase, where the student in focus discusses the dialogue with a group of feedback students (What would be needed in order for the student-teacher dialogue to better cover the learning goal?).
The feedback students are instructed on guidelines for the feedback beforehand.
- During these two interactions, the rest of the class observes and reflects on their own understanding.
- In the end, all students write down reflections about their perceived level of achievement and future learning path using a student self-reflection tool.
Written Feedback examples
Example: Written feedback and self-assessment to student protocol.
Oral Feedback examples
Example: On-the-fly assessment of deduction of general laws from given experimental results.
Example: On-the-fly and self-assessment of written answers.
Example: On-the-fly assessment of student arguments from a given case study.
Example: Interactions on-the-fly on oral presentations and concept maps.
Example: Interactions on-the-fly on students’ artifacts.
Example: Interactions on-the-fly on students’ discourse.
Peer-Feedback examples
Example: Peer feedback on identified questions
Example: Peer feedback on lab-journal entries
Example: Peer feedback on written data: Lab journal
Example: Peer-assessment of technical sketches
Example: Peer-assessment on students’ artifacts
Structured Assessment Dialogue
Researchers
This section allows researchers to study formative and summative assessment methodologies and practices in different educational systems.
The ASSIST-ME project has four main research questions that sought to investigate how summative and formative assessment can be combined across various European educational contexts:
1. What are the main challenges related to the uptake of formative assessment in the daily practices in science, technology and mathematics in primary and secondary schools in different European educational systems?
1.1 In their efforts to enact innovative inquiry-based teaching sequences, how do teachers approach the need to monitor student learning as it develops? To what extent do they use structured formative assessment and in what formats?
1.2 What systemic support measures and what tools do teachers need in order to integrate fotmative assessment of student learning in their clasroom practice?
2. What changes are needed in summative assessment practices?
2.1 To bring them into consistency with the learning aims of IBE in STM?
2.2 To ensure that they support and do not inhibit the practice of formative assessment?
3. How can formative and summative assessment methods including the use of ICT be used together to promote learning in inquiry-based STM?
4. How can research based strategies for the use of formative/summative assessment be adapted to various European educational traditions to ensure their use and avoid hindrances?
4.1 How can the diverse roles of summative and formative assessment be clearly delineated for teachers and what strategies can help them make appropriate use of both, each to fit its own purposes?
4.2 How can relevant stakeholders be invited to take co-ownership to the research results and how can a partnership between researchers, policy makers, and teachers be established in order to secure relevant actions following implementation guidelines?
Read more about the background for these research questions in the ASSIST-ME project proposal.

Project overview
Assess Inquiry in Science, Technology and Mathematics Education
The overall aim of ASSIST-ME project has been to provide a research base on effective uptake of formative and summative assessment for inquiry-based, competence oriented Science, Technology and Mathematics (STM) education. This was done in primary and secondary schools in different educational contexts in Europe. The research base was used to give policy makers and other stakeholders guidelines for ensuring that assessment enhances learning in STM education. In order to do this, the project goes through three phases shown below.
Phase 1 is about establishing a foundation for the project. This phase consists of an analysis of what is known about summative and formative assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes related to key STM competences and an analysis of European educational systems.
Phase 2 is about finding results. Based on the analysis from Phase 1 the project will in Phase 2 design a range of combined assessment methods. These methods will be tested in primary and secondary schools in different educational cultures in Europe in order to analyse the conditions that support or undermine the uptake of formative assessment related to inquiry processes.
Phase 3 is about influencing and dissemination. In Phase 3 the resulting synthesis of opportunities and restrictions for implementing an assessment culture using both formative and summative approaches will be evaluated and discussed in relevant forums. This will be done in order to formulate guidelines and recommendations for policy makers, curriculum developers, teacher trainers and other stakeholders in the different European educational systems.
The project consists of seven work packages. Each work package is concerned with different aspects of the ASSIST-ME project. As the projects goes through each of the three phases focus will be put on each of the work packages. Read more about each of the work packages in project outcomes.
During the ASSIST-ME project various assessment methods will be tested in order to make an empirically grounded research base for the project.
Implementation rounds
In the beginning of the second phase of the ASSIST-ME project four assessment methods were designed. In order to test the designed methods, the methods will be implemented in selected primary and secondary schools in Europe. During the project three implementation rounds will be carried out, lasting 6 months each.
The first implementation round began in September 2014, and ran until the first of February 2015. The first round was seen as a trial round were teachers and researchers had the opportunity to get to know each other, understand the research designs and work through whatever obstacles that may appear during an implementation round.
The second implementation round will run from February 2015 until the summer of 2015 with the end of the school year.
The third implementation round will run from august 2015 until February of 2016.
Assessment, research designs and competencies
In each partner country teachers from primary and secondary schools are a part of the ASSIST-ME project. In the classes the teachers will, during the implementation rounds, evaluate their students based on the different designed assessment methods. In order for the researchers to capture these assessment methods in a research setup, the methods have been transformed into five research designs.
The teachers will during the implementation rounds implement inquiry based science education (IBSE) in their classes. In addition to this the teachers will design their teaching so that it promotes selected key STM competencies.
Each partner country will together with their teachers choose the research designs and competencies they are interested in working with during the implementation rounds.
Listed the ASSIST-ME project is working with:
4 assessment methods:
- Questioning and other interactions on the fly
- Structured classroom dialogue
- Marking (grading and feedback)
- Student peer and self-assessment
5 research designs:
- Interactions ”on the fly”
- Structured Classroom Dialogue
- Marking (Graded and written comments)
- Marking (Graded and written comments)
- Peer feedback
6 competencies:
- Empirical investigations in science
- Problem solving in mathematics
- Design in engineering/technology
- Argumentation
- Modelling
- Innovation
The first three competencies are subject specific and will be the same for each implementation round. The last three competencies are generic, and can be used for all subjects.
