| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In the third year of our project, we were able to finish the publication of 1 paper, had 1 presentation, and are in the process of presenting one more publication as well as having one paper in the process of submission. All our submission are for international journals. We has also finished the draft of the main product which is our website which introduces ICT tools for formative assessment. Furthermore, within our research framework, we have built another hypothesis in that formative assessment is not only a "form of assessment" per se, but it is acuatlly a "practice in learning design". Thus, have started research and work in providing this understading to the broarder educational context.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Due to our extension, we are able to get back on our planned timeline. Our project timeline being increased one year, we were able to allot some time to output of our research in terms of data analysis and reporting as well as presenting our ideas another university. We were also able to allot more time to website design especially after, as mentioned above, extending our hypothesis of what formative assessment actually is.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In our final year of the project, we are planning to present our findings in one national conference, publish one paper on the effects of ICT tools for formative assessment, as well as have another submission prepared for another international journal. This final submission will take some time in that we are aiming for publication after the project timeline has ended. Finally, we are planning to revise our main product of the project which is our website introducting formative assessment along with ICT tools.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The main reason is also the reason for our one-year extention of our project. Due to the effects of COVID-19, we had to cancel most of our plans last year and have decided to continue with our research this year using the same plan.
