• Support the writing of impact case studies of research projects.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of plans for knowledge mobilisation at the institute and beyond.
• Participate in and host ideation sessions and webinars on local educational trends, stakeholder needs, research trends, for information gathering from, and networking purposes with, researchers and non-research stakeholders to increase research dissemination, uptake and impact.
• Proactively liaise with domain experts, administration teams to document and collate information and knowledge about NIE education research (e.g., experiences, case studies, etc.) and with external vendors for the translation and dissemination of research.
• Coordinate with team lead, researchers and faculty members to support the translation of research into NIE programmes.
• Proactively organise, update and back up knowledge assets on shared server.

Ad-hoc duties

• Learn and manage any relevant software/IT tools for information gathering, interpreting and dissemination (e.g., Tableau, Twitter), as required for responsibilities undertaken.

Research: Exploring the impact of formative assessment on student learning outcomes in Mathematics

A recent study explored the impact of formative assessment on student learning outcomes in secondary school mathematics. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a sample of 200 students across four schools. The study found that integrating frequent formative assessments—such as quizzes, peer feedback, and exit tickets—into the curriculum significantly improved students’ conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills compared to traditional teaching methods without formative assessments.

Key Findings:

• Increased Student Engagement: Students who received regular formative feedback showed higher levels of engagement and motivation in their mathematics classes.
• Enhanced Learning Outcomes: The experimental group demonstrated a 20% increase in their scores on standardised mathematics tests compared to the control group.
• Improved Self-Efficacy: Students reported greater confidence in their ability to tackle complex mathematical problems after receiving timely and actionable feedback.

The study concludes that formative assessment is a critical pedagogical tool that not only enhances academic performance but also supports the development of students’ self-regulation and intrinsic motivation. The researchers recommend that educators incorporate formative assessment strategies into their teaching practices.
