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.

The Ramadan Group-Singapore is a newly established research group located at LKCMedicine/NTU. Led by Prof Kristijan Ramadan, who has previously headed a well-established research group in genome stability and cancer research at the University of Oxford, UK (The Ramadan Group-Oxford).

The Ramadan Group-Singapore is actively seeking an enthusiastic, hardworking, motivated, creative, and highly competent research fellow (post-doc) interested in addressing key biological questions in DNA-protein crosslink proteolysis repair. The Ramadan lab has recently discovered DNA-protein crosslink proteolysis repair as a specialised DNA repair pathway for the repair of covalently attached proteins to DNA, known as DNA-protein crosslinks. In collaboration with human geneticists, the laboratory has also identified Ruijs-Aalfs Syndrome, the first human disease associated with biallelic and monogenic mutations in the SPRTN gene/protein, the key enzyme in DNA-protein crosslink proteolysis repair. This novel DNA repair pathway has emerged as an essential mechanism for the protection against accelerated aging and liver cancer, and the upregulation of this repair mechanism is likely linked to cancer patient resistance to various chemotherapies.

• Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques.
• Represent the research group at external meetings/seminars, either with other members of the group or alone.
• Carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions and research groups.
• Provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and project students.
• Assist the Principal Investigator (PI/Prof Ramadan) in further grant writing and submission.
• Assist in managing daily lab duties.
• Securely store and manage obtained scientific data.

Key Competencies:

• Knowledge of basic biomedical laboratory techniques, especially in the field of genome stability, ubiquitin system and gene editing
