Formative assessment

Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in the subject. The pupils demonstrate and develop their competence in the History subject in vg2 when they use history-studies methods combined with knowledge about the past, and when they ask questions, conduct research and find answers. The pupils also develop and demonstrate competence in the History subject when they identify connections in the past and between the past and present and when they reflect on how the context in which people lived influenced their way of thinking and choice of actions.

The teacher shall facilitate for pupil participation and stimulate their desire to learn through oral, written and practical methods for acquiring and demonstrating competence in the subject and by allowing the pupils to be curious and active knowledge seekers. The teacher and pupils shall engage in dialogue about their development in the History subject. The pupils shall be encouraged to experiment on their own in the subject. With the competence the pupils have demonstrated as the starting point, they shall be given the opportunity to express what they believe they have achieved and reflect on their own development in the subject. The teacher shall provide guidance on further learning and adapt the teaching to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in the History subject.
