Formative assessment
Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in the subject. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in Norwegian in Years 3 and 4 when they read with fluency and comprehension and use terminology appropriate for the subject in conversations about language and texts. They also demonstrate and develop competence when they explore subject content and express themselves in oral, written and multimedia texts.
The teacher shall facilitate for pupil participation and stimulate the desire to learn by having the pupils learn through movement, play, using their senses and having a sense of wonder. The teacher shall facilitate for the pupils to learn through experimenting on their own and using creativity and their imagination to develop oral and written skills. The teacher shall also facilitate for the pupils to develop competence through practical work, conversations and the exchange of opinions. The teacher and the pupils shall engage in dialogue on the pupils’ development in Norwegian. With the competence the pupils have demonstrated as the starting point, they shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they have achieved and how they have improved their skills. 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 subject.
