Teacher´s assessment of the individual input of students working within a group

The purpose of this study was to investigate what strategies teachers use to rate students on individual work they performed in groups. The survey is based on interviews with six teachers and include three overall areas; Organization, Performance and Assessment. The results of the interviews showed that teachers use proven methods when planning and conducting group work at school. The study also shows that teachers believe that the benefits of working with group-work are more long-term based and should not be assessed theoretically. The study also shows that teachers are uncertain of the equitable aspects in how the formative assessment is conducted. Aspects that have emerged are that teachers build their assessments in group work on the student's previous level of knowledge and ability
