Abstract

Digital assessment tools, or electronic classroom response systems, can be used effectively for formative assessment purposes. They can provide teachers with regular and instant feedback about learners’ progress to detect and fix the learners’ mistakes and misconceptions sustainably in an entertaining way. This case study intended to report researchers’ experiences and evaluations about using a popular gamified digital exam platform (Kahoot!) used for formative purposes in a limited context of prospective teacher education program. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 88 prospective teachers from a variety of programs/departments attending a 25-credit two-semester teacher training certificate program in Turkey. Results of the study suggested that participants were highly positive about using the digital exam platform as a gamified formative assessment tool from attitudinal and pedagogical aspects. It was concluded that Kahoot! is quite promising in providing an effective formative assessment platform producing favorable practical, pedagogical, and affective outcomes.
