The paper presents an innovative formative assessment practice exploiting online resources in order to foster argumentation competences in primary pre-service teachers. Specifically, we designed formative assessment workshops making use of an online elearning platform through which students (future primary teachers) are asked to produce written argumentation texts and to provide feedback on their peers’ productions, based on the three given criteria of correctness, completeness and clarity. We submitted a questionnaire concerning the students’ feelings about their participation to the activity and on their perceived impact on their learning process. In the paper we describe the design of the educational activity and analyze the results from the students’ questionnaire.

Abstract
The paper presents an innovative formative assessment practice exploiting online resources in order to foster argumentation competences in primary pre-service teachers. Specifically, we designed formative assessment workshops making use of an online elearning platform through which students (future primary teachers) are asked to produce written argumentation texts and to provide feedback on their peers’ productions, based on the three given criteria of correctness, completeness and clarity. We submitted a questionnaire concerning the students’ feelings about their participation to the activity and on their perceived impact on their learning process. In the paper we describe the design of the educational activity and analyze the results from the students’ questionnaire.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
