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.
