    Abstract

    The study aimed to establish the influence of formative assessment on the attainment of scientific and technological competencies in a school in Lima, Peru. We formulated and subsequently tested hypothesis of the positive impact of formative evaluation on science and technology competencies. The authors used the questionnaire associated with formative evaluative practices and to measure the development of competencies gradings of 116 second-grade high school students. It was found that formative assessment significatively influences the development of scientific and technological competencies, predicting a 0.708 increase in educational outcomes (pseudo R-squared Nagelkerke). This influence on competency attainment was examined through regression analysis. It was concluded that formative assessment, along with all its dimensions, influences the achievement of competencies related to science and technology. We recommend that its implementation in classrooms should receive greater dissemination.
