New curriculum (2014) emphasizes formative assessment, so it was one reason to pick that topic. Second reason was, I wanted to research if evaluation can motivate pupils to learn. The purpose of this study is bring data of formative assessment and feedback. The study aimed to clarify what is formative assessment and how it impacts to learning. In addition, study illustrated what is feedback and what kind of feedback promotes learning. I implemented a descriptive literature review. I decided to use scientific articles. Articles presented formative assessment in comprehensive school context. Material were mainly collected from EBSCO, including years 1998-2017. Study shows it is difficult to define formative assessment, because researchers used different definitions. Common features are that formative assessment is used during the teaching periods or single lessons. Aim of formative assessment is to produce information about pupil`s learning. Purpose of formative assessment is improve on learning. Formative assessment improve learning, only if its implementation is intended. Articles showed that feedback has a great effect to learning. Feedback is an instrument to transmit formative assessment information to pupil.
