Abstract

In this study, our main purpose is to investigate the opinions of students of Mathematics Teacher Education, University lecturers and High school teachers about the purpose of classroom assessment. The research questions are: what methods are teachers using to assess students, basic components of assessment skills students need to train to students of Mathematics Teacher Education, and what factors influence students’ assessment. The results showed that the surveyed subjects were relatively aware of the purpose of the assessment. Teachers have used most of the traditional assessment methods in classroom assessment practice; determined the main factors that affect the classroom assessment process are the exam and the student's characteristics. The survey respondents indicated that it is necessary to integrate 5 skill-groups (16 classroom assessment skills) into subjects of teaching methods in the training program for students of Mathematics Teaching Education in Universities. In the final part of the study, we discuss ways to support innovation in assessing the results of students in learning Mathematics and improve students' capacity for assessing learning results
