Samenvatting
A final research product for the International Teacher Education Course at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences, this is an investigation into the Assessment for Learning (AfL) practices of a small international school in southern Germany as well as possibilities to support AfL and student agency with educational applications. For this project, the researcher questioned Elementary school homeroom teachers of the afore mentioned international school about their approaches to AfL and student agency in general as well as their use of ICT (information and communications technology) in this specific context. Furthermore, she trialed the learning management app SELAS (Smart Education Learning Analytics System) (Hanf, 2019), that was developed as part of the German initiative for improved integration of ICT into daily classroom practices and compared her findings with the feedback from German primary school teachers that have been using the app for formative assessment as well as management purposes for the past academic year. In her findings, the researcher concluded that with students displaying an increased natural proficiency in the overall use of technology (Chiong & Shuler, 2010), the correct use of educational applications can be highly beneficial
for student agency, foster self-assessment and self-management skills in students and thus positively add to AfL in the twenty-first-century classroom.
