Panadero, Andrade, and Brookhart connect two research traditions that have often developed separately: self-regulated learning and formative classroom assessment.
They trace how both fields came to emphasize students’ active use of goals, criteria, feedback, monitoring, and reflection, then propose a roadmap for integrating their concepts and evidence. The article examines assessment practices such as self-assessment, peer assessment, rubrics, feedback, and shared criteria as mechanisms that can activate regulatory processes. It argues that assessment becomes formative when learners use information to judge current work and decide what to do next, not merely when teachers deliver comments or scores. The authors identify conceptual overlaps, gaps in empirical research, and priorities for studying how assessment supports cognition, motivation, and behavior over time.
For practice, the synthesis frames classroom assessment as part of learning regulation rather than a separate measurement event.
Panadero, Broadbent, Boud, and Lodge examine how formative assessment can help learners move from externally supported regulation toward more independent self-regulation.
Their model centers on evaluative judgement: the capacity to understand quality and make sound decisions about one’s own and others’ work. Teacher feedback, peer assessment, self-assessment, exemplars, and criteria can expose learners to assessment knowledge and regulatory strategies. Through these interactions, regulation is initially shared or co-regulated, then may be appropriated by the learner. The authors distinguish this developmental function from merely supplying corrective information and argue that students need repeated opportunities to judge quality and act on those judgements.
The paper offers a conceptual bridge between formative assessment and regulated-learning research, while identifying implications for designing assessment practices that develop durable learner agency.
