Abstract
Formative assessment can be seen as an integral part of teaching and learning since this type of assessment has a positive impact on teaching and learning quality. A focus on forming and developing formative assessment skills for pre-service teachers is highly necessary in the context of innovating teaching towards capacity and quality development. This article presents the training process to foster awareness and skills of formative assessment for pre-service Biology teachers at University of Science and Education, the University of Danang. This process is formed based on the analysis of the literature on formative assessment and the curriculum of the Biology Teacher Education program at the university, and also on the consultation with educational experts for higher feasibility. The training process consists of three stages, which are mainly carried out in the Testing and Evaluation in Teaching Biology module and partlyincorporated in the Teaching Practicum module.
