About our name, formative works
formative works is a play on words.
The formative approach is a didactic conception of learning processes.
The method
and the results are used for shaping, “formation”, hence design and
formatting.
The approach is derived from the formative evaluation. It is an action-research
type of support within projects and case studies. The aim is to quickly
optimize the contents, axes of intervention or structures through a learning
process.
A formative approach is accompanying, iterative, with a high degree of participation of the participants and a direct reference to quality assurance.
