The purpose of the article is to determine the essence of the formative assessment and the leading conditions for its introduction in technology (labor training) lessons in the new Ukrainian school. Formative assessment is considered as a leading tool for evaluating students’ learning outcomes in terms of competency learning. The essence of the formative assessment is formulated. The conditions and main stages of the formative assessment of students in the process of design and technological activity are revealed.Methodical approaches to the introduction of formative assessment of students in the lessons of work training are considered, its possibilities for using the formative assessment by the teacher are revealed. The educational possibilities of project activity for realization of formative assessment of students are analyzed.The process of evaluating students’ learning activities, which is dominated by the student’s online position, should be done through an assessment technology that takes into account the learner’s subjectivity in the educational process, that is, his or her personal active participation in evaluating the results obtained.An analysis of the literature and information sources on this issue suggests that the most well-known and current assessment technology that takes into account the subjective nature of the learner in the educational process is formative assessment.Today, more and more definitions of formative assessment, which are based on the ideas of constructivism, are being increasingly offered – an interactive assessment of student progress that enables teachers to identify students’ needs and adapt the learning process accordingly. A promising area of research on this topic is the development of a methodological system for organizing the project activity of students based on the technology of formative assessment.
