I was trying to pull together the various posts & comments on gaps and gapology when I discovered that one of the many benefits of formative assessment is that FA allows you to: a) discover gaps and b) get rid of gaps
The importance of this idea should have been obvious, yet I wasn't thinking about gaps when I first began looking into formative assessment. So I was sitting here thinking about formative assessment and gaps when I flashed on the famous Howard Baker line about Richard Nixon:
What did the President know, and when did he know it?
That's formative assessment for gaps.

Feedback given as part of formative assessment helps learners become aware of any gaps that exist between their desired goal and their current knowledge, understanding, or skill and guides them through actions necessary to obtain the goal (Ramaprasad, 1983; Sadler, 1989)
