Abstract :Digital formative assessment can be understood as the integration of formative assessment into lessons by using different digital tools or learning environments and aims to support the progression of students. Although a number of studies have addressed formative assessment and the effectiveness of digital tools, there are very few studies in the literature on how educators should plan to effectively integrate digital formative assessment into the classroom, or how it can be integrated into, the recent trending topic, entrepreneurial STEM education. This paper thus aims to provide educators with information about how to facilitate digital formative assessment in the classroom and support them in planning why and how such assessment can be applied to entrepreneurial STEM issues as an integral part of the teaching and learning process. To do so, first, what entrepreneurial STEM education and digital formative assessment are, and their importance is conceptually discussed. Then, a sample lesson plan was developed and presented on how this integration can be developed within the scope of Assessment of Transversal Skills in STEM (ATS-STEM) and Digital Formative Assessment Frameworks. The paper is finalised with proposing various suggestions to help plan an effective digital formative assessment for entrepreneurship STEM education and eliminate the problems related to the topic. Therefore, the paper concludes by suggesting that pre-service teachers and educators should be trained with the required knowledge, skills and attitudes about STEM education and digital formative assessment, and that they should be adequately equipped to conceptualize, plan, integrate, and implement these topics.Keywords : Biçimlendirici değerlendirme, Dijital öğrenme, Girişimcilik, STEM eğitimi, Öğretmen adayı, Öğretmen eğitimi
