Padlet, Formative Assessment, Learning Reflection, Science Learning, Systematic Literature ReviewAbstract
This study analyses the role of Padlet in formative assessment and science learning reflection, addressing a gap where systematic studies remain scarce. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA 2020 protocol was conducted across five academic databases, covering publications from 2016 to 2026. A total of 247 articles were identified, of which 15 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using thematic synthesis. Padlet plays a significant role in formative assessment through five dimensions and in learning reflection through four dimensions. Supporting factors include ease of use, flexibility, and real-time collaboration, while inhibiting factors include limited digital infrastructure and internet dependency. These findings suggest that Padlet is an effective digital platform for science education.
