Summative evaluation is evaluation
that takes place at the end of unit or section of instruction. Summative and
formative evaluation can be contracted like this: summative evaluation takes
place at the end of a lesson or project and tells the evaluator what is
happening. Summative evaluation “sums up” the learning. It is after-the-fact,
like end-of the-year testing .
Formative evaluation is ongoing and yields
information that can be used to modify the program prior to termination.
