The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of the
learning process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback regarding success
or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific learning errors that need to
be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful performance as well. For the teacher,
formative evaluation provides information for making instruction and remedial work more
effective.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in the
program have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence have been
achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall be expressed in the term
‘competent or not yet competent’.
Techniques or tools for obtaining information about trainees’ achievement include oral or
written test, demonstration and on-site observation.
