PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENT AS FORMATIVE

PURPOSE OF
ASSESSMENT AS
FORMATIVE
Definition of assessment - assessment is an ongoing interactive
process in which two parties (assessor and assessee) are involved.
The assessor is someone who assesses the performance based on
the defined standards, while assessee is someone who is being
assessed.

Formative assessment is used by the teacher to qualitatively

evaluate pupil understanding, learning needs and their curriculum
journey during a lesson or unit. Fundamentally, the purpose of
formative assessment is to improve teaching and learning whilst it is
happening

EXAMPLES OF
FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENT
Incude asking students to: draw a concept map in class
to represent their understanding of a topic. submit one
or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture.
turn in a research proposal for early feedback.

Formative assessments can be classroom polls, exit

tickets, early feedback, and so on. But you can make
them more fun too. Check out this guide on formative
assessment with lots of different examples.
EXAMPLES
1. In response to a question or topic inquiry, students write down 3 different
summaries. 10-15 words long, 30-50 words long and 75-100 words long.

2. The 3-2-1 countdown exercise: Give your students cards to write on, or
they can respond orally. Students have to respond to three separate
statements: 3 things you didn’t know before, 2 things that surprised you
about this topic and 1 thing you want to start doing with what you’ve
learned.

3. One minute papers are usually done at the end of the lesson. Students
answer a brief question in writing. The question typically centers around the
main point of the course, most surprising concept, most confusing area of
the topic and what question from the topic might appear on the next test.

Summative assessments are often high stakes, which

means that they have a high point value. Examples of
summative assessments include:

a midterm exam
a final project
a paper
a senior recital

Information from summative assessments can be used

formatively when students or faculty use it to guide their
efforts and activities in subsequent courses.
 PURPOSE OF
EVALUATION
AS SUMMATIVE
Defininition of evaluation - the term evaluation is
derived from the word value which refers to
usefulness of something. Therefore, evaluation is an
examination of something to measure its utility.

Summative evaluation is a type of evaluation that

occurs at the end of a learning period or program. It
assesses students' learning and whether they have
met the established learning goals. It evaluates the
effectiveness of a learning program or to provide a
final grade for a student’s performance.
PURPOSE OF
SUMMATIVE
EVALUATION
The purpose of summative evaluation is to
measure the overall achievement of a student or
a group of students at the end of a course or
program. It provides valuable information to
teachers, schools, and educational institutions
about the success of their teaching methods and
curriculum design. Additionally, summative
evaluations offer a way for students to receive a
final grade, which is important for college and
university admission and future job
opportunities.
summative evaluation is an important tool for measuring the effectiveness
of teaching and learning practices. Providing valuable information about
student achievement helps teachers and schools improve their teaching
methods and curriculum design. However, ensuring that the evaluation is
fair, accurate, and used in a meaningful way is important to impact the
teaching and learning process truly.
 CONCLUSION

So, after reviewing the points above it would be

clear that assessment and evaluation are
completely different. While evaluation involves
making judgements, assessment is concerned
with correcting the deficiencies in one's
performance.
