Formative evaluation is generally any evaluation that

takes place before or during a project’s implementation with
the aim of improving the project’s design and performance.
 It is an ongoing classroom process that keeps students
and educators informed of students’ progress toward
program learning objectives.
 The main purpose of formative evaluation is to improve
instruction and student learning.
 Formative evaluation does require time and money and
this may be a barrier to undertaking it, but it should be viewed
as a valuable investment that improves the likelihood of
achieving a successful outcome through better program design.

Student
Learning

This type of evaluation

approaches the central problems of
curriculum development. What kind of student
learning take place when the curriculum
materials and method are used properly. Here

learning that takes place in relation
curriculum.
Student
Learning

The best source of evidences

seems to be a sort of combined use of all of
them to arrive at valid conclusions. It is better
to use one source for corresponding the
finding of the other two then depending upon
just one source of evidences.

regrouping and assessment methods as it helps to
plan also extension work for the excelling students.
2. Summative Evaluation

 Summative evaluation can take place during the

project implementation, but is most often undertaken at the
end of a project. As such, summative evaluation can also
be referred to as ex-post evaluation.

what has been learned over a period of time, to summarize
student progress, and to report to students, parents and
educators on progress relative to curriculum objectives.
