Summative evaluation is used to evaluate the effectiveness of instructional programs and student learning. It has two phases - an expert judgement phase and a field trial phase. The expert judgement phase involves subject matter experts analyzing the content, design, feasibility, and current use of instructional materials to determine if they have the potential to meet learning objectives. The field trial phase tests the materials on target learners in real-world settings to assess the impact on learning, job performance, and the organization. The purpose of summative evaluation is to determine if students or organizations achieved intended learning outcomes from the instruction.

Designing and Conducting Summative
Evaluations

2. Background
 Summative assessments are used to evaluate student
learning at the end of a unit or course and often determine
course grades, or at least carry great value towards that
determination. Summative assessment tools most
commonly utilized are mid-term or end-of-term exams to
determine the level at which students achieved the
expectations for their learning as prescribed by the
instructor and to identify instructional areas that may need
additional attention.

3. Objectives
Define the purpose of summative evaluation
Describe the two phase of summative evaluation and the
decision resulting from each phase
Design a summative evaluation to examine organizational
benefits of instructional that have been implemented
Contrast formative and summative evaluation by purpose
and design

5. What is a Summative Evaluation
 Summative evaluation is used to evaluate the
effectiveness of a unit or instructional
program. Teachers use summative evaluation
to decide if students gained knowledge from
what they have been taught. Types of
summative evaluations include unit tests and
statewide tests.

6. Two Phase of Summative Evaluation
 Expert Judgement: determine whether currently used
instruction or other candidate instruction has
potential for meeting organization’s define
instructional needs.
 Field trial documents the effectiveness of promising
instructions with target group members in the
intended setting.

7. Expert Judgement Phase
 Purpose:
Do the materials have the potential for meeting this
organization’s needs?
1. Congruence Analysis
2. Content Analysis
3. Design Analysis
4. Feasibility Analysis
5. Current User Analysis

8. Expert Judgment Phase
 Congruence Analysis
The expert judgment phase consists of performing a congruence
analysis consisting of a content analysis, design analysis, utility and
feasibility analysis, and current user analysis. As each phase is
conducted a no, no go, decision is made. If no, then the materials are
sent back with feedback for further design and development. This phase
is conducted with the instructional designer, the subject matter experts
and often an external reviewer. Target learners are not involved in this
stage of evaluation.

9. Expert Judgment Phase
 Content Analysis
During this activity, an identified expert is
used to judge materials for accuracy and
completeness to determine if they are inline
with organization stated goals.

10. Expert Judgment Phase
 Design Analysis
The design analysis is an evaluation of
the adequacy of the components of the
components of the instructional strategy
included in the candidate material.

11. Expert Judgment Phase
 Feasibility Analysis
Factors such as the availability of learners guide or
syllabus and an instructor’s manual are taking into
consideration during this activity.

12. Expert Judgment Phase
 Current User Analysis
This final analysis seek to get information
about candidates materials from other
organizations that are experience in using them.

13. Field Trail Phase
 The purpose of the field trial phase of summative evaluation is to
determine the effectiveness of instruction with the target group in
the intended setting (Dick & Carey, 1996). There are two parts to
the field trial phase: outcomes analysis and management analysis.
The outcomes analysis reviews the impact of the instruction on the
learner, the job and the organization. Management analysis
assesses "instructor and supervisor attitudes related to learner
performance, implementation feasibility, and costs" (p. 323).

14. Fileld Trail Phase
 Purpose:
Are the materials effective with target learners in the
prescribed setting?
Outcome Analysis:
1. Impact on Learner
2. Impact on Job
3. Impact on Organization

16. The Main Purpose of a Summative Evaluation
 Summative evaluation provides information on the product's
efficacy ( it's ability to do what it was designed to do). For
example, did the learners learn what they were supposed to
learn after using the instructional module. In a sense, it lets the
learner know "how they did," but more importantly, by
looking at how the learner's did, it helps you know whether the
product teaches what it is supposed to teach.

19. SUMMARY
(Change Agent)
 As a change agent, evaluating goals and determine the worth or merit in
an educational setting is very important. Well-designed evaluations also
provide information that can help explain the findings that are observed.
In these days of reform, educators are continually faced with the
challenges of evaluating their innovations and determining whether
progress is being made or stated goals have, in fact, been reached. A
change agent should use common sense and their professional practice
to ensure they make affective changes. The goal should be to provide an
ongoing source of information that can aid decision making at various
steps along the way.
