The document provides guidance on summarizing formative evaluation data from instructional materials in 3 steps: 1) Describe learners and performance on entry tests, 2) Compile comments on instruction, 3) Obtain individual and objective performance scores. There are several methods to summarize including analyzing individual item performance, attitude questionnaires, time data, and comments. Summaries should identify weaknesses in materials or instruction based on learner performance and suggestions to guide revisions. The goal is to determine if tests or rubrics need changes by examining learner performance, or if instruction requires changes.
