Summative assessment refers to evaluating student learning at the end of a period of instruction, such as at the end of a project, course, or semester. It is used to determine if learning goals were achieved. Examples include final exams, research papers, and standardized tests. The purpose is to assess learning outcomes compared to benchmarks. Advantages are that it evaluates program effectiveness and student achievement and progress. Disadvantages are that it may not accurately reflect learning and does not provide feedback to improve instruction.
Placement assessments are used to “place” students into a course, course level, or academic program. For example, an assessment may be used to determine whether a student is ready for Algebra I or a higher-level algebra course, such as an honors-level course.
For this reason, placement assessments are administered before a course or program begins, and the basic intent is to match students with appropriate learning experiences that address their distinct learning needs.

time.
used to evaluate student learning, skill
acquisition, and academic achievement at the
conclusion of a defined instructional
period—typically at the end of a project, unit,
course, semester, program, or school year.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
6. Formative Assessment
Assessment for learning
Focuses on the process
Monitor student learning to provide
ongoing feedbacks that can be used
by instructors to improve their
teaching and by the students to
improve their learning
Helps to identify students strengths
and weaknesses and target areas that
need work.
Help faculties recognize where
students are struggling and address
problems immediately.
Foster development and
improvement within an on-going
activity
Low stakes – low or no point value
Summative Assessment
Assessment of learning
Focuses on the outcome
provide teachers and students with
information about the attainment
of knowledge
The goal is to evaluate student
learning at the end of an
instructional unit by comparing it
against some sort of standard or
benchmark
Assess whether the results of the
object being evaluated met the
stated goals.
High stakes or high point value

Assessment
Projects and
performances
Writing assignments
Tests and quizzes
Asking questions
Examples of
Summative Assessment
• Final projects (Portfolio, Research
paper, Travelogue)
• Chapter and Unit tests
• Semester tests ( midterm and final
tests)
• Standardized tests
• College admissions test (
CFAT )
• End-of-course evaluation
(Advanced Placement or International
Baccalaureate exams).
10. PROS OF S.A
used to determine whether
and to what degree students
have learned the lesson they
have been taught;
generally evaluative, rather
than diagnostic—i.e., they
are more appropriately used
to determine learning
progress and achievement;
evaluate the effectiveness of
educational programs;
measure progress toward
improvement goals;
make course-placement
decisions, among other
possible applications.
CONS OF S.A
not always the most accurate
reflection of learning.
they do nothing to identify
and remedy instructional
problems before they
become critical.
having one big test makes
everyone anxious, and is
disruptive to school life.
