FORMATIVE vs.SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS THE DIFFERENCES
FORMATIVE • Little more complex • Completed during development of program • Conducted more than once • Research oriented--intent is to improve
“Coaching for success” • Ensure goals are being met • Provide feedback • “Learning spiraling upwards” • Not necessarily in need of, or to evaluate, a “product” • Assessments usually remain “in-house”
TYPES • ANECDOTAL RECORDS • QUIZZES • ESSAYS • DIAGNOSTIC TESTS • LAB REPORTS
SUMMATIVE • Quantitative • Information gathered/completed at the end of a program • Cumulative learning • Measure effectiveness • Assess end result • Used to make decisions about further study
TYPES • UNIT TESTS • FINAL EXAMS • STATEWIDE TESTS • NATIONAL TESTS • ENTRANCE EXAMS
