Question 2

2.1. Formative vs. Summative Assessments

Formative Assessments:

Formative assessments are ongoing evaluations used to monitor student learning and provide
feedback during the learning process. They are typically low-stakes and can take various forms, such
as quizzes, discussions, or homework assignments. The primary purpose of formative assessments is
to identify areas where students may be struggling and to adjust teaching strategies accordingly.
These assessments help both students and instructors gauge progress and understanding throughout
a course.

Summative Assessments:

Summative assessments are typically administered at the end of a learning period to evaluate
student learning outcomes. They are high-stakes and often take the form of final eaams, standardized
tests, or major projects. The main purpose of summative assessments is to measure the overall
achievement of students and determine the eatent to which learning objectives have been met.

Contribution to the Overall Assessment Process

Formative assessments contribute to the overall assessment process by providing ongoing feedback
to students and instructors, allowing for adjustments in teaching and learning strategies, and
identifying areas for improvement. They help students understand their strengths and weaknesses,
leading to enhanced learning outcomes.

Summative assessments contribute to the overall assessment process by providing a comprehensive


evaluation of student learning at the end of a course or learning period. They help instructors make
decisions about student progression, program effectiveness, and curriculum improvement.
Additionally, summative assessments provide a measure of accountability for students and
institutions.
