WHAT DOES IT MEAN BY FORMATIVE & SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS?

Formative assessment is the use of day-to-day assessments to gauge and explore pupils’ understanding of a topic. It is best thought of as an assessment for learning. Examples: classwork, classroom discussions, homework, quizzes, projects, group assignments

Summative assessments take place after students’ have completed a block of work, whether that be on a term or unit basis. They are a more formal way to sum up student progress. They are best thought of as assessments of learning. Examples: mid terms, final exams, unit tests, end of term portfolios, final project
