Summative assessment is an evaluation method used to measure student learning and achievement at the end of a learning period, course, or instructional unit. It aims to assess the cumulative knowledge, skills, and understanding that students have acquired over a specific period.
Summative assessments provide valuable information about students' learning outcomes and serve as a means of accountability for both students and educators. They help identify areas of strength and areas that require further attention, providing feedback on the effectiveness of instructional strategies and curriculum design.
Curriculum design is the process of creating a structured plan for teaching and learning, focusing on content, objectives, methods, and assessments.
