Activity 1 Essay About Formative and Summative Assessment

Formative assessment is used during the learning process to provide feedback through questions, marking, self-assessment, and peer assessment to help students improve their learning and self-esteem. Summative assessment measures student learning at the end of a process through tests and evaluations to determine if learning objectives were met and identify strengths and weaknesses in the teaching method. While formative assessment supports independent, collaborative learning, students may not develop strong self-assessment skills, and summative assessment only measures results rather than the learning process.
