Summative evaluations are assessments conducted at the end of an educational program or project to measure its overall effectiveness. They aim to determine whether the goals and objectives were met and provide a comprehensive overview of the outcomes. These evaluations often involve standardized tests, surveys, or performance assessments. The results from summative evaluations can inform stakeholders, such as educators, administrators, and policymakers, about the success of a program. This information can be used to make decisions regarding future improvements, funding, or the continuation of the program, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively.
