Summative evaluations are assessments conducted at the end of an educational program or course to measure its overall effectiveness. They aim to determine whether the learning objectives have been met and to evaluate the impact of the instruction on student performance. These evaluations often include tests, projects, or standardized assessments. The results of summative evaluations can inform decisions about curriculum improvements, resource allocation, and program effectiveness. They provide valuable data for educators, administrators, and policymakers to understand the success of educational initiatives and to make informed choices for future planning and development.
