Chapter 3 Question


What is the difference between Formative Feedback and Summative Feedback?

5 comments:

  1. Formative feedback occurs during an event or process. It allows for a continuous flow of information while the lesson is occurring, thereby allowing the teacher to tweak the lesson to meet students' needs.

    Summative feedback occurs at the end of the lesson. This allows a teacher to revise each step of the process after everything has been completed for better implementation in the future.

  2. Formative feedback ensures a continous flow of information and also allows for adjusting the information. Summative feedback sreves as a final check once all the steps are completed.

  3. Formative feedback occurs during an activity or lesson, and the summative feedback is a final indicator for educators to know if they need to revise the DID model before implementation another series of steps.

  4. Formative feedback occurs during an event or process. Formative feedback's allow for mid-course corrections to be made during a continuous flow of information. It is dynamic and flexible and allows for the teacher to change the information throughout a lesson.

    Summative feedbacks however are given at the completion of a process. Summative feedbacks serves as more of a final check once all steps are completed and will prove helpful for a teacher down the road.

  5. The way I understand it, "formative" is just along the way, while you are teaching, to see how everything is going; "summative" is a final assessment to see how the whole lesson got through...or didn't....
