Detailed explanation-1: -Formative and summative assessment in the classroom can often take the same shape.
Detailed explanation-2: -Formative assessments have low stakes and usually carry no grade, which in some instances may discourage the students from doing the task or fully engaging with it. The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
Detailed explanation-3: -While formative assessment uses student data to improve teaching and learning, summative assessment uses data to evaluate the learning outcomes (American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, & the National Council on Measurement in Education [AERA, APA & NCME], 2014).
Detailed explanation-4: -In an ideal classroom, formative assessments should happen in every lesson. They allow teachers to check for understanding in low-stakes, flexible ways and “form” their future instruction.
