Teachers - Summative and Formative Assessment in Mathematics - What Are the Differences?
by
Meggin McIntosh
In this article, definitions of summative and formative assessment are provided. This will help any educators or parents who are looking for an understanding of the difference - particularly in the area of mathematics.

Pt 1 Should English Language Formal and Summative Evaluations Be Knowledge or Performance Based?
by
Larry M. Lynch
A revolution is in progress. It's tranquil and orderly in places, but not so quiet in others. This revolution has swept up the academic world almost in its entirety from students to TEFL teachers and professors, administrators, curriculum designers and materials developers. It's creating new jobs while obsoleting others. It's altering the face and structure of the teaching, learning and language acquisition processes. The focus of the hubbub can be summed up in three key words: testing, evaluation and assessment. These three words can strike fear and terror into the hearts of teachers and students alike on a daily basis.

Pt 2 Should English Language Formal and Summative Evaluations Be Knowledge or Performance Based?
by
Larry M. Lynch
The question raised in part 1 of this two-part article was, "Which type of test is best for formal and summative evaluations designed to assess language learning and ability or language level?" Of the five categories of assessment: Placement assessment, Formative assessment, Diagnostic assessment, Summative evaluation, and Self-assessment. (Cucchiarelli, Panti, Valenti, 2000), we identified aspects of Formative assessment and Summative evaluation. In my opinion, English language evaluations should be done using language performance assessments. In this, part 2 of the article, we'll examine some reasons why.

Teachers - Formative Assessment - Informal Assessment of Students' Content Knowledge in Mathematics
by
Meggin McIntosh
While there can be overlap between some types of formative and summative assessments, and while there are both informal and formal means to assess students, in this article, I will primarily offer suggestions for informal, formative assessment for the mathematics classroom, particularly in the first of the three
categories suggested by
Clarke
Wilson: The student's mathematical content knowledge. The student's mathematical processes, such as reasoning, communicating, problem solving, and making connections. The student's mathematical disposition, such as attitudes, persistence, confidence, and cooperative skills.

Teachers - Formative Assessment - Informal Assessment of Students' Mathematical Processes
by
Meggin McIntosh
Although overlap exists between certain kinds of formative and summative assessments, and although you can design informal and formal means to assess your students, in this article, you'll learn about informal, formative assessment you can use in the mathematics classroom. The ideas presented will help teachers know more about their students' mathematical processing, including their reasoning, communicating, and problem solving.
