feedback on performance, with an eye toward the future continuation or formation of learning. Summative Assessment aims to measure, or summarize,

Evaluation is the notion that the value or worth of someone or something is to be judged. Evaluation then involves judgment. Judgment may or may not be based
on test. Clearly, evaluation does occur in the absence of test, measurement, or other objective information Nitko,1983:7

parts, processes, or outcomes of a program are examined to see whether they are sa
tisfactory, particularly, with reference to the program’s stated objectives, our own expectation, or our own standards of excellence. The assessment of a
program’s outcome or results is facilitated by measurement. In other words, test may be used constructively in the process of evaluation. Essentially, tests are tools
that are useful in a number of processes such as evaluation, diagnosis, or monitoring.
