Summative evaluation is the process of collecting data and information in order to make decisions about the acquisition or continued use of some instruction.

Describe the purpose of summative evaluation

Describe the two phases of summative evaluation and the decisions resulting from each phase

Design a summative evaluation for comparing alternative sets of candidate instructional materials

Contrast formative and summative evaluation by purpose and design

Expert judgment

Field trial

The purpose of the expert judgment phase is to determine whether currently used instruction or other candidate instruction has the potential for meeting an organization’s defined instructional needs

Evaluating the congruence between the organization’s instructional needs and candidate instruction

Evaluating the completeness and accuracy of candidate instruction

Evaluating the instructional strategy contained in the candidate instruction

Evaluating the utility of the instruction

Determining current users’ satisfaction with the instruction

First Component is outcomes analysis, which involves determining the effect of instruction on learners’ skills, on the job (transfer), and on the organization (need resolution).

Second Component is called management analysis, which includes assessing instructor and supervisor attitudes related to learner performance, implementation feasibility, and costs

Expert Judgment Phase of Summative Evaluation Congruence Analysis To perform the

congruence analysis, you should first obtain a clear description of the organization’s needs, which includes an accurate description of the entry skills and characteristics of the target learners.

Analyze the congruence between the resources the organization has available for purchasing and implementing instructional materials and the costs of obtaining and installing candidate materials.

Compare the organization’s needs versus needs addressed in the materials

Compare the organization’s target groups versus target groups for the materials

Compare the organization’s resources versus requirements for obtaining and implementing the instruction

The final planning activity is to develop orientation and perhaps training for the instructors. A good summative evaluation will require the cooperation of those who are implementing the instruction.

Summative evaluations are conducted to make decisions about whether to maintain or adopt instruction. The primary evaluator in a summative evaluation is rarely the designer or developer of the instruction; the evaluator is frequently unfamiliar with the materials, the organization requesting the evaluation, or the set-ting in which the materials are evaluated. Such evaluators are referred to as external evaluators; these evaluators are preferred for summative evaluations because they have no personal investment in the instruction and are likely to be more objective about the strengths and weaknesses of the instruction

The design of the expert judgment phase of summative evaluation is anchored in the model for systematically designing instruction.
