Summatiivsete

Summatiivsete is a Finnish term that translates to "summative" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of education and assessment.

In education, summative assessments are evaluations that occur at the end of a learning period, such as a unit, chapter, semester, or school year. Their primary purpose is to measure the extent to which students have mastered the learning objectives and content covered during that period. Unlike formative assessments, which are designed to guide ongoing learning and instruction, summative assessments provide a final judgment on student achievement.

Examples of summative assessments include final exams, standardized tests, end-of-course projects, and essays. The results of summative assessments are often used to assign grades, determine promotion to the next level, or evaluate the effectiveness of a curriculum or teaching method. They offer a snapshot of what a student knows or can do at a specific point in time. The term "summatiivsete" therefore refers to this type of concluding evaluation.
