Question

Jonathan is a nutritionist who wants to create a wellness program at the homeless shelter in his town. He will start by assessing the need for a program. This is known as what type of evaluation?

a. Summative
b. Formative
c. Cumulative
d. Relative

Answer 1

a. Summative

Step-by-step explanation:

Summative assessment is a globalizing judgment that leads to decision-making, within the scope of classification and approval in each project, non-disciplinary area and modules, as to the progress of projects. It is in summative evaluation that the teacher or implementer of any program will research the need for program implementation and decide if the program will yield good enough results to justify the expense of its implementation. For this reason, we can conclude that if Jonathan wants to create a homeless shelter welfare program in his city and he will begin by assessing the need for a program, Jonathan is doing the summative assessment.
