nounpl: summative feedback (uncountable)
avaliação somativa / retroalimentação somativa
1. Evaluative feedback provided at the end of an instructional period to assess student learning outcomes and assign grades, typically used to measure achievement rather than guide improvement
The teacher provided summative feedback on the final exam to inform students of their overall performance in the course.

2. Assessment feedback that evaluates cumulative learning and measures mastery of objectives, rather than providing guidance for ongoing improvement
Summative feedback focuses on what students have achieved rather than how they can improve.

In Brazilian and Portuguese educational systems, summative feedback is increasingly emphasized in higher education and standardized testing contexts. However, there is growing pedagogical movement toward balancing summative feedback with formative feedback to promote continuous student improvement. This term is particularly relevant in the context of ENEM (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio) and university evaluations in Brazil.
