Effect of summative assessments on student learning. "Tom Guskey and Jane Bailey examine this issue from a student’s point of view: ... teachers’ shifting emphasis from the formative aspects of grades to their summative functions. As a result, students no longer see grades as a source of feedback to guide improvements in their learning. Instead, they regard grades as the major commodity teachers and schools have to offer in exchange for their performance. This change brings a slow but steady shift in students’ focus away from learning and toward what they must do to obtain the grade commodity. (2001, p. 18)" (2006-04-20).
