Аннотация

Assessment is an integral part of any education system and provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes. The assessment system also has its importance in the field of informatics and information technologies. This article aims to discuss the significance of the summative assessment system in informatics and information technologies, for what purpose it was introduced. By understanding the specific features and applications of the summative assessment system, teachers and policymakers can make informed decisions toimprove educational outcomes. Keywords: Summative assessment, formative assessment, education, information technologies, project work, portfolio. INTRODUCTION: The results of the education system can be assessed through its results. It is constantly changing and improving with new assessment and evaluation rules and subsequent changes. The assessment process in the education system has been improved over the years. In Uzbekistan, exams are digitized and take on their responsibilities based on the international system. In the secondary school period, a new system was introduced based on a model, the final official assessment, known as the CSE. In connection with the widespread traditional system, it is not surprising that the traditional assessment system has shown a lack of validity, reliability andobjectivity[1]. Taking into account the global importance of the assessment system, in the resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on February 5, 2025, a number of measures were developed to create a new education system in our country, digitizing the education system and minimizing the human factor in it[6]. At the same time, seminars and training courses were also held forteachers ofsecondary schools in our country toimprovetheirskills[2]. Summative assessment is a process of formal assessment of the level of mastery of the competencies established by the state educational standard and curricula at a certain period of study (sections and chapters of the curriculum, quarter, at the end of the academic year), carried outusingtests, written work, oral interviews, project work, presentation work, practical exercises, laboratory work, creativework and other similar forms. In this case, the teacher identifies possible gaps in the student's mastery as a result of summative assessment, and works with the student to eliminate them. summative assessment by chapter (hereinafter - BSB) - a process of formal assessment of the level of mastery of the competencies established at the end of a chapter or section; summative assessment by quarter (hereinafter - CHSB) - a process of formal assessment of the level of mastery of the competencies established at theend ofa quarter[6]. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Teaching is no longer just an intellectual process, today teaching is a logical and digital process. Teachers need to assess individual student performance using a system such as summative assessment to provide an adapted learning environment in the http://www.internationaljournal.co.in/index.php/jasass 316 Volume15Issue03, March2025 Impact factor: 2019: 4.679 2020: 5.015 2021: 5.436, 2022: 5.242, 2023: 6.995, 2024 7.75 classroom. Methods such as standardized online tests, final exams, projects and portfolios are usually used in this assessment system. This type of assessment is often scored and allows for comparisons between students or educational institutions. In summative assessment, quantitative data analysis is used to measure the overall performance of not only students but also teachers. Standardized and computer-based tests are an important part of summative assessment. These tests help assess the level of knowledge acquired by students, their level of understanding of knowledge and the concepts of learning, and due to the help of information technology in the learning process, the human factor is reduced, resulting in transparency in the education system. Standardized tests allow for comparison of the overall knowledge level of students and comparison of students. These tests provide objectivity in assessing the level of knowledge acquired by students. Final exams are also an important part of summative assessment. These exams are designed to assess the knowledge acquired by students during the course, semester, or academic year. Students are required to demonstrate their level of knowledge, understanding, and skills through these exams, and the level of knowledge is determined without any confusion or unfairness. Final exams provide expanded and complete results in assessing the level of knowledge acquired by students. Projects and portfolios are also used as a method of summative assessment.
