Formative evaluation provides:

Formative evaluation provides:

• A. Specific feedback received during a program implementation.
• B. End-of-program anecdotal feedback.
• C. Final outcomes analysis.
• D. A one-time financial review.

Answer: (A)

Formative evaluation focuses on feedback you collect while a program is being implemented, with the goal of improving how the program runs in real time. In a school guidance context, this means gathering information on how lessons are delivered, how students respond, and what is or isn’t working, then using that data to tweak pacing, materials, or activities so the program becomes more effective as it unfolds. This ongoing, diagnostic process helps prevent problems and shapes better outcomes by the time the program ends. End-of-program anecdotal feedback or final outcomes analysis look at things after the fact and are more about summative judgments of success. A one-time financial review centers on resources rather than the instructional or programmatic quality during implementation.
