What are the new names for internal and external evaluations?

The new names for internal and external evaluations are typically referred to as "formative evaluations" and "summative evaluations," respectively. Formative evaluations focus on ongoing assessments to improve processes and learning during the implementation phase, while summative evaluations assess the overall effectiveness and outcomes after a program or project has been completed. These terms emphasize the purpose and timing of the evaluations rather than their traditional internal or external classification.
