Immediate evaluation is designed to assess a learner's understanding right after the instructional period, often through a skills test or demonstration. This method allows educators to quickly gauge whether participants have grasped the key concepts and can apply them in practical situations. The focus is on real-time feedback and adjusting instruction as necessary based on the learner's performance.

In contrast, formative evaluation typically occurs throughout the learning process, emphasizing ongoing assessment and feedback rather than just a single skills test. Summative evaluation, on the other hand, is conducted at the end of an instructional period to determine what has been learned overall, often through comprehensive tests or evaluations but not necessarily through skills demonstration. Peer evaluation involves assessment by fellow learners and is not typically used solely for determining understanding through skills tests.
