summary statement

Summary statements provide opportunities for learners to demonstrate comprehension of important topics, enhance their analytical skills, and improve communication skills by forcing conciseness and clarity. The constraints of the format force learners to identify, distil and convey only the essential information. This practice helps improve their ability to communicate complex ideas in a straightforward and concise manner to different audiences. It provides some transparency into what learners have perceived as the priority information and can help identify misconceptions and misunderstandings. These summaries can utilise various media to engage their audiences and provide creative and engaging outlets for many learners. Some useful examples would be briefing papers, posters, newsletters, flyers, outlines and social media posts.
