Understanding Nonformative and Formative Concepts

Nonformative refers to something that does not have a specific shape or form. It can be used to describe things that are not structured or organized in a particular way, or that do not have a clear or defined outline.

In contrast, formative refers to something that has a specific shape or form, and is often used to describe things that are structured or organized in a particular way. For example, a formative assessment is one that is used to evaluate student learning and provide feedback, and is typically structured in a specific way.

Here are some examples of nonformative words:

1. Cloud: A cloud is a nonformative object in the sky that does not have a specific shape or form.
2. Water: Water is a nonformative substance that can take many different shapes and forms, depending on its context.
3. Sand: Sand is a nonformative substance that has no specific shape or form, but can be molded into different shapes.
4. Clouds of data: A cloud of data is a nonformative term used to describe a collection of data points that do not have a specific shape or form.
5. Amorphous: Amorphous is an adjective used to describe something that lacks a specific shape or form, such as a cloud or a blob of goo.
