OUR STRENGTH-OUR TEACHERS

OUR STRENGTH ADMIN DEPARTMENT

CONTINUOUS & COMPREHENSIVE

EVALUATION (CCE)

The primary aim of education is not to enable students to

do well in school, but to help them do well in the lives

they lead outside of school.

17

STUDENTS –SKILLS REQUIRED

• Enhanced Self Esteem

• Self Confidence

• Assertiveness

• Ability to Establish Relationships

• Ability to plan and set goals

• Acquisition of Knowledge related to Specific content areas

External public exam is adversely affecting the teaching learning process especially in classes IX and X.

Academic excellence is not the only criteria for measuring future potential or success in life.

CCE – Continuous and Comprehensive assessment can be used for holistic assessment of a child. CCE would include

Scholastic Co-scholastic aspects

Grading which is indirect and absolute would help to reduce stress and anxiety

WHY CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION?

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

It refers to the assessment of the learning and summarizes the development of learners at a particular time.

The test aims to summarize learning up to that point. The test may also be used for diagnostic assessment to identify any weaknesses and then build on that using formative assessment.

Summative assessment is characterized as assessment of learning and is contrasted with formative assessment, which is assessment for learning.

Assessment of Speaking and Listening

• A weightage of 20 marks has been added for assessing Speaking and Listening Skills (ASL) in classes IX and X in the English Language in the Summative Assessments – I and II.

• Accordingly the written paper will be of 70 marks.

• The assessment of Speaking and Listening carries 20

marks i.e. 70+20 = 90 marks in SA I and SA II respectively.

PROBLEM SOLVING ASSESSMENT(PSA)

It will be compulsory for all students of classes IX and XI. It will comprise of 60 items of MCQ type and will carry 60 marks.

There is no specific syllabus for this test. It will assess life skills related to the following elements: Language conventions, Qualitative Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning

The items will incorporate assessment of 21st

Century skills such as Creative Thinking, Decision-making, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Communication skills that lead to greater success at higher education as well as real life situations.

These items will be assessing students’ ability to process, interpret and use information rather than merely assessing students’ prior subject knowledge. The assessment in language will contain items that will assess grammar, usage, vocabulary in context and passage-completion.

PSA score will be counted towards FA4 which is 10% of total assessments for class-IX. The score will be equally awarded in one language (English or Hindi), Mathematics, Science and Social Science. The same score is also counted for class X FA4, though the students may reappear for improvement of gradesClass-XI students will be issued a separate certificate for the same. Class XII students also can go for an improvement of grades obtained in Class XI

OPEN TEXT BASED ASSESSMENT

This will be a part of Summative Assessment II to be held in March, 2016.

Schools will be supplied with textual material in few months before the commencement of Summative Assessment II.

A textual material may be in the form of an article, a case study, a diagram, a concept/ mind map, a picture or a cartoon, problem/situation based on the concepts taught to be students during second term.

OPEN TEXT BASED ASSESSMENT

The text/case-studies/supplied is thoroughly read, discussed and analyzed by the teachers.

They get together for a brainstorming session working on the following:

• Objectives of the Text material/Case-study

• Concepts involved

• Application of concepts to situation

OPEN TEXT BASED ASSESSMENT

• Description and further explanation of the case/problem

• Higher Order thinking skills involved • Analysis with different perspectives • Assessment techniques • The Open Text based Assessment (OTBA) will have

questions of higher order thinking skills and some of which may be subjective, creative and open ended.

• The textual material supplied earlier will be printed again as part of the question paper and thus will be available while answering the questions.

Value Based Questions

• It has been widely felt that our existing educational ecosystem needs to be further strengthened to deliver values enshrined in our Constitution.

• The curricula cutting across all subjects need to articulate values in explicit terms and the assessment schemes, at the same time, must reciprocate by assigning a weighting to value based items.

• Continuing with its efforts in the area of value education and in light of above framework, the Board has decided to follow an interdisciplinary approach in value education where values are intermingled with the content of all the major subjects in classes IX and X .

• The Board has also decided to assess students for 5 percent weight age in each subject at the Summative Assessment level in Classes IX and X through questions which will be integrated with the content of the subject and analyzed on the basis of the values it reflects.

• The questions will be for 5 marks in a question paper of 100 marks and 3-4 marks in a question paper of 70-90 marks.

• This has been effective from the Summative Assessments-II 2012-2013 in classes IX, X.

• The Board Exam in 2016 for Classes X (Summative-II) will also have such questions.

Summative Assessment

School Conducted

Students of Senior Secondary Schools who do not wish to move out of the CBSE system.

The assessment will be done by the school teachers of the same school.

Board Conducted

All the students of Secondary Schools and

Students of Senior Secondary Schools, if they wish to move out of the CBSE system.

The assessment will be done by the school teachers from outside the school.

School Conducted/Board Conducted

Syllabus prescribed for both cases is same

Passing Certificate in both cases is issued by the Board.

SIMILARITIES IN EVALUATION

Evaluated on the basis of similar marking schemes prepared by the Board.

Both the school conducted and the board conducted SA-II will be based on the question papers sent/vetted by the Board.

The students appearing in the School conducted SA-II will be assessed by the schools themselves and their answer books will be randomly verified by the Board.

However, the students appearing in the Board conducted SA-II will be assessed by the External Examiners as has been the practice in the past for Board Examinations.

Marking Scheme In School Based Assessment

No student would suffer because of strict marking or benefit from lenient marking as the Marking Scheme for all Question Papers in all major subjects would be provided by the Board

Teachers would be directed to adhere to the Marking Scheme in each subject.

However, to avoid any such apprehension the Board is contemplating to undertake moderation of marks based on marks distribution of the students in the school as well as random verification by the CBSE of the assessment done by the school.

PROMOTIONAL POLICY FOR CLASS IX

• The year-end subject wise grades of a student in Class IX are to be calculated on the basis of performance in all Formative Assessments and Summative Assessments in scholastic areas as well as grades obtained in co-scholastic areas.

• In scholastic areas, all the five main subjects i.e. two languages, Mathematics,Science and Social Science are to be considered at par for promotion purpose.

Under Scholastic areas, Grades have been upgraded to the next higher grade in one or two subjects as per the total Grade Points achieved under Co-Scholastic Areas 2(A) ,2 (B),2(C), 2(D) and Co-Curricular Activities 3(A), 3(B) as given below:

53 to 65 Grades in two subjects of Scholastic area are upgraded.

40-52 grade in one subject of scholastic area is upgraded.

39 and above No up –gradation of Grades in subjects of scholastic areas.

Assigning weight age to Co-scholastic areas for Promotion purpose

• The grades in co-scholastic areas may be included in awarding overall grade to every student as per the following procedure:

• The grades obtained in different co-scholastic areas may be converted into grade points by using the following conversion scale:

Grading on 5 point scale:

• A --------------- 5

B --------------- 4

C --------------- 3

D --------------- 2

E ---------------- 1

• Total grade points earned by any student may be calculated by adding grade points for all co-scholastic areas as per the above conversion scale.

• A student who gets A in all the categories of co-scholastic areas included in the report card will earn 65 grade points according to the above scale.

• A star may be put on every up-scaled grade to indicate that the final grade has been arrived after including the achievement of the student in co-scholastic areas.

• A footnote in this regard may be given at appropriate place in the report card.

• The benefit of up scaling the grade in different subjects may start from the subject in which a student obtains lowest grade followed by next higher grade and so on.

MODIFICATION IN THE DESIGN OF PERFORMANCE PROFILE• The Board has amended its examination Bye-

Laws to make it mandatory for students to appear in both the Summative Assessments and score a minimum of 25% marks in aggregate i.e. (SA I+SA II) in these assessments w. e. f. 2013-14.

• The Board has also initiated Assessment of Speaking and Listening Skills (ASL) and Open Text Based Assessments (OTBA) to focus on communicative aspects of language learning and problems based on higher order reasoning skills.

• The grades ‘E1@’ or ‘E2@’ will indicate that candidate has obtained less than 25% mandatory marks in Summative Assessments.

• If mandatory 25% marks have NOT been obtained in the Summative assessments in a subject, Grade E1 or E2 will NOT be upgraded

GRADING SYSTEM

Minimize misclassification of students on the basis of marks.

Eliminate unhealthy cut throat competition among high achievers.

Reduce societal pressure and provide the learner with more flexibility.

Lead to a better learning environment.
