Causing frustration and humiliation ..

WHY CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATIONWHY CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION

DE – STRESSING EXAMINATION

• Examination has now become a kind of pandemic which is affecting a student in different ways and severity.

• Examinations put up a lot of stress on the students for demonstrating their intelligence, creativity, understanding and applications of the concepts in a very short time interval of two or three hours.

DE – STRESSING EXAMINATION … contd

• Universities treat marks secured in Board Examination as their admission criterion.

• Board test only its curriculum and not the specific skills and aptitude required for any particular course.

• This entire correlation between marks scored in the Boards and admission to desired course and college culminates into an extremely stressful situation for teenagers.

DE – STRESSING EXAMINATION … contd

• Teachers and parents need to first de – stress themselves and leave examinations to the children.

• Parents should take a positive attitude and tell their children that “Yes, You can do it.”

• Self motivation works much better than external motivation.

Silver linings

• The CBSE has been trying hard to implement various measures like strengthening the internal school based evaluation through Continous and Comprehensive Evaluation.

• The introduction of Grading system in place of marking system up to middle level is one of the major steps of CBSE appreciated by all sections of the society.

• It has reduced the stress and fear of examinations among small kids and their parents

Silver linings

• It has been extended up to secondary level by introducing school based evaluation.

• Semester system is introduced at school level which will reduce the burden on the students. This will further de-stress the student.

• The marking system is changed to gradation system, which is more rational and scientific.De – Stress the Stress, as it is a well known fact

that everybody performs better when he is relaxed.

WHAT IS CONTINOUS AND COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION? (CCE)

It is process to provide holistic profile of the learner through regular assessment of scholastic and co-scholastic domains of development.

This scheme aims at making evaluation an integral part of teaching – learning process.

The scheme focuses on all round development of personality of the learners.

The scheme also envisages improving on – going teaching - learning process by diagnosing the learning gaps and offering corrective and enrichment input.

The CCE scheme brings about a paradigm shift from examination to effective pedagogy.

HOW WOULD THE CCE SCHEME HELP STUDENTS?

It will reduce anxiety and stress which often builds up if students are assessed only once through one – shot examination at the end of year. It will result higher level of learning due to timely diagnosis of learning gaps and remedial intervention. It will help the learners to develop holistically in the term of different domains of their personality.It will shift focus from need for learning to love for learning.
