INTRODUCTION:

CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of school

based evaluation of student that covers all aspects of student development. It is a
developmental process of student which emphasizes on two fold objectives. These
objectives are continuity in evaluation and assessment of broad based learning and
behavioural outcomes on the other.

The term ‘continuous’ is meant to emphasise that evaluation of identified aspects

of students ‘growth and development’ is a continuous process rather than an
event, built into the total teaching-learning process and spread over the entire span
of academic session. It means regularity of assessment, frequency of unit testing,
diagnosis of learning gaps, use of corrective measures, retesting and feedback of
evidence to teachers and students for their self evaluation.

The second term ‘comprehensive’ means that the scheme attempts to cover both
the scholastic and the co-scholastic aspects of the students ‘growth and
development. Since abilities, attitudes and aptitudes can manifest themselves in
forms other than the written word, the term refers to application of variety of tools
and techniques (both testing and non-testing) and aims at assessing a learner’s
development in areas of learning.

The ‘comprehensive’ component of CCE takes care of assessment of all round

development of the child’s personality. It includes assessment in Scholastic as
well as Co-Scholastic aspects of the pupil’s growth.

Scholastic aspects include subject specific areas, whereas Co-Scholastic aspects

include Life Skills, Co-Curricular Activities, Attitudes and Values.

Assessment in Scholastic areas is done informally and formally using multiple

techniques of evaluation continually and periodically. The diagnostic evaluation
takes place at the end of unit/term as a test. The causes of poor performance in
some units are diagnosed using diagnostic tests. These are followed with
appropriate interventions followed by retesting Assessment in Co-Scholastic areas
is done using multiple techniques on the basis of identified criteria, while assessment
in Life Skills is done on the basis of Indicators of Assessment and Checklists

FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Formative Assessment is a tool used by the teacher to continuously monitor student

progress in a non-threatening, supportive environment. It involves regular descriptive
feedback, a chance for the student to reflect on the performance, take advice and
improve upon it. It involves the students’ being an essential part of assessment from
designing criteria to assessing self or peers. If used effectively, it can improve student
performance tremendously while raising the self-esteem of the child and reducing the
work load of the teacher.

Formative Assessment is carried out during a course of instruction for providing

continuous feedback to both the teachers and the learners. It discontinuous and
Comprehensive Evaluation.

Summative Assessment is carried out at the end of a course of learning. It measures

or ‘sums-up’ how much a student has learned from the course. It is usually a graded
test, i.e., it is marked according to a scale or a setoff grades. Assessment that is
predominantly of summative nature will not by itself be able to yield a valid measure of
the growth and development of the student. It can only certify the level of achievement
at a given point of time.

The paper pencil tests are basically a one-time mode of assessment and to exclusively
rely on it to decide about the development of a student is not only unfair but also
unscientific.
Overemphasis on examination marks focussing on only scholastic aspects makes
children assume that assessment is different from learning, resulting in the ‘learn and
forget’ syndrome. Besides encouraging unhealthy competition, the overemphasis on
Summative Assessment system also produces enormous stress and anxiety among
the learners.

CCA OF CBSE

The comprehensive component of CCE takes care of assessment of all round

development of the child’s personality. It includes assessment in scholastic and co-
scholastic aspects in pupils’ growth. Students will be evaluated both in scholastic and
non-scholastic areas.

1. As per the new pattern, students will be assessed in two areas - Scholastic and
Co-scholastic.

For assessment of the scholastic areas, the academic year is divided in two terms
and two types of tests will be conducted to assess the academic subjects as given in
Table 1 below.

Formative assessment

The formative assessment is a tool for a teacher to continuously monitor the progress
of a student. The assessment (in secondary) may include quizzes, conversations, oral
testing, visual testing, projects, practical, assignments, class test, class-work,
homework etc. The teacher is free to take any number of formative tests in his/her
subject during the year but only four formative tests will be taken into account in each
subject. Performance of the students will be reflected in grades.

In primary classes the formative tests will be in the form of –Dictation, oral test, class
test, home work, class work, assignments & projects (III to V), Memory test, Story
telling, Quiz (III to V), Elocution (III to V) or any other tool found suitable by the teacher.
The formative tests are purely informal, however, the teachers will inform the date and
time of test beforehand. These tests will be taken in the regular periods only.

Summative Assessment

The Summative assessment is the terminal assessment of performance at the end of

instruction. Under the end term Summative assessment, the students will be tested
internally. The Summative assessment will be in the form of a pen-paper test
conducted by the schools themselves. It will be conducted at the end of each term
twice in a year. The schedule for the same is given below.

Grading system
All assessment with regard to the academic status of the students shall be done in
marks and overall assessment will be given in grades in 9 point scale in secondary
(classes IX & X), 7 point scale for middle school (classes VI to VIII) and 5 point scale
for primary (classes I to V). The report cards will carry the grades only.
The performance of the students in the primary classes will also be shown in GRADES
(5 point scale) as per previous practice. The grades will be given on the basis of
performance of the students in all the 6 tests. The new grading system is given below
in Table-3.

Primary classes (5 point scale) Table 3 (a)

Grade – 1 Outstanding A* 90% to 100 %

Grade – 2 Excellent A 75% to 89 %

CCA OF SSC BOARD MAHARASHTRA

The S.S.C. is designed to provide an examination in C.C.E pattern (Continuous

Comprehensive Evaluation), through the medium of English. Candidates for the
examination will be required to have completed satisfactorily courses in languages, Art
and Craft, Physical Education, Moral and Spiritual Values and Socially Useful and
Productive Work. These are assessed internally by the school and their results will
count towards the award of the final progress report.

Marathi is taught from Class 1. Hindi from class 3, Art, Craft, Physical Training, outdoor
games, yoga and activities are compulsory for all.

Candidates are declared successful if they reach a prescribed minimum aggregate of

marks in all subjects as per C.C.E pattern. The students who pass standard 10th
standard are certified from state board and are eligible for admission to the H.S.C. or
Diploma stream.

Results of the examination are recorded in the progress report which should be signed
by the parent/guardian and returned the very next day.

Students with less than 70% attendance are liable to be disqualified from appearing for
the final examination.

The annual report card of a student will contain grades in place of marks, but a student
with an E grade — the lowest — instead of being failed, will be promoted to the higher
class, but will need mandatory remedial training. SSC results are taken from best
five of six subjects (out of which English marks is compulsory)

CCA OF ICSE BOARD

The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) is an examination conducted

by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, a private, non-
governmental board of school education in India, for class 10, i.e., grade 10. It has
been designed to provide an examination in a course of general education, in
accordance with the recommendations of the New Education Policy 1986 (India),
through the medium of English. It was affiliated to French Board of Examination before
1986. The marking scheme of ICSE (CISCE Class 10) is given below:
