Correct Answer - Option 4 : Continuous and comprehensive evaluation
Evaluation is a systematic way to assess learner’s abilities, analyze performance, provide appropriate feedback to each learner and help them to progress. High-quality evaluation is required in teaching for successful learning. Evaluation needs to be integrated with the process of teaching and learning.
Continuous and Comprehension Evaluation (CCE):
- The scheme of CCE has inbuilt flexibility for schools to plan their own academic schedules as per specified guidelines on CCE.
- It is a system that was introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India to assess all aspects of student’s development on a continuous basis throughout the year.
- The main aim of CCE is to evaluate every aspect of the child during their presence at the school. This is believed to help reduce the pressure on the child during/before examinations.
- The objective of CCE is to make evaluation an integral part of learning through diagnostic and remedial teaching.
- It never assesses students according to their economic status rather it emphasizes the continuity of assessment.
| Summative evaluation |
- It comes at the end of the term, course, or program of teaching. Annual examinations and half-yearly examinations in schools, public examinations are the example of such evaluation.
- The purpose of this kind of evaluation is to grade, rank, classify, compare, and promote the pupils. It is also used for the purpose of certification.
- Summative evaluation can form part of an impact evaluation, or be carried out in conjunction with a qualitative or process evaluation to provide complementary evidence.
