Answer:
Since formative assessment is informal, group tasks may be assessed on broad parameters such as
participation, contribution and effectiveness of each member of the group.
It is necessary that the teacher monitors group tasks properly to ensure that every student is
participating and no student dominates.
This document emphasises teacher-preparedness, planning and co-ordination. It is suggested that at
the time of preparing an annual plan, the Principal interacts with each subject committee and helps the
teachers prepare a plan of action, ensuring that assessment is integrated with the teaching-learning
process.
It may be necessary to prepare detailed lesson plans for each unit/ lesson besides the overall plan for
the first and second term. While the lesson plan should essentially be an innovative tool evolved by
each teacher depending on the concepts to be taught, the needs of the learners and other socio-
cultural factors, it is perhaps advisable to include certain broad areas in the lesson plan to make it
reflect the integration of continuous and comprehensive evaluation. While these broad areas, along
with the format of the lesson plan could be decided by each school, the following components could be
included to ensure holistic planning:
Content/topic/lesson.
Concepts/skills.
Instructional objectives.
Levels – entry, process, integration, exit.
Tools of assessment with specific questions.
Remediation.
It is also suggested that the formative tasks may be assessed for ten marks or multiples of ten to
facilitate easy calculation of weightage. Similarly, self evaluation by students could be encouraged by
integrating ICT and developing student self-access tools. While it provides ample scope for learner
autonomy, it also reduces the burden on the teachers. Finally, a word about projects. This document
specifies that projects should, as far as possible, be done in the school itself. But certain projects that
call for extensive research and work involving hands and using different materials, may be difficult to
be carried out within school hours. Since the main concern is about the genuineness and credibility of
the work submitted for assessment by the students, if adequate care is taken by the teacher in
monitoring the project work, students may be allowed to do some part of it outside school. By making
the projects realistic and simple, teachers can ensure authenticity of their work.
