New Delhi, August 27: The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has suggested a new evaluation model, proposing that students’ performance in Classes 9, 10, and 11 should contribute to their Class 12 board results.
The suggested assessment framework for learners in classes 9 through 12 will employ a comprehensive approach that balances both, formative (ongoing) and summative (end-term) assessment methods to provide a holistic view of learners’ progress.
For classes 10 and 12, the assessment framework will be divided into two terms, the report suggests.
“Terms will feature Classroom Assessments through HPCs, involving Portfolio Assessment, Self Assessment, Peer Assessment, Teacher Observation, Group Work, and Laboratory activities,” it mentions.
The report also proposed the End Term Assessment will continue with competency-based assessments using ITMS, with teachers selecting from the question bank. Term II will introduce formative assessment with additional components such as Project Work, Paper Presentations with viva voice, and Group Discussions.
“The summative assessment will consist of a common paper consisting of Long Answers, Short Answers, Very Short Answers, and Multiple Choice Questions linking with the Learning Outcomes, based on the question paper design and blueprint,” the report mentions.
