Formative Assessment
Social Science
Class IX
In Social Sciences the comprehensive and continuous evaluation has opened up a truly alternative way to assess and evaluate learning by children. The process is such that it is meant to encourage continuous review of the learning process and develop regular working and study habits among student. This would help in developing the attitude to not to look only for external motivation through grades but also enjoy the process of acquiring knowledge without consciously being aware of it. This approach is more participative with teachers sharing with the children how they are to be evaluated and support the process ( to choose projects, guide debates, help with references ) and give feed back( suggest ways to improve and change) and parents helping( through their own experiences, by visits and reading).
Until recently Social Science was viewed as providing unnecessary details about the past. It was also felt that the examination paper rewards the memorisation of these superfluous 'facts', with the children's conceptual understanding being largely ignored. This view now needs to be changed, for the CCE provides the space to guide the learning process).
