Evidence of Assessments (EAs) : Selection of the Samples

SELECTION OF THE SAMPLES

Summative Assessment:

i. Arrange all the students of class IX/X (all sections) in increasing order of marks calculated for SA-

I.

ii. Divide the total number of students in three groups as follows:

a. Top one-third students,

b. Middle one-third students, and

c. Bottom one-third students.

For example: If there are 100 students in Class IX/X in a School, the three groups may consist of 33, 33 and 34 students after they have been arranged in increasing order of marks.

iii. Pick up the top five students from the first group, the last five students from the third group and

any five students from the middle group.

iv. This set of fifteen students is your sample for whom ‘Evidence of Assessments (EAs)’ are to

be sent.

Formative Assessment:

i. Arrange all the students of class IX/X (all sections) in increasing order of marks

calculated for FA2 & FA3 taken together.

ii. Divide the total number of students in three groups as follows:

a. Top one-third students,

b. Middle one-third students, and

c. Bottom one-third students.

For example: If there are 100 students in Class IX/X in a School, the three groups may consist of 33, 33 and 34 students after they have been arranged in increasing order of marks.

iii. Pick up the top five students from the first group, the last five students from the third group and

any five students from the middle group.

iv. This set of fifteen students is your sample for whom ‘Evidence of Assessments (EAs)’ are to

be sent.

Note: Samples of 15 students selected for Summative Assessment and 15 students selected for Formative Assessments may differ depending on the performance of students.
