ABSTRACT

The school-based evaluation extends to almost all the areas of learners’ personality development. It should comprehensive in nature which include both scholastic and co-scholastic areas. This is in line with the goals of education. Evaluation is continuous and reveals the strengths and weaknesses of learners more frequently, so that the learners have better opportunity to understand and improve themselves. It also provides feedback to the teachers for modifying their teaching strategies. Evaluation is seen as an integral part built into the teaching learning process. It will lead to diagnosis, remedial action and enhancement of learning.  The ‘continuous’ aspect of Continuous and comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) takes care of ‘continual’ and ‘periodicity’ aspect of evaluation. Continuous means assessment of students in the beginning of instructions (placement evaluation) and assessment during the instructional process (formative evaluation) done informally using multiple techniques of evaluation. Periodicity means assessment of performance done frequently at the end of unit/term (summative evaluation). The ‘comprehensive’ component of CCE takes care of assessment of all round development of the child’s personality. It includes assessment in Scholastic as well as Co-Scholastic aspects of the pupil’s growth.
