ReplyDeleteFormative Assessment is a tool used by the teacher to continuously monitor student progress in a non threatening, supportive environment. It involves regular descriptive feedback, a chance for the students to reflect on their performance, take advice and improve upon it. It involves students' being an essential part of assessment from designing criteria to assessing self or peers. If used effectively it can improve student performance tremendously while raising the self esteem of the child and reducing the work load of the teacher.
ReplyDeleteFeatures of Formative Assessment
is diagnostic and remedial
makes the provision for effective feedback
provides the platform for the active involvement of students in their own learning.
enables teachers to adjust teaching to take into account the results of assessment
recognizes the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students, both of which are cruicial influences on learning
recognizes the need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
builds on students' prior knowledge and experience in designing what is taught.
incorporates varied learning styles into deciding how and what to teach.
encourages students to understand the criteria that will be used to judge their work
offers an opportunity to students to improve their work after feedback,
helps students to support their peers, and expect to be supported by them.
Formative Assessment is thus carried out during a course of instruction for providing continuous feedback to both the teachers and the learners for taking decisions regarding appropriate modifications in the transactional procedures and learning activities.
Is this all related to CBSC Board or in general formative assessment?
DeleteFor CBSC
DeleteSome of the main features of Formative assessment are that it is diagnostic and remedial, provides effective feedback to students, allows for the active involvement of students in their own learning, enables teachers to adjust teaching to take account of the results of assessment and recognizes the profound influence that assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students, both of which are crucial influences in learning.
ReplyDeleteIt is highly recommended that the school should not restrict the Formative assessment to only a paper-pencil test. There are other means of testing such as through quizzes, conversations, interviews, oral testing, visual testing, projects, practicals and assignments.
For 2009-2010 (Calss IX) there was only two Formative assessments for Class IX for the (remaining) second term.
Assessments done periodically will be shown to the students/ parents so as to encourage continuous participatory improvement.

In addition to academic excellence, it encourages independent learning, inquiry, risk-taking, caring, open-mindedness and intercultural understanding. It strives to adapt and innovate methods to achieve academic excellence in conformity with psychological,pedagogical and social principles.
ReplyDeleteWhat I read so far I understood that-
ReplyDeletefrom CBSC was doing continuous and comprehensive assessment and from 2017 -18 they started uniform system of assessment,now what exactly uniform system of assessment that we have to find.
Continuous And Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) is a new system of education implemented by CBSE for students of sixth to tenth grades. It removes the marking system and introduces grading system
Deletebased on a series of curricular and extracurricular activities.

DeleteCheck this website it says
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) did away with the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) scheme which was implemented in 2009 and has restored the Class 10th board examinations that will come into effect from the upcoming academic year of 2017-18.
Introduction :-
ReplyDeleteThe Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a national level board of education in India for public and private schools, controlled and managed by Union Government of India. CBSE has asked all schools affiliated to follow only NCERT curriculum. There are approximately 20,299 schools in India and 220 schools in 28 foreign countries affiliated to the CBSE.
The CBSE did away with the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) scheme which was implemented in 2009 and has restored the Class 10th board examinations that will come into effect from the upcoming academic year of 2017-18. Now, the board is introducing a Uniform System for Assessment, Examination and Report Card for classes VI to IX in order to prepare them for Class X board examinations that will be followed by all the schools that are affiliated to CBSE. The new Uniform system will be implemented keeping in mind the provisions of the Right to Education Act, 2009. The syllabus for classes 6 to 9 will now be designed on Term Assessment basis with the gradual increase in the learning of the students.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) did away with the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) scheme which was implemented in 2009 and has restored the class 10th board examination with effect from 2017-18.Tge Board has introduced a Uniform System for Assessment, Examination and Report for classes 6th to 9th in order to prepare them for Class 10th board.
ReplyDeleteThe New Uniform System vwas implemented keeping in mind the provision of the Right to Education Act, 2009.Tge syllabus for class 6th to 9th is now designed on Term Assessment Basis with the gradual increase in the learning of the student.
It was imperative vto have a new scheme of evaluation for class 6th to 9th because disparities in the system were creating problems for students whenever they migrated to another school
In short, the assessment and examination structure for classes 6th to 8th will now comprise of two terms each consisting of 100marks per subject
Next, the assessment vand examination structure for class 9th and 10th will be similar. The board examination will be marks out of 80 for every subject and 20 marks will be given as per the internal assessment
. Under Summative Assessment–I, the students will be tested internally based on the following criteria:-
DeleteExam Pattern & Marking Scheme:
1. 80 Marks Annual Examination:
Schools will conduct Class-IX Examination for 80 marks in each subject covering 100% syllabus of the subject of Class-IX only.
Student has to secure 33% marks out of 80 marks in each subject.
Marks and Grades both will be awarded for Individual subjects.
9-point grading will be same as followed by the Board in Class XII.
2. 20 Marks Internal Assessment:
Student has to secure 33% marks out of overall 20 marks earmarked in each subject. Internal assessment consists of
(i) Periodic Test:
Three Periodic Written Tests are to be conducted in each subject in an Academic Year.
Each periodic test will carry 10 marks.
Average of the best two tests to be taken for final marks submission.
Three Periodic Tests will help student prepare for the Annual Board Examination and help teachers to keep a track of the students’ learning thoughout the year.
(ii) Notebook Submission
This is to give weightage to student’s regularity, assignment completion, neatness & upkeep of notebook.
Notebook submission will hold 5 marks for Periodic Test.
It aims at inculcating the qualities of regularity, punctuality and neatness among the students.
(iii) Subject Enrichment Activity
Subject Enrichment Activity will also add 5 marks to Periodic Test.
It covers
(a) Speaking and listening skills in Language Subjects
(b) Practical lab work in Science.
(c) Math lab practical in Mathematics.
(d) Map work and project work in Social Science
These are the subject specific activities which will help in better understanding of the subject and skill development.

The overall assessment pattern for CBSE Class 9 can be summed up as below:
(i) Annual Examination for whole syllabus of the year : 80 marks
(ii) Internal Assessment: 20 marks
Periodic written tests: 10 marks
Notebook submission: 5 marks
Subject enrichment activity: 5 marks
Co-scholastic activities:
They will be graded on a five-point scale (A-E) but there will be no descriptive indicators
In 2009, CBSE established Continous and comprehensive assessemt in schools for grades 6 to 9. Many state governments have also adopted this CCA format. As per this format, the student is evaluated based on all aspects and not just academic performance. The primary reason behind the introduction of this scheme was to reduce the pressure on students and help them to perform better in the various school activities.The marks are also replaced by grades under this scheme. Grades are awarded to students based on their performance in a series of curricular, extra-curricular and academic activities. Instead of a board exam, many small tests are carried out throughout the year to continuously evaluate the student.
ReplyDeleteOver the years, the CCA scheme has received a lot of criticism from both parents and students. They complained that the scheme would increase the burden on students rather than reduce it.The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has now formally decided to remove this scheme and to introduce a new format, a uniform system of assessment, examination and report cards. The objective of this system is to standardise the teaching and evaluation system across all CBSE schools.As per the new system, all CBSE school students will be in the "uniform evaluation" process from class 6, all schools will have to follow the template of the CBSE.
DeleteImportant aspect that proves the need of this system uniform system was that disparities in the current system followed by various schools caused a problem for students who migrated from one school to the next. A uniform system of Assessment will ensure a smooth transition for students migrating from one school to another, as the number of affiliated schools has increased to huge number at present.
DeleteCBSE board Assessment:
ReplyDeleteIn the CBSE System, instead of 3 exam like Quarterly, half yearly and annually, there is continuous assessment throughout the year called Formative Assessment and one exam called Summative Assessment. Formative Assessment will consist 3 activities of 10 marks each. (1) Individual activity (making charts, model, project), (2) Group activity (Skit, Model making, Project presentation), (3) Pen and paper exam.
In Summative Assessment only written exam are conducted. Total marks per semester is 50.Two semesters add up to 100 marks for the academic year.

ReplyDeleteThe goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments:
ReplyDeletehelp students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work
help faculty recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately
Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that they have low or no point value. Examples of formative assessments include asking students to:
draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic
submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture
turn in a research proposal for early feedback
Summative assessment
The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments include:
a midterm exam
a final project
a paper
a senior recital
Information from summative assessments can be used formatively when students or faculty use it to guide their efforts and activities in subsequent courses
Parts of Internal Assessment
ReplyDeleteInternal Assessment has mainly three parts. These are:
Periodic Assessment (10 Marks)
Portfolio (5 Marks)
Subject Enrichment Activities (5 Marks)
As discussed, an internal assessment is formative in nature. The aim of this is to find out areas for improvement and assess the student comprehensively. Let us understand all these points in detail.
Periodic Assessment (10 Marks)
The main purpose of the Periodic Assessment is to assess the learning progress of students. Such Assessment done at regular intervals provides feedback and insight to teachers regarding learners’ needs and helps them to improve instruction, do remedial teaching and set curricular targets for a student or a group of students. The feedback also helps students to know their errors as well as strengths and weaknesses. The students, thus, are enabled for better learning and setting up realistic goals. In essence, this is an assessment for, of and as learning. Periodic Assessment is further divided into the following:
1. Periodic Tests (05 marks): As earlier, these would be restricted to 3 in each subject in an academic year and the average of best 2 would be taken for final submission of marks. These tests tend to follow a pattern, which is quite similar to the final end of course examination and have a gradually increasing portion of content. Hence, they also tend to prepare students for final summative exams in a more confident manner.
2. Multiple Assessment (05 marks): Multiple assessment strategies relevant to particular learning outcomes are advised over the period of curriculum transaction. The subject teachers would determine the type and frequency of these. This would make the assessment more comprehensive and provide schools/teachers flexibility to use multiple and diverse techniques to assess learners. Some examples are as below:
ReplyDeleteObservation
Oral Tests
Individual or group work
Class discussion
Field-work
Concept maps
Graphic organizers
Visual representation
Hence, the schools are given autonomy to use alternate modes of assessment as per the demand of the subject and the context towards addressing the goal of assessment for and as learning. Caution must be observed that recording of such assessment is not cumbersome and can be easily translated into individual student scores. Thus, developing simple scoring criteria and rubrics becomes of equal importance when deciding to use a particular technique. In tune with the purpose of periodic assessment i.e. to provide feedback to improve teaching and learning, it becomes of equal importance to use follow-up measures in case students are found deficient in the proficiency of relevant learning outcomes.
Portfolio (5 Marks)
The creation of portfolios is suggested to broaden the scope of learning and achieve diverse curriculum outcomes by examining a range of evidence of student performances being assessed.
Subject Enrichment Activities (5 Marks)
ReplyDeleteSubject enrichment activities aligned with the secondary school curriculum aimed at the enrichment of understanding and skill development. They provide in-depth learning that motivates students to dig deeper into the discipline. These enrichment activities need to challenge students and permit them to apply knowledge to the next level. These activities become an important instrument to learn the processes by which knowledge is generated in a particular discipline. They ought to provide an opportunity to students to explore their own interests as well along with an understanding of the nature of particular discipline. It is important that the Subject Enrichment Activities be conducted with rigour and focus. Some suggestions for this are as follows:
Languages: Listening and Speaking skills
Maths and Science: Experiments and Lab work
Social Science: Project work
Languages provide ample space and autonomy to subject teachers to develop relevant listening and speaking skills. Teachers need to use this opportunity to full advantage and use excerpts from relevant suitable literature to develop vocabulary and heighten students’ awareness and sensitivity.
The specified activities in practical work in Science and Mathematics need to be conducted in the investigatory spirit incongruence to be the spirit of the subject. The focus must shift from confirmatory nature of lab experiments to explorations that focus on the development of science processes. Students need to be encouraged to raise questions, generate hypotheses, experiment, innovate and find solutions to questions/problems encountered.
The discipline of Social Science puts the responsibility on concerned teachers to facilitate students to design and execute relevant projects. It is suggested that social science being the subject relevant to social context, projects be related to Art and culture and include the development of Life Skills too. Art is not only about self – expression but is more about perceptions a special way of understanding and responding to work. Exploring into ideas and meanings through the works of artists/ experts/ writers/ poets, the students would develop imagination and critical awareness.
ReplyDeleteThe CBSE had initiated the scheme of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) and Grading System at secondary stage in all schools affiliated to it from the session 2009-10 in Class IX. By and large the scheme has been accepted and implemented whole heartedly by the schools.
ReplyDeleteFormative assessment is meant for learning assessment, i.e., it is used to measure how much a student has learned up to a particular period.
For the effectual outcome of the formative assessment following points need to be emphasized on
• Track the achievement if each student at the individual level
• Collect information about the learner’s learning and record the same.
• Check for each student's learning needs and styles and adapt instructions accordingly
• Offer all students opportunities for improvement
• Provide feedback that will lead to positive action and help the learner to do better
Advantages of formative assessment
ReplyDeleteFormative assessments represent a revolutionary change in the contemporary educational system. Some of the striking benefits FAs are:
• They allow the educator to form a more detailed understanding of the student’s abilities
• They make provision for effective feedback
• They enable the teachers to make their teaching flexible according to the results of assessment
• They help the students to assess themselves and understand how to improve
• They enable the students to understand the criteria that will be used to judge their work
Marking scheme and number of assessment in Formative Assessments
ReplyDeleteThe suggested split up of syllabi will be followed by teachers for formative assessment.
The minimum number of formative assessment tasks as suggested in the annual plan have to be conducted. However, teachers can give more than the minimum number of tasks depending on the need and time available.
The performance of students in each task will be assessed on the basis of assessment criteria given.
The total of marks obtained by each student in the formative tasks will be calculated and reduced to 10 marks.
For instance, if three tasks of 5 marks each have been given for Formative Assessment 1 and a student obtains 3, 3 and 2 in these tasks respectively, then the total obtained by the student will be 8 out of 15.
It will be recalculated for the weightage for 10 will be (8 -r 15) x 10 = 5.33 = 5 = Grade C2 (The total will be rounded off to the next whole number if the decimal is 0.5 or more. If less, it will be ignored).
Similarly the mark will be calculated for FA2, FA3 and FA4 and the total will yield the marks in formative assessment out of 40% marks for the whole academic session.
