CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE
ASSESSMENT
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of school based
evaluation of student that covers all aspects of student development. It is a developmental
process of student which emphasizes son two fold objectives. These objectives are continuity
in evaluation and assessment of broad based learning and behavioural outcomes on the other.

The term ‘continuous’ is meant to emphasise that evaluation of identified aspects of students
‘growth and development’ is a continuous process rather than an event, built into the total
teaching-learning process and spread over the entire span of academic session. It means
regularity of assessment, frequency of unit testing, diagnosis of learning gaps, use of
corrective measures, retesting and feedback of evidence to teachers and students for their self
evaluation.

The second term ‘comprehensive’ means that the scheme attempts to cover both the
scholastic and the co-scholastic aspects of the students ‘growth and development. Since
abilities, attitudes and aptitudes can manifest themselves in forms other than the written
word, the term refers to application of variety of tools and techniques (both testing and non-
testing) and aims at assessing a learner’s development in areas of learning.

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.

Scholastic aspects include subject specific areas, whereas Co-Scholastic aspects include
Life Skills, Co-Curricular Activities, Attitudes and Values

Assessment in Scholastic areas is done informally and formally using multiple techniques of
evaluation continually and periodically. The diagnostic evaluation takes place at the end of
unit/term as a test. The causes of poor performance in some units are diagnosed using
diagnostic tests. These are followed with appropriate interventions followed by retesting

CCA OF CBSE, ICSE & SSC

Assessment in Co-Scholastic areas is done using multiple techniques on the basis of

identified criteria, while assessment in Life Skills is done on the basis of Indicators of
Assessment and Checklists

FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Formative Assessment is a tool used by the teacher to continuously monitor student

progress in a none threatening, supportive environment. It involves regular descriptive
feedback, a chance for the student to reflect on the performance, take advice and improve
upon it. Itinvolves the 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.

Formative Assessment is carried out during a course of instruction for providing continuous
feedback to both the teachers and the learners. It discontinuous and Comprehensive
Evaluation

Summative Assessment is carried out at the end of a course of learning. It measures or

‘sums-up’ how much a student has learned from the course. It is usually a graded test, i.e.,
it is marked according to a scale or a setoff grades. Assessment that is predominantly of
summative nature will not by itself be able to yield a valid measure of the growth and
development of the student. It can only certify the level of achievement at a given point of
time.

The paper pencil tests are basically a one-time mode of assessment and to exclusively rely on
it to decide about the development of a student is not only unfair but also unscientific.
Overemphasis on examination marks focussing on only scholastic aspects makes children
assume that assessment is different from learning, resulting in the ‘learn and forget’
syndrome. Besides encouraging unhealthy competition, the overemphasis on Summative
Assessment system also produces enormous stress and anxiety among the learners.

CCA OF CBSE

The comprehensive component of CCE takes care of assessment of all round

development of the child’s personality. It includes assessment in scholastic and co-
scholastic aspects in pupils’ growth. Students will be evaluated both in scholastic and
non-scholastic areas.

1. As per the new pattern, students will be assessed in two areas - Scholastic and Co-
scholastic.

For assessment of the scholastic areas, the academic year is divided in two terms and
two types of tests will be conducted to assess the academic subjects as given in Table 1
below. Term wise weight age

Each term to have 2 formative assessments and one summative assessment in

each subject.
Six assessments are proposed:

Class Term1 (April – September) Term-2 (October – March)

Formative assessment

The formative assessment is a tool for a teacher to continuously monitor the progress of
a student. The assessment (in secondary) may include quizzes, conversations, oral
testing, visual testing, projects, practical, assignments, class test, class-work, home work
etc. The teacher is free to take any number of formative tests in his/her subject during
the year but only four formative tests will be taken into account in each subject.
Performance of the students will b reflected in grades.

In primary classes the formative tests will be in the form of –Dictation, oral test, class
test, home work, class work, assignments & projects (III to V), Memory test, Story
telling, Quiz (III to V), Elocution (III to V) or any other tool found suitable by the
teacher. The formative tests are purely informal, however, the teachers will inform the
date and time of test before hand. These tests will be taken in the regular periods only.

Summative Assessment

5
CCA OF CBSE, ICSE & SSC

The Summative assessment is the terminal assessment of performance at the end of

instruction. Under the end term Summative assessment, the students will be tested
internally. The Summative assessment will be in the form of a pen-paper test conducted
by the schools themselves. It will be conducted at the end of each term twice in a year.
The schedule for the same is given below.

Grading system

All assessment with regard to the academic status of the students shall be done in marks
and overall assessment will be given in grades in 9 point scale in secondary (classes IX &
X), 7 point scale for middle school (classes VI to VIII) and 5 point scale for primary
(classes I to V). The report cards will carry the grades only.
The performance of the students in the primary classes will also be shown in GRADES (5
point scale) as per previous practice. The grades will be given on the basis of performance
of the students in all the 6 tests. The new grading system is given below in Table-
3.
