Teacher’s ability in continuous and comprehensive evaluation

CCE refers to a system of school-based evaluation of students that covers all aspects of students' development. The 'continuous' aspect of CCE takes care for continual and periodicity of evaluation. Continual 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) using criterion referenced tests and employing multiple techniques of evaluation. Teacher must have a thorough knowledge of the concept and objectives of continuous and comprehensive evaluation. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of School based evaluation of students that covers all aspects of student‟s development. The teacher must routinely report assessment results to students and to parents or guardians. Usually this is done through a report card. Report card should provide a profile of the child‟s progress over a specified period of time. If the results are not communicated effectively they may be misused or not used. To communicate effectively with others on matters of student assessment, the teacher must be able to use assessment terminology appropriately and must be able to articulate the meaning, limitations and implications of assessment results. On preparing a report the teacher needs to communicate and share the feed back with the child and parents. This aspect is important and needs to be done carefully and in a constructive and positive manner. Evaluation is one of the indispensable components of any curriculum. It plays a very crucial role in teaching learning process and influences the quality of teaching and learning. Only when learners are evaluated, can their weaknesses and difficulties be diagnosed and remedies be given for more effective learning. With the onset of globalization a skilled workforce is the demand of the hour and for this all round development of learner is very important. A lot of innovations are being made in schools for the same and the introduction of CCE is one among them. But mere implementation of CCE would not ensure the desired results. Findings of the present study also direct towards the same.
