Continuous
and Comprehensive Evaluation
(CCE)
refers to a system of school-based evaluation of students
that covers all
aspects of a
students’ development. It
is a developmental process
of a child
which emphasizes on two fold
objectives. These objectives are continuity in
evaluation on one
hand and assessment
of broad based learning and behavioral outcomes on
the other.
The
term ‘CONTINUOUS’ is
meant to emphasize that evaluation of identified aspects of
students’ ‘growth and development’ is a continuous
process rather than an event.
It
is built into the
total teaching-learning process and spread over the entire span of academic
session.
It
means
- regularity of assessment,
- diagnosis of learning gaps,
- use of corrective measures
- 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
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 a variety of tools and techniques (both testing and
non-testing) and aims
at assessing a
learner’s development in
areas of learning like:
•
Remembering
•
Understanding
•
Applying
•
Analysing
•
Evaluating
•
Creating
Objectives
of CCE are:
•
To help develop
cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills.
•
To lay emphasis on
thought process and de-emphasise memorization.
•
To make evaluation an
integral part of teaching-learning process.
•
To use
evaluation for improvement
of students’ achievement
and teaching –learning
strategies on the
basis of regular
diagnosis followed by
remedial instruction.
•
To
use evaluation as
a quality control
device to maintain
desired standard of
performance.
•
To
determine social utility,
desirability or effectiveness
of a programme
and
take appropriate
decisions about the
learner, the process
of learning and
the
learning
environment.
•
To make the process of teaching and
learning a learner-cantered
activity.
