COURSE OF STUDY : CCE PATTERN
St. Mary’s School, Gursarai follows the syllabus of CBSE, Delhi based on the Continuous
and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) Scheme that covers all the aspects of a student’s
learning.
The Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation Scheme refers to a school based evaluation
of students that covers all the aspects of a student’s growth. Continuous means
regular assessment, frequency of unit testing, analysis of learning gaps, applying
corrective measure, retesting and giving feedback to teachers and students for their
self-evaluation etc. Comprehensive on the other hand attempts to cover both the
scholastic and co-scholastic aspects of a student’s growth and development with
both these aspects of the evaluation assessed through formative and summative assessments.
The Features are:
The ‘continuous’ aspect of CCE takes care of ‘continual’ and ‘periodic’ aspect of
evaluation.
Continual means evaluation of students in begining of instructions and evaluation
during the teaching process (formative evaluation) done informally using
numerous technique of evaulation.
Periodic means assessment of performance done frequently at the end of term (summative
evaluation).
The ‘comprehensive’ module of CCE takes care of assessment of overall development
of the student’s personality. It includes assessment in scholastic as well as co-scholastic
aspects of the student’s growth.
The major emphasis of CCE is on the continuous growth of students ensuring their
intellectual, emotional and social development. Therefore, it will not be just limited
to evaluation of student’s scholastic attainments. CCE uses assessment as a means
of motivating learners to provide feedback and follow up work to improve upon the
learning in the classroom.
