II. Evaluation of Scholastic aspect:

Part 1: Scholastic Areas

Evaluation of Academic Subjects in Classes VI to VIII.

Six assessments are proposed:

Type of assessment	Percentage of weighting in academic session	Term wise weighting
	First Term
Formative Assessment 1    Formative Assessment 2 Summative Assessment 1	10%    10% 30%	FA1+ FA2 = 20%      SA1= 30%
	Second Term
Formative Assessment 1    Formative Assessment 2 Summative Assessment 1	10%    10% 30%	FA3+ FA4= 20%      SA 2= 30%

 

Total: Formative Assessments (FA) = FA1+FA2+ FA3+FA4 = 40%

Summative Assessments (SA) = SA1+SA2 = 60%

All across the schools, the most commonly used tools/techniques are those developed by teachers themselves. Among these are paper-pencil tests/tasks, written and oral tests, questions on pictures, simulated activities and discussion with students.

 

*(i) Teachers will arrive at the Formative Assessment using an acceptable method for combining scores.

(ii) They will be given opportunity to develop this practice during implementation.
