CONTINUOUS AND COMPREHENSIVE
EVALUATION (CCE)
Evalution
has to be very comprehensive in system of evaluation which aims at many sided
development of the personality of the child. “ the school of todays concerns
itself not only with the intellectual persuits but also with the emotional and
social development of the child, physical and mental health , his social
adjustment and other equally important aspects of his life; in a word with an
allround development of his personality”. Writes the muthaliyar commission(1952).
It
is now agreed that evaluation is a continuous process, forms an integral part
of the total system of education. Several important aspects of the students
growth that cannot be measured by written examination, and other methods such
as observation techniques, oral tests and practical examinations, have to be
deviced for collecting evidence.
In
the words of Indian education commission (1964-1966), “ Evaluation should
concern itself with pupil’s physical development, personality and character,
social achievement, academic achievement and achievement in various types of
skills”. This is what would comprise a comprehensive programme of evaluation in
schools. Again , the commission is of the opinion that evaluation is a
continuous process; it forms an integral part of the total system of education
and is intimately related to educational objectives. It exercises great
influence on the pupil’s study habits and the teacher’s methods of instruction
and thus helps only to measure educational achievement but also to improve it.
In the words of H.H. Remmers and others, “ A comprehensive programme of
evaluation provides an effective means of securing a developmental and cross – sectional
picture of the characteristics of each pupil in the school.” Administrators,
counsellors and teachers will be greatly benefited in the work of guidance and
instruction if they are able to collect data about all dimensions of pupil’s
personality and achievement.
The
modern concept of evaluation suggest that it should be continuous. The students
must be evaluated continuously through out the academic year. Project works,
practicals, collections, assignments, seminars, internal examinations etc. To
be considered while evaluating the students.
Evaluation
also to be comprehensive in nature. The traditional examination system evaluate
the students achievement in scholastic area only but success of an individual
depend upon his overall development of the individuality. Hence co-scholastic
area also to be considered while evaluating the students. Student’s
achievements in sports and games, arts and work experience etc. Should give due
importance in evaluation. Personal and social qualities of the students also to
be considered to evaluate the student’s performance
The ‘continuous and comprehensive’ evaluation
implies two interrelated usages. Continuous
means evaluation of students throughout his academic career and
comprehensive means evaluation of the all aspects of the individual and group.
However it does not de-emphasis the importance of term-end evaluation. We can
sumamrise the modern concept of continuous and comprehensive evaluation as
