Holistic education demands development of all aspects of individual’s personality. It is unfortunate that not much attention and emphasis is given to the development of interest. Hobbies and passion of learners. Undoubtedly, focusing on excellence in academic aspect alone results in lopsided development of personality. It is a revolutionary step on the part of the CBSE to introduce the CCE scheme which now is being adopted by a number of other boards for its precision.

With CCE aiming at all round development of the child’s personality, it is expected that a student will be able to take up competitive examinations in right earnest. It may be clearly understood that introduction of CCE does not mean any less emphasis on academic attainment. Students will still be required to do well in studies. However due to acquisition of additional life skills, like thinking and emotional skills, they are expected to meet different life situations with greater maturity, linking their academic skill with practical life situations.

What is CCE?

CCE stands for continuous and comprehensive Evaluation scheme and refers to a school based evaluation of students that covers all aspects of a student’s development.

Continuous means regular. it implies regular assessments , together with analysis of learning gaps, applying corrective measures , retesting and giving feed back to teachers and students for self –evaluation etc.

On the other hand, comprehensive attempts to cover both the scholastic and process being assessed through formative and summative Assessments. Broadly, CCE assesses a child’s growth in two areas – Scholastic and
Co-scholastic.

The term Scholastic refers to those aspects which are related to intellect. It is related to the assessment of learners in curricular subjects. It includes assignments, projects practical etc.

Summative Assessment (SA)

This is the most traditional way of testing, that is paper –pen text based on the curriculum taught during the specified time period. Summative Assessment is characterized as assessment of learning and is contrasted with Formative Assessment. This is cumulative in nature and is utilized to determine whether students have met the specified goals of the course. The characteristics of Summative Assessment can be discussed as fallow:

  1. It tends to use well-defined evaluation designs.
  2. It provides descriptive analysis in order to give a grade, all the activities done throughout the year are taken into account.
  3. It tends to stress local effects.
  4. It is ant depressive and not reactive as far as possible.
  5. It is positive, tending to stress what students can do rather than what they cannot.

Summative Assessment provides information if the learners learn what they were supposed to learn after using the instructional if the learners learn what they were looking at ‘how they performed’.
