Abstract

Introduced by CBSE, Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) has changed the whole pattern of evaluation, from the ability to memorize and presentation of content to higher objectives like logical thinking, Abstract thinking, application, analysis, problem solving and creativity etc. It also transformed from awarding marks to grading system. Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation means a regular assessment of both scholastic and co-scholastic aspects of pupil's learning in the school. This is believed to help reduce the pressure on the child during/before examinations as the student will have to sit for many written tests throughout the year. The introduction CCE is considered as one of the major steps taken in this regard to improve and strengthen the quality of learner evaluation. This evaluation helps in decision making regarding various aspects of teaching-learning process, promoting the students, increasing quality, efficiency and accountability.
