CCE Manual VI - VIII - CBSE

Assessing Co-Scholastic AreasContinuous and Comprehensive EvaluationWhile you rate such behaviour, please remember ‘5’ stands for desirablebehaviour and less than ‘1’ for the undesirable ones. For example in theabove case Sarbari gets ‘5’, but Shanti gets ‘2’ or ‘1’. Although youwould observe on a day to day basis and record, you would onlyaccumulate it at the end of the term and then convert into a grade.All these statements reveal certain styles of behaviour of a student, e.g.effective communication of Sarbari, excellent interpersonal skills exhibitedby Mohammad and Sara’s ability to manage her emotions, etc.Also refer to the Life Skills Manual for teachers brought out by CBSE forClasses VI to VIII. It has a few exemplar activities for all Life Skills whichteachers can do with their students. Others can also be created by theteachers themselves.Rating at the end of the term: In the following pages, we present youbehaviour descriptors for each of the Co-Scholastic dimensions. Humanbehaviour, as you know, is not a binary function; does not appear in‘yes’ or ‘no’. It differs in degrees. Hence, rate each behaviour on fivepointscale once in a session –GradeGrade PointsA 4.1-5.0B 3.1-4.0C 2.1-3.0D 1.1-2.0E 0 -1.0How to calculate Grades in Co-Scholastic Areas1. Each student will be graded on each of the 10 Life Skills, Work Education,Visual and Performing Arts, 03 Attitudes, Values, 02 Co-curricular Activitiesand 02 Health and Physical Education (HPE) Activities.2. Maximum score for each Life Skill is 25, for Work Education, Visual andPerforming Arts and Attitudes is 50, for Values is 200 and for Co-curricularActivities and HPE is 50.3. Before assigning the Grades on each component using the conversion table,please calculate the average or grade points by dividing the total scoreobtained by a student by number of items in that component. For example,for a student who has a score of 15 in Self-awareness; you need to divide itby the number of descriptors, i.e. 5; the average or grade point is 3.0;hence grade is C.4. A Sample Sheet to calculate grades in Co-Scholastic Areas is given after thediscussion of the indicators.44
