Book Description
Foreword

Following the approval of the National Curriculum Framework, 2005. NCERT has published innovative textbooks which are based on radically reconceptualised syllabi for different subject areas. The new approach attempts to infuse subject knowledge with the awareness of children's own learning strategies. While reforms in teacher training are being initiated as a parallel process, the challenge of changing the traditional system of examination and evaluation has emerged as a major focus. It was felt that the earlier attempts to define minimum levels of learning need to be revisited, with a view to developing a holistic assessment policy. Such a policy must take into account individual differences and the impact which socio-cultural constraints make on children's ability to make sense of knowledge in different subject areas.

This Source Book signifies NCERT's resolve to provide to teachers and administrators a new vision and approach for assessing children's progress in a system which is accustomed to classifying and labelling children on the basis of a test or examination. Such a system makes it difficult for teachers to perceive each child's progress as an individual trajectory. It also discourages the teacher from recognising the important role that a cooperative classroom culture plays in recognising learning. We hope that this Source Book will encourage such a recognition and will also provide a means to improve record-keeping procedures in primary classes.

We earnestly hope that the Source Book will receive attention in all segments of our complex system of education in India, both in its Centrally-run components, such as Kendriya Vidyalayas, and State- controlled primary schools of different types. The vision of a universalised system of education implies patience and kindness for every child. Irrespective of her or his style and pace of learning. Only a system which is kind and gentle to every child can ensure that national progress receives inputs from every citizen.

The development of this Source Book was an arduous collaborative exercise. We wish to thank all the experts and institutions which participated in this exercise at different stages. With assistance from UNESCO, NCERT organised an International Workshop on Assessment. With the cooperation of UNICEF, an earlier draft of this Source Book was tried out in ten States in the country. We wish to thank the regional office of UNICEF, the State Project Directors of SSA, representatives of SCERT's and the district level teams which made the trial of the draft Source Book a successful research endeavour.
