New Delhi: The Delhi government on Friday introduced new assessment guidelines for government, government-aided and recognised unaided schools in the national capital in which students will now be assessed for the impact of mindset curricula on their behaviour, along with other scholastic subjects.
This will be a supplement to the evaluation norms that already exist and are based on co-curricular and academic activity, news agency ANI reported.
Students will also be evaluated on their competencies in addition to their knowledge of key courses. Incorporating assessments of competencies learned through these curricula is being primarily done to emphasise the growth of social, ethical, and emotional capacities in addition to cognitive abilities. These objectives are consistent with the pedagogy and objectives of the mindset curriculum as envisioned in the NEP 2020.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio, said in a statement, “In order to prepare students for real-world challenges in a world driven by information and technology and to maximise their innate potential, schools must prioritise competency-based learning.”
“The new assessment standards will also motivate students to contribute to society’s advancement. As the curriculum has been in use for some time, it is appropriate to include it in the assessment process at this time. Further, no weightage of marks obtained will be calculated for the promotion of a student to the next higher class,” he added.
As per the new assessment guidelines, students of Classes III-VIII will be assessed for Happiness and Deshbhakti curricula, while students of Class IX and XI will be assessed for Deshbhakti and Entrepreneurship Mindset Curricula. Students of Class XI will have an additional criterion for assessment, which is their participation in Business Blasters.
Further detailing the procedure of assessment, Sisodia added that “question papers will be set in a manner where students will have to answer questions based on the application of concepts of this curriculum in real-life/unfamiliar situations. Along with that, he said students will also have unique project works based on the curriculum.
