Grading
It is widely felt that if numerical marks are awarded instead of grades
after evaluation, the seriousness towards implementation of the WEP and
expected levels of attainment by the students will be enhanced. This
issue has been debated time and again and has been explicitly dealt in a
document entitled “Grading in Schools” brought out by the NCERT
(2000b).
The Work Education activities have multiple dimensions-
intellectual, emotional, spiritual, ethical, aesthetic, physical, etc., which
can be broadly categorized into cognitive and non-cognitive capacities.
Assigning marks to the learning outcomes in all these dimensions will be
cumbersome and a difficult task for an evaluator.
It is, therefore,
suggested that the assessment of cognitive and non-cognitive learning
outcomes may be carried out by the institution and for awarding grades,
the method of direct grading may be employed.
Grades awarded by the schools in Classes X and XII will be
reflected in the Board Certificates. It is, therefore, incumbent on the
schools to draw a good scientific programme for the evaluation of Work
Education.
