Edgar Dale (April 27, 1900 – March 8, 1985) was a U.S. educationist who developed the
famous Cone of Experience.
Edgar Dale, an expert in audiovisual education, created a model in his 1946 book Audio-
Visual Methods in Teaching that he named the Cone of Experience to discuss various
modalities/channels of imparting information.
Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience is a learning model that suggests that people learn best by
doing, followed by observing, then listening, reading, and finally visualizing.
The cone is divided into 11 levels, with the most concrete experiences at the bottom and
the most abstract experiences at the top.
According to that Learners generally remember the following:
1) 10% of what they read.
2) 20% of what they hear.
3) 30% of what they see.
4) 50% of what they hear and see.
5) 70% of what they say and write.
6) And 90% of what do.
Levels of the Cone of Experience: (RHT Hindi Sanskrit 2023)
1. Direct and Purposeful Experiences - This is the most concrete level of experience, where
learners participate in an activity or event. For example, a student might learn about the water
cycle by taking a field trip to a river.
2. Contrived Experiences - This level of experience involves learners interacting with a
simulated environment. For example, a student might learn about the solar system using a
globe or a planetarium.
3. Dramatized Experiences - This level of experience involves learners watching or
participating in a dramatization of an event or concept. For example, a student might learn
about the American Revolution by watching a play or participating in a reenactment.
4. Visual Experiences - This level of experience involves learners viewing images or videos.
For example, a student might learn about the rainforest by watching a documentary.
5. Audio Experiences - This level of experience involves learners listening to audio recordings.
For example, a student might learn about the history of music by listening to a podcast.
6. Reading Experiences - This level of experience involves learners reading text. For example,
a student might learn about the Civil War by reading a book.
7. Discussion Experiences - This level of experience involves learners talking about a topic
with others. For example, a student might learn about the different types of government by
participating in a class discussion.
8. Expository Experiences - This level of experience involves learners listening to or reading
an explanation of a concept. For example, a student might learn about the Pythagorean
Theorem by listening to a lecture.
9. Symbolic Experiences - This level of experience involves learners using symbols to
represent concepts. For example, a student might learn about the periodic table by using
symbols to represent the different elements.
10. Verbal Symbols - This is the most abstract level of experience, where learners are only
presented with words. For example, a student might learn about the definition of a word by
reading it in a dictionary.
11. Abstract Concepts - This is the highest level of abstraction, where learners are only
presented with ideas or concepts. For example, a student might learn about the concept of
freedom by reading a philosophical essay.
Modes of learning in Cone of Experience
In Edgar Dale introduced the Cone of Experience demonstrate a progression from direct, first-
hand experience to pictorial representation and on to purely abstract, symbolic expression.
1) Memory level
2) Understanding level
3) Reflective level
Memory level: Memory level is the most thoughtless level of teaching; it’s only concerned
with sharpening memory or the mental ability to grasp information.
Exponent: - Herbert
This level of teaching emphasizes more on rote memorization rather than learning
(Thoughtless Teaching).
Teaching at memory level is considered to be the lowest level of teaching
Bookish Knowledge is provided to students.
Used at Initial stage of Learning.
It enables learner to retain and retrieve the knowledge attained.
The thinking ability does not play any role.
Students only cram the facts, information, formulas, and laws that are taught to them.
The teaching is nothing but learning the subject matter by rote.
The role of the teacher is prominent and that of the student is secondary.
The study material is organized and pre-planned.
The teacher presents the study material in sequential order plays the dominant and
active role.
Advantages-
• It is useful for children at lower classes because their intellect is under development.
• Teacher is free to make choices of subject matter, plan it and present it at his will.
• The knowledge attained at this level forms the basis for the future learning.
• It acts as an initial step for understanding and reflective level of teaching.
• Help learners to learn new concepts.
• It is pre- requisite for Understanding level.
Disadvantages–
• It does not contribute in development of learner’s capabilities.
• Knowledge gained at this level does not prove to be helpful in solving real life situations
as it doesn’t improve learner’s capabilities.
• Teacher plays the dominant and active role which makes it less interactive and one sided.
• This level does not provide any intrinsic motivation to learners.
• It promotes cramming and ignores understanding of concept.
Reflective level
Exponent: - Hunt
This level is considered as the highest level of teaching as it includes both memory and
understanding level of teaching.( Highly thoughtful)
It is a problem centric approach therefore students are assumed to adopt research approach
to solve a particular problem.
Classroom environment is open and independent.
It comprises highest level of learning by developing new insight.
Subject matter is unstructured and open ended so helps in development of insight
It is the highest level of learning that includes both MLT and ULT.
Students go beyond the normal understanding of the concept; they are keen on doing
proper research and adopting a problem-centric approach to learning.
The reflective level of teaching is to encourage students to solve their problems by logic,
reasoning, and imagination.
The students occupy the primary spot, and the teachers come secondary.
The classroom environment is ‘open and independent,’ and students are self-motivated to
adopt this new level of learning.
To test, teachers should include high-order cognitive skills like reasoning, creativity,
problem-thinking, and critical thinking
Advantages–
• Learner centered approach.
• Teaching at this level is highly thoughtful.
• Develops intrinsic motivation in learners.
• Develops problem solving ability.
• Useful for gifted learners.
• Caters creativity.
Disadvantages–
• It is limited to higher classes as it requires high order thinking abilities.
• Puts extra burden on teachers.
• It is a time consuming process.
• Not suitable for slow learners.
Morris L. Biggie (1976) has added one more level under the rubric ‘autonomous
development’. The four levels of teaching and learning may be shown on a continuum in the
following way:
2. Personal Models
This model focuses on the personal development of the individuals and helps them to
develop positive relationship with the environment.
They are concerned with human feelings and emotions. This group of approaches
acknowledges the uniqueness of each learner.
Carl Roger’s Non-directive Teaching Model and Self –Actualization by Abraham
Maslov would be good examples for this group.
3. Social Interaction Models
The models in this family capitalize on our nature as social creatures to further learning and
to expand our ability to relate productively to one another.
Essentially, ‘classroom management’ is a matter of developing cooperative relationships in
the classroom.
These models also emphasize that human learning occurs in social settings and through
modeled behaviors and social exchanges.
The Schaftel’s Role Playing Model is one of the more popular models in this group.
Donald Oliver’s the Jurisprudence Model also exemplifies a form of social learning.
4. Behavioural Models
These models concentrate on observable behavior and clearly defined task and on
communicating progress to the student.
Behavioral techniques are amenable to highly structured outcomes that concentrate on
observable objectives such as learning to read, physical skills, behavioral and emotional
adaptations and restructuring.
B. F. Skinner is one of the more well know developers of behavioral techniques like his
Operant Conditioning. Anxiety reduction by David Rinn, Joshep Wolpe and John
Masters is another example.
Some Extension
1. Concept Attainment Model
This model has developed by Jerome Burner. It enables the learners to describe similarities
and relationship among things of the environment.
Burner’s main interest was to elucidate the thinking Effectiveness of adults who already
had a grasp of concepts.
It is designed primarily to develop inductive reasoning, but also for concept development
and analysis.
2. Inductive Teaching Model
Hilda Taba has developed inductive teaching model.
It develop mental abilities and gives emphasis on concept formation.
The teaching activities are arranged in a logical sequence in advance.
3. Suchman’s Inquiry Training Model
The development of independent inquiry skills among childrenis possible through Richard
Suchman’s Inquiry Training Model.
Development of Science and Technology is based upon the investigation.
The model is interested in helping students to develop the intellectual discipline and skills
necessary to raise questions and search out answers stemming from their curiosity.
4. Biological Science Inquiry Training Models
Joseph J.Schwab developed biological science inquiry training model. This model is used
by Biological science curriculum study (BSCS).
The goal of biological science inquiry training model is to teach students to process
information according to the research biologists.
5. Developmental Teaching Model
Jean Piaget (1952) has developed this model.
It gives importance to intellectual development.
This model was based on piagetian theory and has wide application in both cognitive and
social development to all subject areas.
6. Advance Organizer Teaching Model
This model was developed by David P.Ausubel (1963).
It improves the effectiveness of lectures and other presentations.
David Ausubel has built and tested this method of using concepts to improve learning from
lectures and readings.
7. Memory Model
Jerry Lucas and Harry Lorayne (1974) designed the memory model.
Memorizing and remembering are active pursuits.
The capacity to take in information to integrate it meaning fully, and later to retrieve it at
will is the product of successful memory learning.
12) Three Phases of Teaching
In 1966, philip jackson distinguished between pre-active and inter-active phases of teaching.
and thus phases of teaching is also called philip jackson’s analysis of teaching.
The three phases of teaching are: three phases of teaching
1. Pre-active phase
2. Inter-active phase
3. Post-active phase
1. Pre-active Phase:
This phase is exclusively related to the analysis of the teaching task at the time of planning.
In the pre-active phase of teaching, the planning of teaching is carried out.
This phase includes all those activities, which a teacher performs before classroom
teaching or before entering the classroom.
Teaching Operation in Pre-active Stage
1) Formulation of Goals
2) Selection of Content
3) Styles of Teaching
4) Selection of Teaching Strategies
5) Selection of Teaching Tactics
Inter-active stage
This stage includes all those behaviors, activities or things done between the time of the
teacher’s entry in the classroom and the time when the lesson or subject content has been
delivered by him.
Teacher gives verbal and non-verbal inspiration, explains different facts of the lesson, asks
questions and tells the answers.
In this stage, teacher implements Notes the already prepared teaching.
The teacher uses a variety of teaching approaches, array compositions, teaching tips to
actual format the teaching preparation done in pre-active stage.
Operations of Teaching during Inter-active Stage
1) Sizing-up the Class
2) Diagnosis of Learner
3) Development of Strategies of Teaching
4) Treatment given to the learners
Post-active stage
In this stage, teacher evaluates the task learned after teaching has been finished.
Post-active phase is the one that involves teacher’s activities such as analyzing evaluation
results to determine student’s learning, especially their problems in understanding specific
areas, to reflect on the teaching by self, and to decide on the necessary change to be
brought into the system in the next instructional period.
Operation of Teaching during Post-active stage:
1) Defining the exact dimensions of the changes caused by teaching.
2) Selecting appropriate testing devices and techniques.
3) Changing the strategies in terms of evidences gathered.
LPP B1: Learning as a process and as an outcome
Learning as a process
Learning as a process refers to way of acquiring new information and elaborating one’s
own understanding of using it.
It is a series of steps designed to lead to a particular outcome or goal.

1) Self worth : Self worth is the opinion you have about yourself and the value you place on
yourself.
2) Self image: How you see yourself or perceive yourself
3) Ideal self: The ideal self is the person that you would like to be
3) Positive Regard: Rogers believed that we need to be regarded positively by others; we need
to feel valued, respected, treated with affection and loved.
4) Experiential learning: Rogers introduced the idea of two different types of learning in
his theory: cognitive and experiential.
Experiential learning is the active process in which students learn information through
discovery and exploration. It is a student centred approach, addressing each student's needs
and wants.
❑ A congruent therapist who provides unconditional positive regard and empathy can
stimulate change in a vulnerable person to become a creative, responsible, developing
individual
6) Self Actualization
Every person wants to achieve his goal, wishes and desire in life. When he does, so self
actualization take place.
Self actualization occurs when ideal self is congruent with real self. Roger called the self
actualized person "fully functioning person.
Constructivist (Piaget and Vygotsky)
Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four different
stages of mental development.
Vygotsky’s Constructivism:
Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) was a Russian psychologist.
He is considered as the father of social constructivist theory.
He is known for his Social Interaction, MKO, ZPD, Scaffolding, Culture , Language
Emphasizes the contribution of social and cultural factors to the cognitive development of
the individual
1) Social interaction : Social interaction plays a fundamental role in the process of cognitive
development. The child’s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later,
on the individual level.
Social Level is between people which is called as interpsychological (Knowledge through
contacts and interactions with people)
Individual level which is inside the child – called intrapsychological(Inside the child -
knowledge by adding own personal value)
2) The More Knowledgeable Other (MKO): The MKO refers to anyone who has a better
understanding or a higher ability level than the learner, with respect to a particular task, process,
or concept.
The MKO is normally thought of as being a teacher, coach, or older adult, but the MKO
could also be peers, a younger person, or even computers.
3) Zone of Proximal Development : The Zone of Proximal Development is defined as the
space between what a learner can do without assistance and what a learner can do with adult
guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.
❑ When a learner is close to mastering a skill set required to complete a task, but still needs
the guidance of an expert to do so, they are considered to be in their zone of proximal
development.
Basic Conditions of Learning: Learning is possible under certain desirable conditions, such as
physical, psychological or sociological.
❑ Gagné (1985) describes two different types of conditions that exist in learning: internal and
external.
❑ Internal Conditions: Capabilities that already exist in a learner before any new learning
begins make up the internal conditions necessary for learning.
❑ External conditions: External conditions include different stimulus’s that exist outside the
learner such as the environment, the teacher, and the learning situation.
1) Readiness :
Readiness is the state of being prepared to act. An example of readiness is the state of a
girl well-prepared to go on her first camping trip
It points out that one learns only when he is physically and mentally ready for it. In other
words, preparatory set on the part of the organism is an important condition for learning.
❑ If students are not willing to learn, forcing them to learn will cause dissatisfaction and
annoyance.
2) Maturation:
Maturation means that children are able to do at certain stages of development certain task .
❑ Maturation is the natural development or an increase in competency and adoptability in
certain stage.
Characteristics:
Maturation is primarily based on heredity.
Maturation is automatic process for behavioural change.
There is age-limit for the process of maturation.
Motivation has no effect on maturation
It involves both structural and functional changes or performance
Conditions for Learning:
1) Maturation is an essential condition of learning.
2) learning must begin when the child is mature enough
3) If learning precedes maturation, there is more wastage of time and energy.
4) Maturation makes learning possible - Learning takes place only if the stage for that type of
learning has been achieved through a process of maturation.
5) Maturation sets limit to what a person can be or become - Because of limitations in the
hereditary endowment of the child, development cannot go beyond a certain point even
when learning is encouraged
6) Variations in patterns of development - The different environmental influences children
experience affect the pattern of development. Were human development due to maturation
alone as in some animal species, individuality would be reduced to a minimum.
7) Deprivation of learning opportunities limits development-When the environment limits
opportunities for learning, children will be unable to reach their hereditary potentials.
8) Effectiveness of learning depends upon proper timing-Regardless of how much effort
children put into learning, they cannot learn until they are developmentally ready to learn.
9) Modification of behaviour - For both learning and maturation the purpose is modification
of behaviour. However, learned behaviour differs from behavioral attributed to maturation.
10) The understanding of complexity of changes that take place as a result of learning and
maturation would make a teacher and his/her teaching effective
11) Maturation levels have implications on the curriculum selection.
12) Curriculum should be chosen according to the level of learning and maturation. For
example, demonstration method for six to twelfth, play way method for little children,
lecture method for graduates and post graduates.
3) Learning Tasks:
Learning Tasks are opportunities you create for students to engage with the content you're
teaching
Enable students to engage with and develop their skills, knowledge and understandings
Learning tasks play an important role in instructional settings.
They serve to activate and control learning processes in order to facilitate successful
learning.
Prompting the learners to engage intensively in the subject matter.
Learners receive feedback on how well they performed on a learning task and guidance on
how to acquire the relevant information.
4) Motivation
Motivation is derived from the word 'movere' which means to move. It is the process of
arousing action, sustaining activity in progress, regulating and directing pattern of activity
through energy transformations within the tissues of the organism.
Thompson, "Motivation covers any and every factor of the spring of human action from the
beginning to the end i.e., attitudes, bias, urge, impulse, cravings, incentive, desire, wish,
interest, will, intention, longing, aim."
Guilford, "Motivation is an internal factor or condition that tends to initiate and sustain
activity."
Johnson, "Motivation is the influence of general pattern of activities indicating and directing
behaviour of the organism.
McDonald, "Motivation is an energy change within the person characterised by effective
arousal and anticipatory goal reactions.
Skinner, "Motivation in school learning involves arousing, persisting, sustaining and
directing desirable behaviour."
Process in Motivation
The elements of the process of motivation are: (1) Motivates, (2) Behaviour, (3) Goal, (4)
Feedback.
1) Motive:- Motives prompt learner to action. Motives determine the general direction of
learner's behaviour.
2) Behaviour:- Behaviour is a series of activities of an individual. It generally motivated by a
desire to achieve a goal.
3) Goal:- Motives are directed towards goals. Goals are the ends which provide satisfaction to
learners.
4) Feedback:- Feedback may be in the form of reduction or increase in tension.
Nature of Motivation
Motivation is an internal feeling which influences the human behavior.
Motivation is affected by way the individual is motivated.
Motivation results in achieving goals positively in the organization.
Motivation is related to satisfaction.
Motivation can be positive and negative.
Motivation is a complex process as the individuals are heterogeneous in their expectations,
perceptions and reactions.
Motivation is stronger when it springs from a person’s needs which are consistent with his
values.
It is a Continuous Process
Motivation is associated with the psychological aspects of human inclinations, desires,
goals, and behavioral conducts.
Goals Lead to Motivation
Types of Motivation:
1. Extrinsic motivation
Extrinsic motivation refers to the behavior of individuals to perform tasks and learn new
skills because of external rewards or avoidance of punishment.
A type of motivation which is induced by outside forces, commonly of financial nature or
reward is called as extrinsic motivation.
Extrinsic Motivation Examples
1. Studying because you want to get a good grade
2. Helping others because you hope for praise
3. Going to new places because you want to post it on social media
4. Pursuing a certain degree because you want to make your parents proud
2. Intrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation refers to the act of doing something that does not have any obvious
external rewards.
You do it because it’s enjoyable and interesting to you, not because of any outside
incentive or pressures, like rewards or deadlines.
Intrinsic motivation is performing an activity for its own sake rather than the desire for
some external reward or out of some external pressure.
Intrinsic Motivation Examples
1. Playing sports because you enjoy how they make you feel
2. Investing money because you want to become financially independent
3. Traveling because you want to explore different cultures
4. Working in a team because you enjoy collaboration
5. Learning about personal development because you want to improve yourself
6. Studying because you are curious about the topics
Theories of Motivation:
1. Content theories:
The content theory of motivation, also known as need theory mainly focuses on the internal
factors that energies and direct human behavior.
In general, such theories regard motivation as the product of internal drives that compel an
individual to act or move (hence, “motivate”) toward the satisfaction of individual needs.
Needs are deficiencies that energies or trigger behaviors to satisfy those needs.
The stronger your needs, the more motivated you are to satisfy them.
Some of the major content theories are:
1) Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory
2) ERG Theory (Alderfer)
3) Herzberg’s Two Factors Theory
4) McClelland Theory of Need
5) Porter and Lawler Theory
2. Process theories:
Process theories of motivation provide an opportunity to understand the thought processes
that influence behaviour.
It explains how workers select behavioral actions to meet their needs and determines their
choices.
The major process theories of motivation are:
1. Equity theory (Adams)
2. Expectancy theory (Vroom)
3. Goal-setting theory (Lock)
4. Reinforcement theory (B.F. Skinner)
5) Method
❑ The term teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management
strategies used for classroom instruction.
❑ The word "Method" has been derived from Latin which word means, "Mode" or "Way".
❑ The process of interpreting the world of knowledge to pupils mind is called the method of
teaching.
Teacher-Centred Approaches: Teachers are the main authority figure in a teacher-
centred instruction model. Students are viewed as “empty vessels” who passively
receive knowledge from their teachers through lectures and direct instruction.
E.g. Lecture Method, Team teaching, TV or video presentation
Learner-centred Approaches: A learner-centred approach views learners as active
agents in which students solve problems, answer questions, formulate questions of their
own, discuss, explain, debate, or brainstorm during class.
E.g. Assignments, tutorials, programmed instruction, heuristic method,
personalized system of instruction
Important Methods of Teaching
1. Lecture Method
A lecture is an oral presentation of information by the instructor.
It is the method of relaying factual information which includes principles, concepts, ideas
and all theoretical knowledge about a given topic.
In a lecture the instructor tells, explains, describes or relates whatever information the
trainees are required to learn through listening and understanding.
It is therefore teacher-centred.
The instructor is very active, doing all the talking.
Trainees on the other hand are very inactive, doing all the listening.
Despite the popularity of lectures, the lack of active involvement of trainees limits its
usefulness as a method of instruction.
The lecture method of instruction is recommended for trainees with very little knowledge
or limited background knowledge on the topic.
It is also useful for presenting an organized body of new information to the learner.
Advantages
1. Saves time.
2. Permits flexibility.
3. Requires less rigid space requirement.
4. Permits adaptability.
5. Permits versatility.
6. Permits better centre over contact and sequence.
Disadvantages
1. Involves one-way communication.
2. Poses problems in skill teaching.
3. Encourages student passiveness.
4. Poses difficulty in gauging student reaction.
5. Require highly skilled instructors.
Discussion method
Discussion involves two-way communication between participants. In the classroom
situation an instructor and trainees all participate in discussion.
During discussion, the instructor spends some time listening while the trainees spend
sometimes talking.
The discussion is, therefore, a more active learning experience for the trainees than the
lecture.
A discussion is the means by which people share experiences, ideas and attitudes.
As it helps to foster trainee’s involvement in what they are learning, it may contribute to
desired attitudinal changes.
Discussion may be used in the classroom for the purpose of lesson development, making
trainees apply what they have learnt or to monitor trainees learning by way of feedback.
Advantages
1. Increase students interest
2. Increases student acceptance and commitments.
3. Utilizes student knowledge and experience.
4. Results in more permanent learning because of high degree of student participation.
Disadvantages
1. Require highly skilled instructor.
2. Requires preparation by student.
3. Limits content.
4. Consumes time.
5. Restricts size of groups
Story telling Method
Storytelling is a means for sharing and interpreting experiences.
Storytelling can be used as a method to teach ethics, values and cultural norms and
differences. Learning is most effective when it takes place in social environments that
provide authentic social cues about how knowledge is to be applied.
Stories are a powerful means of language teaching.
Advantages:
1) By placing the story in fiction, he removes it from the political arena and allows readers to
contemplate "what if" and draw their own conclusions
2) This has elements of a puzzle, and potentially piques the interest of people who would
normally ignore politics, thus reaching a larger audience.
3) By placing a horrific turn of events within a fairy tale, Orwell draws a dark contrast between
the ideal world and the reality (which is essentially his comment on communism--it offered
an ideal world but turned dark)
4) The theme of the story is as important as the historical significance: the potential for well.
Limitations
(1) It usually encourages exaggerations of facts which create misconception and wrong ideas in
the pupils.
(2) It sometimes minimizes the importance of personalities and shows even the historical
characters as mythical and frivolous.
(3) The story-telling method is not found suitable for teaching history to the students of higher
classes
Project Method
Project method is based upon the ideas of the great American educationalist, Mr. John
Dewey. The credit of developing these ideas into a method goes to Mr. William Kilpatrick.
According to him ‘A project is a whole hearted purposeful activity, proceeding in a social
environment’
According to Stevenson : “A project is a problematic act carried to completion in its natural
setting”.
Steps in project method
1. Providing a situation
2. Choosing the project
3. Planning the project
4. Executing the project
5. Evaluation of the project
Merits
Differentiated instruction
Differentiated instruction is the process of tailoring lessons to meet each student's individual
interests, needs, and strengths.
Differentiation is a teaching approach that modifies instruction to meet the individual needs
of students.
Teachers can differentiate in various ways, such as through the process of instruction, the
content being taught, the resources used, or the learning environment.
Differentiation is all about creating a personalized learning experience for each student.
Expeditionary learning
Expeditionary learning is the process of learning through participating in practical
experiences.
These can be projects, case studies or lab experiments in the classroom or field trips to
places around your school and community.
For example, in a science class, you might take a trip to a nearby nature center to learn
about the types of animals and plants in your area.
This type of approach encourages students to apply classroom knowledge and skills to the
real world.
It can help them comprehend the purpose of their efforts and return to schoolwork with
enthusiasm.
Inquiry-based learning
Inquiry-based learning promotes the idea of learning by investigation, where students can
complete projects, ask questions and find answers by themselves.
While teachers act as resources in these times, the goal is for students to solve problems
and discover information on their own.
Upon learning about concepts, they can explain and present the concepts in their own
words to further enforce them in their memories.
Then, students can advance to higher levels at their own pace.
This is a way for students to perform an active role in the learning process.
Flipped Classroom
A flipped classroom is a blended learning strategy that directs the students to be self-
dependent learners at home and test what they have learned in the classroom with live
problem-solving sessions.
Students become independent learners
Students are better engaged in the classroom
Teachers can complete syllabus without being rushed
Problem-Based Learning
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a method where open-ended problems take centre stage
for students to solve.
This method enables students to think continuously with motivation and determination
until the problem is solved.
The student journey for solving the problem requires them to 1) Examine the problem, 2)
Explore resources where they can find the solution, 3) Evaluate the ways to solve the
problem, 4) Solve the problem, and 5) Report on their findings.
Develops critical thinking and decision-making skills
Fosters problem-solving abilities
Engages students at higher levels
Competency-Based Learning
Competency-based learning is a method where students progress through learning
objectives at their own pace.
The main characteristic of this model is that only when a student has mastered a topic are
they allowed to continue to the next.
Brings in greater flexibility in learning (and achieving)
Establishes purpose-driven teaching and learning
Uses personalized teaching-learning processes
Team Teaching:
Team teaching is when two or more teachers plan to teach a class together for some reason.
In team teaching, a group of teachers, work and plan class activities and evaluate students
on an integrated level.
Team teaching brings to students the ideas and potentials of many thought leaders towards
courses that require a holistic perspective.
Heuristic Method
Organizing learning
Organizing learning is the framework on which effective teaching is based.
❑ Careful and thoughtful organisation allows instructional time to be maximized, standards to
be addressed, prior knowledge to be activated, misconceptions to be confronted and the
diverse characteristics and learning needs of students to be considered
Characteristics:
Learn from Anything and Everything
Emulate the Best Practices
Shared Vision and leadership
Learning organisations rely on a team based structure
Learning organisations add value for learner by identifying needs
Smooth formulation and implementation of ideas
Classroom Diversity:
Classrooms are diverse in terms of the types of children and the ways in which they learn.
Children learn in different ways because of experience, environment and socio-economic
and cultural backgrounds.
In the classroom, "diversity" applies to leaning styles, background, educational
backgrounds, language, and support at home.
Diversity is about respecting individual's Race> Ethnicity➤ Culture➤ Disability>
National Origin► Ability➤ Region➤ Family Structure Heath> Gender> Sexual
Orientation ➤ Values ➤ Politics➤ Age ➤ Marital Status
Features/ Characteristics:
1) Self-learning enables you to learn what you want when you want, and how you want.
You drive the learning process and this tends to be more effective that instructional
learning
2) The independent learner is able to set goals, make choices, and decisions about how
to meet his learning needs
3) Self-study allows students to take learning at their own pace, focusing on areas they
are most interested in (or want to understand a bit better).
E.g. Activities for Independent learning/Self learning: Project, Reflective journal, Research
publication, Case study, Programmed learning, Assignments
Curriculum adaptation
Adaptation refers to adjusting assessments, material, curriculum, or classroom environment to
accommodate a student's needs so he/she can participate in, and achieve the teaching-learning
goals.
1) Presentation Adaptations: changes to the way in which instructional or test content is
presented to a student. (output) For example: font size, sign language, picture symbols, etc.
2) Response Adaptation: methods a student uses to provide responses to instructional
activities or assessment tasks. (input) For example: producing text orally or to a scribe or
using speech-to-text software.
3) Setting/Environment Adaptations: changes to the location in which an assignment or
assessment is given or the environmental conditions the student needs. For example:
location with less distractions sensory tools, ear plugs, etc.
4) Adapt the pace of activities: Allow the student more time to complete assignments •
Provide shorter but more frequent assignments
5) Adapt assessment: Allow various ways for students to demonstrate their understanding of
scientific concepts such as performing experiments, creating displays and models, and tape
recording observations.
6) Timing/Scheduling Adaptations: Take more time to complete a task or a test, Have extra
time to process oral information and directions, Take frequent breaks, such as after
completing a task.
B5: Multilingual Education
Concept:
Multilingual education typically refers to first language first education,i.e. Schooling which
begins in the mother tongue and transition to additional language.
According to Pearce,"Multilingualism is the use of several languages by an individual or
society. sometimes bilinguals are described as multilingual but usually the term is reserved
for speakers or socio linguistic situations in which more than two languages are used".
“Multilingualism,” comes from the Roman terms “multi,” which means many, and
“lingua,” which means language. Hence, the ability of a speaker to communicate in
multiple languages with equal and native-like proficiency is referred to as multilingualism.
Broad Objectives of MLE
1) To Ensure equity and quality education to tribal children
2) To improve tribal students’ reading, writing skills and learning through use of mother
tongue in early grades
3) To introduce state and national language at early stages to mainstream the tribal children in
state-wide education system
4) To develop respect among tribal children for their language and culture
Multilingual Education in Odisha
1) As per the decision of the government; in July, 2006 (29/7/2006) the State Tribal Advisory
Committee headed by the Chief Minister, Odisha advised the Department of School and
Mass Education to take necessary steps for adopting tribal languages as the medium of
instruction at primary level under the MLE programme.
2) In the first phase 10 languages were selected for adoption as medium of instruction at
Primary level under the MLE programme in the State as an innovative programme under
SSA.
3) The languages are Santali, Saura, Koya, Kui, Kuvi, Kishan, Oram, Munda, Juanga and
Bonda. Further, MLE programme has been extended to 11 more tribal languages such as
Gadaba, Ho, Gondi, Paroja, Kharia, Didayi, Bhinjhal, Bhuiyan, Bhumia, Bhatra and
Bhunjia (2013-14).
4) Strategy was devised to facilitate transition from 100% tribal language in class-I to 100%
Oriya by class-V over a period of five years.
5) Schools with more than 90% students from a particular tribal language have been selected
for implementation of MT based MLE
6) MLE programme is operational in 1485 schools in 21 tribal languages in 17 tribal
dominated districts namely, Angul, Bargarh, Balasore, Dhenkanal, Ganjam,
Gajapati,Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Koraput, Keonjhar, Malkangiri, Mayurbhanj,
Nawarangpur, Nuapada, Rayagada, Sambalpur and Sundargarh.
7) 817 schools have been identified (Mayurbhanj, Kalahandi, Kandhamal,
Keonjhar&Nawarangpur) to be operational.
8) Curriculum framework and textbooks for the MLE programme developed based on the
NCF 2005 and SCF-2007.
9) The transaction materials and text books are in the tribal languages but the script used is
Odia. For Santhali language materials, the Ol-Chiki script has been used. These materials
have strong integration of cultural context.
10) Text books developed for class I to V in 10 tribal languages (phase – I) and Class I to III
text books for newly adopted 11 tribal languages (phase – II) have been developed for try
out.
11) Work book for Class I and II have been developed in 10 tribal languages (phase I) The
Pre-Primary Curriculum Material “Nua-Arunima” – a teachers’ handbook has been
adapted in 10 tribal languages for facilitating Mother Tongue Based Pre-primary Education
12) In order to implement the programme successfully Srujan, a combination of different
child centred activities are being conducted involving the community members who have
strong participation in creating a joyful learning atmosphere in the schools and promoting
the creative talents of the children.

Important Concepts:
1) Scales of Measurement
Scaling
Scaling is the assignment of objects to numbers according to a rule. In scaling, the objects are text
statements, usually statements of attitude, opinion, or feeling.
Level of measurement or scale of measure is a classification that describes the nature of
information within the values assigned to variables.
Psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens developed the best-known classification with four levels or
scales of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Stevens proposed his typology in a 1946 Science article titled “On the theory of scales of
measurement”.
Levels of Measurement
1. Nominal Scale
Nominal Scale is the crudest and simplest among all measurement scales.
The different scores on a measurement simply indicate different categories.
It does not express any values or relationships between variables.
It is often referred to as a categorical scale.
The assigned numbers have no arithmetic properties (, +, −, × , /) and act only as labels.
The only statistical operation that can be performed on nominal scales is a frequency count.
A system of assigning number symbols to events in order to label them
It simply describes differences between things by assigning them to categories
These numbers have no quantitative value
Measures of central tendency can be used is the Mode No measures of dispersion can be used
Non parametric statistical technique: Chi-square
Measures of correlation: Coefficient of contingency
It indicates no order or distance relationship and has no arithmetic origin
Examples –
Gender: Female, Male, Other
Nationality: Indian, American, Russian, Pakistani, Other
Ethnicity: German, Spanish, Han Chinese, Arab, Irish, Other
Religious preference: Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Other
Language: Hindi, Marathi, Gujrati, English, Urdu, Other
Genre: Poetry, Drama, Fiction, and non-fiction
In grammar, the parts of speech: noun, verb, preposition, article, pronoun, etc.
In biology, the taxonomic ranks below domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
2. Ordinal Scale
Ordinal Scale involves the ranking of items along the continuum of the characteristic being scaled.
The items are classified according to whether they have more or less of a characteristic.
The main characteristic of the ordinal scale is that the categories have a logical or ordered
relationship. This type of scale permits the measurement of degrees of difference, (i.e. ‘more’ or
‘less’) but not the specific amount of differences (i.e. how much ‘more’ or ‘less’).
This scale is very common in marketing, satisfaction and attitudinal research.
places events in order, but there is no attempt to make the intervals of the scale equal in terms of
some rule
only permits the ranking of items from highest to lowest
Ordinal measures have no absolute values, and the real differences between adjacent ranks may not
be equal. Only can be said that one person is higher or lower on the scale than another
Measures of central tendency: Mode and Median
Measure of dispersion: A percentile or quartile measures
Measures of correlation: Rank order method
Measures of statistical significance: non-parametric methods
Examples:
Dichotomous data – Health: sick vs. healthy – Judgments in courts: guilty vs. not-guilty – Truth
value: wrong/false vs. right/true
Non-dichotomous data – The Likert Scale: strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly
agree.
High school class ranking: 1 st , 9 th , 87th
Socioeconomic status: poor, middle class,
rich – Time of Day: dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night – Political Orientation: left,
centre, right
3. Interval Scale
Interval Scale is a scale in which the numbers are used to rank attributes such that
numerically equal distances on the scale represent equal distance in the characteristic being
measured.
An interval scale contains all the information of an ordinal scale, but it also one allows to
compare the difference/distance between attributes. Interval scales may be either in
numeric or semantic formats.
The intervals are adjusted in terms of some rule that have been established as a basis for
making the units equal
It may have arbitrary zero but no absolute or true zero. Therefore, it does not have the
capacity to measure the complete absence of a trait or characteristics.
In addition to setting up inequalities we can also form differences. Means <, >, +,- can be
performed.
100 degree > 70 degree, 95-70 = 135-110
Measures of central tendericy: Mean (Arithmetic), Median and Mode
Measures of dispersion: standard deviation and range
Measures of correlation: Product Moment
Measures of statistical significance: t test and F test
Other Examples:
• Celsius Temperature
• Fahrenheit Temperature
• IQ (intelligence scale)
• Time on a clock with hands
4. Ratio Scale
Ratio Scale is the highest level of measurement scales.
This has the properties of an interval scale together with a fixed (absolute) zero point. The
absolute zero point allows us to construct a meaningful ratio.
Ratio scales permit the researcher to compare both differences in scores and relative
magnitude of scores.
Ratio scales have an absolute or true zero of measurement.
Measures of physical dimensions such as weight, height, distance, etc.
In addition to setting up inequalities and forming differences we can also form quotients.
Means <, >, +, -, x, / can be performed.
Measures of central tendencies: Geometric and harmonic means in addition to the mode,
median, and arithmetic mean
Measures of dispersion: coefficients of variation
In short, all (parametric) statistical techniques are usable with ratio scales.
Researches in physical sciences have the advantage to describe variables in ratio scale form
but the behavioural sciences are generally limited to describe variables in interval scale
form.
The zero point on a centimeter scale indicates the complete absence of length height, But
an absolute zero of temperature is theoretically unobtainable and it remains a concept
existing in scientist's mind.
Examples:
Weight • Height • Sales Figures • Ruler measurements • Income earned in a week • Years of
education • Number of children
2) Test reliability and validity
Concept of Reliability
❑ Reliability is the degree of consistency of a measure.
❑ Reliability is the degree to which a measurement instrument gives the same results each
time that it is used.
❑ Reliability of test refers to the consistency of scores obtained by the individual on
different occasions or with different sets of equivalent items.
Types of Reliability/Process to Check reliability
1) Test-retest reliability: Test-retest reliability is a measure of reliability obtained by
administering the same test twice over a period of time to a group of individuals.(Same
people, different times).
2) Parallel forms/Equivalent form reliability: Parallel forms reliability compares two
equivalent forms of a test that measure the same attribute. (Same people, Same time, different
test).
3) Split-half reliability: A measure of internal consistency where a test is split in two and the
scores for each half of the test is compared with one another.
4) Rational Equivalence or Kuder–Richardson reliability : Inter item consistence or
consistency of responses to all items.
5) Inter rater reliability: Used to assess the degree to which different observers give consistent
estimates of the same phenomena.
Concept of Validity:
❑ Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it claims/purpose and suppose to
measure. (representation of accuracy, truthfulness and reality).
Types of Validity/Process to check validity
1) Face Validity: Face validity is simply whether the test appears (at face value) to measure what
it claims to. For example, a test to measure “Skill in addition” should contain only items on
addition.
2) Content validity: The extent to which the items of a test are true representative of the whole
content. It is also called as Rational Validity or Logical Validity or Curricular Validity or Internal
Validity or Intrinsic Validity.
3) Predictive Validity: Predictive Validity the extent to which test predicts the future
performance of students. It is also known as “Criterion related Validity”, ‘Empirical validity’ or
‘Statistical validity’.
4) Concurrent validity: Concurrent validity refers to the extent to which the test scores
correspond to already established or accepted performance, known as criterion. The test is
validated against some concurrently available or existed information.
5) Construct Validity : Construct Validity the extent is which the test may be said to measure a
theoretical construct or psychological variable.
Types of Grading
Absolute Grading
The grading system in which grades are awarded to students on the basis of established
standards of performance decided already by the institute. Simply, it means grades are
given as per the cutoff levels decided even prior to the start of the process of allocating the
grades.
Let’s understand with an example, under an absolute grading system, numbers ranging
from 90 to 100 come under A grade, B grade is given to numbers between 80 to 89, C
grade to 70 to 79, D grade for numbers between 60-69, and an F grade to points below 59.
For example, a commonly followed absolute grading would be:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 60-69
F = 0-59
Relative Grading
The system of assessment in which students’ grades are determined by comparing them
against their peers of the class. Teachers of some universities and colleges use this relative
grading system to evaluate students’ performance.
In relative grading, students’ scores fluctuate which is dependent on how they performed
compared to others students in their class.
For example, a commonly followed relative grading would be:
A = Top 10% of students
B = Next 25% of students
C = Middle 30% of students
D = Next 25% of students
F = Bottom 10% of students
8) Performance Evaluation
Performance evaluation is part of the performance management process.
It is an evaluation of the activities and performance of the individual employee based upon
organizational goals and objectives.
The purpose of the evaluation is to align individual performance with organizational goals and
objectives
9) Anecdotal Record
An anecdotal record is a form of documentation that is used in educational settings to record and
track the progress of a student's learning and development.
It involves writing down observations and notes about a student's behaviors, actions, and
interactions in a naturalistic setting.
An anecdotal record should be brief, concise, the objective report of an incident exactly happened.
It gives an accurate description of events and a factual report with enough detail.
Using anecdotal records is one way for teachers to collect information about a child's development
and learning experience.
A detailed descriptive narrative recorded after a specific behavior or interaction occurs.
10) Aptitude tests
Aptitude tests offer an objective and standardized method of evaluating candidates' abilities.
Aptitude testing is designed to assess competency or to predict what a person is able to learn or do
given the right education and instruction.
It represents a person's level of competency to perform a certain type of task.
E.g. Teaching aptitude test, Research aptitude test
Assessment: Assessment is a process to check the readiness, learning progress and skill
acquisition through regular feedback.
E.g. Quiz, observation, rating, checklist
N.E.Gronlund and R.L.Linn: “Assessment is a term that includes a lot of procedures
used to gain informations related to student learning and formation of some value
judgements about learning progress.”
Evaluation: Evaluation is a process of value judgment or a process of determine to what
extend the educational objectives are being realized.
Eg. Achievement Test.
C.V. Good: “Evaluation is the process of ascertaining or judging the value or amount of
something by use of a standard of appraisal, includes judgement in terms of internal
evidence and external criteria.”
James M. Bradfield: “Evaluation is the assignment of symbols to phenomenon, in order
to characterize the worth or value of a phenomenon, usually with reference to some social,
cultural or scientific standards.”
Bloom: “Evaluation as a tool in the educational practice for ascertaining whether
alternative procedures were equality effective or not in achieving a set of educational
ends.”
Hanna: “The process of gathering ans interpreted evidence changes in the behaviour of all
students as they progress through school is called evaluation.”
Wesly: “Evaluation indicates all kinds of efforts and all kind of means to ascertain the
quality, value and effectiveness of desired outcomes. It is a compound of objectives
evidence and subjective observation.”
Thorndike and Hagen: “The term evaluation is closely related to measurement. It is in
some respect, more inclusive including informal and initiative judgments of pupils'
progress. Evaluation is describing something in terms of selected attributes and judging the
degree of acceptability or suitability of that which as been described.”
N.E.Gronlund and R.L. Linn: “Evaluation is a systematic process of collecting analysing
and interpreting information to determine the extent to which pupils are achieving
instructional objectives
1) Continual aspect also includes the evaluation of learners during the instructional process.
2) Periodicity means evaluation of performance of learners should be done frequently at the
end of every unit or term.
1) Scholastic aspects.
2) Co-scholastic aspects.
Features of CCE
1) Continuous and periodicity of evaluation
2) All round development of learner
3) CCE helps in minimizing the stress on children.
4) Make assessment comprehensive & regular.
5) CCE encourages and motivates students to be positive in their attitudes.
6) It also encourages continuous interaction with parents with regard to their children’s
progress and performance.
7) It is progressive and improvement oriented in nature.
Objectives of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation:
1) It makes the process of teaching and learning a learner-centred activity.
2) To make the assessment process an essential part of the teaching-learning process.
3) To make a fair judgment and take timely decisions for learner’s growth, learning
process, learning pace, and learning environment.
4) To provide scope for learners for self-assessment.
5) To use the evaluation process for improving students’ achievement through detection and
correction.
6) To reduce stress and anxiety, this often builds up among the young students during and
after the examination.
7) To promotes a learner friendly environment, thereby optimizes student learning
Formative Assessment:
Formative assessment is a technique to monitor student learning by providing ongoing
feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve
their learning.
Examples: Unit tests (Acquired Knowledge Tests), Monthly tests, Periodical Tests, Teacher's
observation.
1) Chief aim of formative evaluation is to provide feedback and take remedial measures.
2) Formative evaluation is carried on during the teaching learning process.
3) Results are instantly available to the learners.
4) Discovers the immediate learning difficulties of the learners.
5) It generally uses teacher made tests.
6) Monitor how well the instructional objectives are being met.
7) To catch the deficiency for proper intervention
Summative assessment:
Summative assessment comes at the end of a course of instruction to determine the extent to
which the instructional goals have been achieved or not.
4) It forms a terminal point that sums up the performance or learning level of achievement.
5) It is product oriented
Diagnostic assessment:
Diagnostic assessment tries to find out learning problems, their causes and plan for remedial
action.
2) It is primarily used to diagnose student difficulties and to guide lesson and curriculum
planning.
3) Formative assessment acts as an first aid treatment at the time diagnostic assessment is an
intensive treatment

❑ Project-based assessments are an alternative to tests that allow students to engage with
their learning in more concrete ways.
❑ Instead of merely studying theory, a hands-on project asks students to apply what they've
learned to an in-depth exploration of a topic.
❑ Self assessments are more often used as part of a formative assessment process, rather
than a summative one.
❑ Self-assessment makes you sure and confident about your capabilities. It eliminates or
reduces work related fear and uncertainty.
❑ Self-assessment provides direction for training. Once you know what your strengths and
weaknesses are, you can choose the right tutor or training that best fits your career needs.
Peer Assessment
Peer Assessment is an assessment which allows students to assess each other's performance. It
can be extremely valuable in helping students to learn from each other by listening, analyzing
and problem solving.
1) It is usually done by colleagues who are a part of the same team.
2) Enable students to learn to assess and give others constructive feedback to develop
lifelong assessment skills.
3) Enhance students' learning through knowledge diffusion and exchange of ideas.
4) Students taking responsibility for assessing the work of their peers against set
assessment criteria
Advantages of Peer Assessment
❑ Encourages students to critically reflect each others' work
❑ Encourages students to be involved in the assessment process
❑ Helps students develop their judgmental skills when they assess the work of other group
members
❑ More feedback can be generated by students compared to one or two teachers
❑ Reduces the time and workload of marking for teachers
❑ Maintains the fairness of assessment because everyone has the chance to assess each
other
❑ Students learn how to criticize, evaluate and apply other generic skills during the process
Disadvantages of Peer Assessment
❑ Peer pressure and friendship can influence the reliability of grades given by students
❑ Students may have a tendency to give everyone the same mark (for example, there may be
collusion in return for good grades)
❑ Students may cheat in collaboration for group assignments
❑ Fairness may not be maintained because extroverted students can be usually be marked
higher and quieter students got marked down
B5: Portfolio and Rubrics
Portfolio
A portfolio is a collection of student work that can exhibit a student's efforts, progress, and
achievements in various areas of the curriculum.
A portfolio is a collection of student work that demonstrates progress and growth.
A portfolio is a collection of materials assembled by students to demonstrate achievement.
The materials will vary with the age of the student and the curriculum, but might include
Completed assignments with feedback from tutors and others
Copies of learning contracts
Notes or drawings
Extracts from diaries, journals, logs
Laboratory or project reports
Charts, posters, maps, diagrams
Designs, paintings, photographs, art works and artifacts
Descriptions/ analyses of work placements
Certificates and statements of progress and achievement
Self assessments
Features
❑ It is a collection of significant performance of student.
❑ Monitor student progress and assess student achievement
❑ To show sample of the students best work
❑ Gives profile to learners
Types of Portfolio
1) Showcase portfolios : Showcase portfolios are designed to display a learner's best quality
of work(end of the instructional process)
2) Documentation Portfolio: Documentation Portfolio is to highlight the development and
improvement of student learning during a given period of time. (during)
3) Working Portfolio: Collection of day to work of student to reflect the progress of students
in a particular area of learning
Structure of Portfolio
Simosko and Cook (1996) suggest one possible structure for the portfolio, comprising five
components:
1) Cover (including their name and other relevant student details)
2) A table of contents
3) A narrative statement/ personal report/ curriculum vitae or other device that links the
students’ experience to the learning outcomes for which credits of the achievement of
performance are claimed, and including information on the context in which the evidence
has been produced
4) A system for cross referencing different individual pieces of evidence to the standards,
criteria or learning outcomes
5) The evidence itself clearly labeled
Advantages:
1) It can monitor the learning progress of a student over a given period.
2) It can show the student's best work.
3) It can compare the student's best work from the past to present.
4) It can provide documentary evidences of learning to teachers, parents and stakeholders.
5) It can foster teacher-student/parent-child collaboration in the teaching learning process.
Disadvantages:
1) Reliability is questionable
2) Scoring is very difficult
3) It is time consuming to make a portfolio.
4) It may create resistance on the part of the students.
E-Portfolio:
An ePortfolio is an electronic format for learners to record their work, their achievements,
and their goals, to reflect on their learning, and to share and be supported in this.
ePortfolio lets students organize, document, and display their most significant learning
experiences in one digital space.
An electronic portfolio is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a
user, usually but not only on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include input text,
electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks.
E.g. Mahara
Rubrics
A rubric is a scoring tool or assessment tool to assess the performance based on certain criteria.
A rubric is an assessment tool that consists of defining the criteria that are evaluated within a task
or skill and the levels of achievement or fulfillment of these criteria.
❑ A rubric is a “guide” that states what is expected in an assignment or project, and helps to
evaluate (or grade) a student’s performance.
❑ A rubric is an assessment tool used to measure students’ work.
❑ A rubric is a working guide for students and teachers, usually handed out before the
assignment begins in order to get students to think about what is expected of their work.
❑ A rubric helps parents understand why a certain grade is given to their child’s work.
❑ Assessment or scoring tool
❑ Used for both self evaluation and external evaluation
❑ To assess the performance or quality of work
❑ Based on certain criteria or standard
❑ It can be used for marking assignments, class participation, or overall grades
❑ Rubrics are sometimes called "criteria sheets", "grading schemes", or "scoring guides“
E.g. Debate competition
Criteria: Speak clearly, eye contact, audible, content
Assess by using scales of 1,2,3,4 or meet, partially meet, does not meet
Types of Rubrics:
1. Holistic rubrics( Single grading scale)
❑ Holistic assessment means making an overall assessment, considering all criteria
simultaneously.
❑ A holistic rubric consists of a single scale with all criteria to be included in the evaluation
being considered together
2. Analytical rubrics( Multi component grading scale)
❑ Allows assessing participants' achievements based on multiple criteria using a single
rubric.
❑ Describe each evaluation criteria separately
Steps
1) Select a performance/assignment to be assessed.
2) Define the assessment criteria
3) Write criteria descriptions.
4) Define the possible evaluation levels
5) Describe each one of the performance levels.
6) Review how well your rubric works before you apply it.
Advantages:
1) Rubrics encourage learners to develop critical thinking about their own scores and work.
2) Rubrics can also help in producing more insightful learners by developing the
metacognition.
3) It helps teachers to make better decisions due to its focus on "criterion-referenced rather
than norm- referenced" scoring.
4) Rubrics make the learning goal clearer to learners enabling increased fair treatment for
learners.
5) It decreases the chances of student preference by teachers
Disadvantages:
1) Rubric scale has various different options due to which it may be a bit difficult to use it.
2) The language of rubrics is not as clear as it is supposed to be.
3) The lower scale may use negative terms to describe student performance which may
discourage the learners.
4) Each level should also be more measurable and observable.
5) There's a need for more detailed specification
Rubistar:
Rubistar is a simple online rubric generator where students and teachers can either choose
from pre-made rubrics or design their own.
RubiStar is a free, Web-based tool designed to help teachers quickly and easily develop
quality rubrics. It is also a tool that can be used to teach others about rubrics.

Test tool is first to be carefully planned, secondly items are to be prepared, then the test is to be
tried out and lastly it must be evaluated from different angles before it is used.
1) Planning the Test
2) Preparing the Test
3) Try Out the Test
4) Evaluating the Test.
1) Planning the Test:
Who, what content, what type of test item, language of the test are the parts.
1) Determining the Objectives of Testing: May have the objective to measure the entry
performance, the progress during the teaching learning process or to decide the mastery
level achieved by the learners.
2) Preparing test specification/table of specification/Blueprint: Table of specification or
Blue Print is a three dimensional chart showing list of instructional objectives, content
areas and types of items in its dimensions.
▪ Determining the weightage to different instructional objectives.
▪ Determining the weightage to different content areas.
▪ Determining the item types to be included.
▪ Preparation of the three way table.
2) Preparing the Test
1. Preparing test items.
▪ The items must be appropriate for the learning outcome to be measured.
▪ Test items should measure all types of instructional objectives and the whole content area.
▪ The test items should be free from ambiguity.
▪ The test items should be of appropriate difficulty level.
▪ The test items must be free from technical errors and irrelevant clues
▪ Test items should be free from racial, ethnic and sexual biasness.
2. Preparing instruction for the test.
▪ Direction about the purpose of testing.
▪ Instruction about the time allowed for answering.
▪ Instruction about recording the answer.
3. Preparing the scoring key: Need to provide the procedure for scoring the answer scripts
3) Try out the Test:
Helps us to identify defective and ambiguous items, to determine difficulty level of the items and
to determine the discriminating power of the items.
1) Administration of the test: Administration refers to administering the prepared test on a
sample of pupils
2) Scoring the test: Score the answer scripts following a scoring key
4. Evaluating the Test:
To determine the quality of the test and the quality of the responses.
1) Item Analysis: Determine the quality of items based on item difficulty and
discriminating power
2) Determining Validity of the Test: validity refers to the degree to which the test
actually measures what it claims to measure
3) Determining Reliability of the Test: Consistency of result/dependable
4) Determining the Usability of the Test: It implies that how far a test is usable from
administration, scoring, time and economy point of view.
B2: Development of Blueprint
Meaning of Blueprint
Blueprint refers to a map or specification of assessment to ensure that all aspects of the
curriculum and educational domains are covered by the assessment programmes.
A test blueprint describes the key elements of a test, including the content to be covered,
the amount of emphasis allocated to each content area, and other important features.
Features of Blueprint
❑ Ensure that there are no questions that are out of syllabus.
❑ Table of specification or Blue Print is a three dimensional chart showing list of
instructional objectives, content areas and types of items in its dimensions.
❑ Assessment blueprint is an essential step for enhancing validity of assessment
❑ Blueprinting acts as a valid tool to align objectives with assessment, helps in distribution of
appropriate weightage and questions across the topics.
❑ source of evidence to support its content validity
Steps of Blue print preparation:
(i) Determining the weightage to different instructional objectives: it must be planned how
much weightage to be given to different instructional objectives like knowledge,
understanding, application and skill in equal proportion.
E.g. Weightage given to instructional objectives in test of 100 marks
Knowledge 20% 20
Understanding 30% 30
Application 50% 40
ii) Determining the weightage to different content areas: It indicates the area in which the
students are expected to show their performance.
Weightage of a topic:
Total number of items/marks\Total number of page in the book* Number of page in the topic
iii) Determining the item types to be included: items can be divided into two type i.e. Objective
type item and essay type item. Items should be according to the learning outcomes to be
measured.
iv) Preparation of the three way table: It is the last step blue print. Three aspects of chart
include instructional objectives, content and types of items.
B3: Preparing Test Items and Types of Test items
Test Items: "An item is a single task or question that usually cannot be broken down into any
smaller unit.
Preparing test items: Preparing the test item is the second step in the test construction process.
1) The items must be appropriate for the learning outcome to be measured.
2) Test items should measure all types of instructional objectives and the whole content area.
3) The test items should be free from ambiguity.
4) The test items should be of appropriate difficulty level.
5) The test items must be free from technical errors and irrelevant clues
6) Test items should be free from racial, ethnic and sexual biasness.
Objective Type test: An objective type test item is a tool which is free form all subjective
elements. There can only be one right or objective answer to an objective question.
❑ It is highly reliable.
a. Supply or completion types: There are two types of the supply type items. they are:
1. Short Answer: In this form, students are required to supply an answer which is very
brief, generally a word or two in the form of a word, phrase, number or symbol.
2. Completion: In this form, students are required to fill a blank by supplying the answer.
In this type a statement is provided to the students and they are required to indicate their choice
as to whether the given statement is true or false, correct or incorrect, right or wrong,
according to given instructions.
❑ Ability to distinguish
e.g. Put tick mark (4) in the box at the end of the statement, if it is true, otherwise put a x, if it is
false.
2. Matching type: The matching type item consists of two lists and students are required to
correlate correctly one or more entries from one list with one or more entries from the other.
1. Mass a. Ampere
2. Length b. Ohm
3. Current c. Kilogram
5. Resistance e. Litre
f. Candela
g. Vol
Items can measure a variety of learning outcomes, from simple recall of facts to Bloom's highest
taxonomic level of cognitive skills-evaluation.
❑ Multiple choice type test was first developed by E.L. Thomdike, but Frederick J. Kelly
was the first to use multiple choice items for assessment in 1915.
❑ Scores are more reliable than essay type items and short answer type items.
❑ The statement in a multiple choice type item is known as Stem of the item. The suggested
solutions are called as 'alternatives' or 'choices' or 'options’. The correct alternative is
called as the 'answer' and the other alternatives are known as ‘distractors’
A. Jaipur
B. Delhi
C. Bhubaneswar
D. Banaras
Essay Type Test:
Essay type tests are those tests in which the examinee is asked to discuss, enumerate, compare,
state, evaluate, analyse, summarise or criticise.
❑ In essay type tests pupils are free to select, relate and present ideas in their own words.
1) Restricted Response type: Limits both the content and response. Less freedom to answer.
Examples:
Discuss any five features of Basic Education.
Differentiate between objective and Essay type tests in about 100 words.
2) Extended Response type: Allows pupils to select any factual information that they think is
pertinent, to organise the answer in accordance with their judgement. Free to answer.
E.g. "Today India needs an idealistic system of education". Do you agree with this
statement ? Justify your view point.

structures or pattern of sentences and phrases. E.g Grammatical sequence, Grouping-
Phonetic grouping, Lexical
1) Also known as ‘New Approach’ or ‘Aural-Oral Approach’.

1) From the beginning, the sandwich Technique is used to convey the meaning
bilingually. The mother tongue is used for bilingual pattern drills.
2) Meaning of new words, phrases, idioms, sentences and grammatical rules is
conveyed through L1 in the initial stage of the lesson;
3) Pattern practice is given only in English; and L1 is used only by the teacher to
explain vocabulary and phrases.
4) The bilingual method follows three stages (presentation, practice, and production)
while teaching English.
Deductive Method: In this method, the teacher explains the rule first and then gives
examples
Inductive Method: In this method, the teacher provides examples first, and then,
formulates rules based on the examples given.
