What is Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE Method)?

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)  is a developmental process of assessment which emphasizes on two fold objectives. These objectives are:

• continuity in evaluation and assessment of broad based learning
• behavioral outcomes on the other.

In this scheme the first term `continuous' is meant to emphasize that evaluation of identified aspects of students`growth and development' is a continuous process rather than an event, built into the total teaching-learning process and spread over the entire span of academic session.It means "regularity of assessment, frequency of unit testing, diagnosis of learning gaps, use of corrective measures, retesting and feedback of evidence to teachers and students" for their self evaluation.


The second term `comprehensive' means that the scheme attempts to cover both the scholastic and the co-scholastic aspects of students' growth and development. Since abilities, attitudes and aptitudes can manifest themselves in forms other than the written words, the term refers to application of variety of tools and techniques (both testing and non-testing) and aims at assessing a learner's development in areas of learning like :

• Knowledge
• Understanding/Comprehension
• Applying
• Analyzing
• Evaluating
• Creating

The CCE scheme is thus a curricular initiative, attempting to shift emphasis from testing to holistic learning. It aims at creating good citizens possessing sound health, appropriate skills and desirable qualities besides academic excellence. It is hoped that this will equip the learners to meet the challenges of life with confidence and success.
