An Ode to an Exam Free World- Kapil Sibal

2009-09-23T07:05:00.002+05:30

Please rid me of this awful load

preparing for the class X board

My thirsty mind craves to create

not have exams decide my fate

My wonderous eyes yearn to explore

much beyond my classroom doors

My dreams should not be cut to size

because i hate to memorize

If you test me for brains and guile

don't have to look at percentiles

Marks encourage one upmanship

a free ride on an ego trip

With textbooks I should start to surf

inquiringly look for a new turf

Walk away from the trodden path

and not invite my teacher's wrath

Solving a sum will not help

real answers to a questionong mind

Create the space for me to run

let learning be a lot of fun

- Kapil Sibal

CBSE Class 10 will have Two Semesters

2009-09-12T07:21:00.001+05:30

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will divide the Class 10 into two semesters, as in management and engineering colleges, to make the evaluation process easier and smoother after board exams are scrapped from 2011.

"Once the examination is scrapped from 2011, we will divide the year into two terms - they are like two semesters (April to September, and October to March)," a senior CBSE official told IANS Monday.

"Initially, students will be evaluated for the first six months and in the second half of the year students don't need to bother about what they studied in the first semester," the official added.

In each semester there will be two 'formative assessments' and one 'summative assessment'.

Formative assessment is carried out during a course of instruction for providing continuous feedback. It will take into account both teacher's and learner's point of view in understanding and internalising a subject. It will comprise of interviews, conversations, projects and assignments among others.

In a summative assessment, grades will be given to students by their schools based on overall performance.

While 40 percent of the evaluation will be through formative assessment, the rest will be through summative assessment.

The CBSE official disclosed this to IANS soon after Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal announced that Class 10 board examination under CBSE would be abolished from 2011.

Sibal said: "There will be no Class 10 board examination from 2011." The last Class 10 CBSE Board examination will take place in March-April 2010.

But the minister clarified that the exams would very much take place this academic year.

From 2011, the students' evaluation would be based exclusively on a nine-point grading system. But this will be introduced this academic year itself.

"This academic year, there will be both a Board examination and a grading system," the minister said.

Under the new system, there will be nine grades: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D, E1 and E2.

BBC STUDENTS

2009-08-20T08:29:00.000+05:30

BBC learning for school students is a great tool for students as well as teachers. It presents many subjects for both primary as well as secondary students. Subjects like art, geography, history, music, mathematics etc are listed under primary student category, while these topics are presented with some advancement for the secondary students.

Further many interactive games, videos, quizzes are given. Then there is exclusive section for parents and teachers. You can also find revision guides, chat, TV and radio shows.

Does music in class affect concentration/grades?

2009-08-18T18:31:00.002+05:30

As children we are encouraged to listen to music, to sing and dance in the classroom. But as we grow older many people suggest that listening to music whilst studying can be distracting. Others say that it helps them concentrate better, and if you can concentrate better then in effect your grades will improve, too.

A research team from the Stanford University School of Medicine has showed that music engages the areas of the brain involved with paying attention, making predictions and updating the event in memory. Peak brain activity occurred during a short period of silence between musical movements.
The research also showed that musical techniques used by composers 200 years ago help the brain organise incoming information.

Another research team, the Australian Music Association, looked into the positive effects on academic, mental functioning and social skills resulting from a music education. The results showed how learning music can help your child in so many more ways, the areas were identified to be:

Improved reasoning capacity and problem solving skills
Improve maths and language performance
Better memory
Greater social and team skills

Another study conducted by a Big Ten school has shown music to elevate and intensify the emotions of college students. Professor Arthur Harvey, an internationally known neuromusicologist from University of Hawaii added in his study, "Of all the music we tested in medical school with patients, colleagues and others, Bach's music consistently made the brain work in a balanced way better than any other genre".

Many studies have been done to find out the effects music has on the brain whether positive or negative. The type of music the research mainly refers to is classical as opposed to up beat music such as techno. Perhaps listening to music could help the concentration if taking into account many factors seperately and jointly, these could include:

The time of the day your listening to music
The type of music
And the subject you are studying

Despite research some feel music helps them and arguably others find it to be a distraction. However it seems to be up to the individual schools, teachers, parents and students to choose to involve music in their learning environments as it is down to indivudual preferences to study with or without music. Only the individual can really feel the effect that music has on their level of concentration, stress and other emotional feelings whilst studying.
