| Child friendly examination | | | shyam sudan
Since the inception of covid-19 pandemic on this globe we have lost various things in all sectors of life. Especially in education sector there is great loss of academic activities across the country. Due to stagnation in routine class work activities student faces lot of trouble in their teaching learning process. However various online and virtual session were organised to mitigate the problem of teaching process. But without general classroom teaching these alternative method are not so helpful in the smooth functioning of teaching process. However there is no provision of mass promotion for students like previous year. But from this year education department is going to organise the child friendly examination system, a new initiative of its kind. There is provision of relaxation in conducting various exam in this child friendly mode of examination. Various boards has already issued a circular for reduction in the syllabi and courses for different classes.
However for lower classes a totally child friendly pattern will be adopted by the institutions to give relaxation to the students in their exam. This new pattern will definitely brings a soothing gesture for learners. This will lower down the extra stress from their minds and they can get rid from the psychological pressure of competition and examination phobia. This child friendly examination system in which there is no strict rules and regulations can boost the morale of the children at this crucial juncture. Child friendly examination although it is our compulsion this time, but it doesn’t become completely based on imitation, we will also have to take care of this. We also have to set some standards in this system.
Children ease must be taken care of, but it should be not aimed at motivating them to imitate it should no be our efforts to promote the culture and habit of copying. The habit of copying suppresses the talent of children. Parents of children should also support in this difficult time and should prepare their children well for the exam. Children should also consider that it is not an easy task and opportunity for them, but come to the exam with full devotion and preparation from their side. No doubt the role of parents is very crucial in this time of pandemic. The parents role can act as a catalyst for increasing the performance of their children. There is no doubt that at the time of lockdown, the parents presented their responsibility well.
Even the children had increased their participation in online classes. Now is the time for examination not only for children but for everyone. However many times we don’t get so much contribution from parents because we know that in our government schools, mostly children belongs to fourth generation learners I.e their is no one in their homes who give guidance in academic side. But our collaborative efforts can change the condition in our favour. Child friendly examination is no doubt the only plausible solution at this moment to give acceleration to our assessment design. However it is not a better design of assessment but at present there is no other alternative for us. |
