Is Digitization Required in Assesment of School Students?


A dream of digital India, where the world looks to India for the next Big Idea! - Narendra Modi

Frequent foreign visits and meetings with renowned owners of digital world masters, our PM has made Digital India one of the most important goals for our country! Not only is it a step towards massive development of our country technology wise, but also an upgradation to every Indian's lifestyle!

Let's get digital at the base, our education, our values, our learning! The project of Digital India pertains to the idea of bringing internet for governmental facilities right from the rural areas to all the urban cities. Digitisation will not be one easy task, especially in the rural areas, due to the lack of knowledge of internet and computers, both! The dream of digitization of India more or less starts from our system of education, which needs to spread in all rural areas and now, in the digital pattern. Rural areas are the new development areas and lack education adversely. The reason for lack of education in all such areas is no proper faculty! No one who is educated enough wants to reside in rural areas and stop themselves from growing and getting more exposure and hence, schools in rural areas have no proper faculty. Digital way of education will help in availability of the best teachers to all the remote areas in the country. This will ensure that the students are imparted with the best from the experts. Digitization will not hinder the quality of education. It has brought drastic changes in the education industry not only in regards to learning but also teaching. Information Technology is going to be the star of the new era of education. The technology has made both the students and the educators stress free, from the burden of teaching and stressing with examples to be given to the children! Digitization of studies will let teachers be at peace and not hustle with the subjects and topics.
Currently in today’s world, kids are more attached to their gadgets and it interests them to study with the same gadgets that they fidget with the whole day long. The traditional methods of chalk and talk hardly work anymore. These gadgets and electronic items keep them connected not only to their curriculum but also the outside world. Digitization also helps the students connected with their education almost anywhere and not just classrooms and that too at their very own pace, without having to rush and only after total clarification on the topics.
Well digitization is not just restricted to learning and teaching but also taking tests and analysis of those! It's faster and easier to analyse a child's weakness and strength and also train him, in case of failures to improvise in those areas. Also, sometimes encourage them to grow in the areas of their strength! Digital way of analysing a student's grades, capabilities is mostly accurate as it is prone to minimal errors and lets every child develop only in their field of interest. Video lectures, concept explanation through mini clips and documentaries, presentations and pictures are mostly used only for schools, at higher level digitization has a wider scope. Universities and colleges are adapting the growing technology and offering online courses, tests and performance check! Apart from all of this distance learning is one new trend of pursuing future careers and degrees while working at the same time. Digitization is one massive and important step towards the development of our country. Adapting this at the education level may just instil in everyone like it’s in the blood.
Digitization of the education system is going to save time and multiply every student's efficiency

Need Of An Hour - Online Exams In Schools

School. Those wonderful years of our lives that we miss to this day and which created the foundation of our position in life today. School was our first step towards the learning environment and forms the basis of our educational development. How we experienced our schooling days and our first touch with nationalized exams (boards) gave us the head start to face examinations and life in general, till date. But did it really? In today’s time, most exams, some interviews and general procedures have mostly been transferred online. The transition from paper exams to giving online exams was a major challenge for most of us and it took considerable time to adapt to these changes. Coming from a minority government funded schooling environment, candidates now face vast issues in meeting expectations of computer knowledge. Isn’t it time that the next generation should start enjoying that edge right from day one? The requirement for online school exams is the need of the hour...

Need Of Digitization In The Assessment Of School Students

This year the C.B.S.E (Central Board of Secondary Education) witnessed yet another controversy in the form of the Mathematics paper. Angry parents from around the country protested against the extremely difficult and twisted pattern of questions that left most students confused and demoralized. In a formal statement, the C.B.S.E admitted that the paper was not set as per the general guidelines and contained questions which were challenging even for bright students to attempt.  Although human examining brings about a certain personalization to the scoring system, it loses the ability to provide fair examining opportunities to the disciple. So how can this situation be salvaged? Equality. Freedom. Fair practices. Uniform teaching. These terms are the key to answering this question. If a system is devised to keep a track of the student’s progress throughout the year using various testing techniques as well as providing access to knowledge in seamless fashion, a brighter an...

Should schools opt for online test taking platforms?

Yesterday when I came home from work, I found my younger brother, who is in 7 th standard now, sitting with bundles of paper around him. With curiosity I asked him what these papers are about. He told me those papers were of his academic tests that were conducted throughout the year. He kept on adding papers to bundles and I started wondering exactly what purpose these tests are serving and how is any school able to keep record of each student with so many bundles of papers. The value addition of such tests is indeed a concern. CCE (Continuous & Comprehensive Examination) is introduced in all CBSE schools for overall evaluation of students. The main purpose of CCE is to make teaching – learning experience tension free and enjoyable. Under this, tests are conducted on weekly basis. The syllabus for it will be that covered in respective weeks. The results of these tests show where students need more guidance and improvements. This in turn makes each and every student fully prepa...
