Q63

An Environmental Studies teacher of class 4 made different groups of children in his class to do the task of making letter boxes on the theme Travel. During the work of making the model of the letter box, the teacher also assessed their work. Which of the following assessment tools would the teacher have used to assess children’s activity ?

  1. (1) PortfolioCorrect answer
  2. (2) Check List and Achievement test
  3. (3) Achievement test and Anecdotal records
  4. (4) Worksheet

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) Portfolio

  1. The task is a hands-on group project, so the teacher needs a tool that records the process and the product, not a paper test.
  2. A portfolio holds the model, sketches, photos and the teacher's notes on how each group planned, shared work and solved problems.
  3. Options (2) and (3) both include an achievement test, which measures recall after teaching and cannot judge a model being built.
  4. A worksheet records written answers, not a group making something.

Trap: (2) has a checklist, which suits observation, but its achievement test does not fit an ongoing activity.
