21. DA 2011

22. Feedback from 20 DA schools
Positives:
• High quality questions. Very thought provoking.
• The concept of DA is novel and very good.
• It can be made a part of the Formative Assessment programme. Fits into
the design well.
• The unified curriculum (Maharashtra and Tamilnadu) is focusing on CCE
and therefore DA will surely fit in.
• Teachers get ideas on how to teach (pedagogy).
• Teachers are seeing that testing is becoming simpler for them with DA.
• Some schools will be putting DA into their Assessment programme the
next year.
• Students are excited to use Technology.

23. Suggestions:
• User names and passwords should be shorter & smaller.
• The 8th test in the end should be a combination of all topics in all the subjects
taken.
• Parents should be able to see their child’s reports on the system. Links
should be given to them.
• Remedial measures for parents are same as given to teachers. They need to
be worded differently.
• Instead of remedial measures for student reports a list of questions dealing
with the same concepts should be given for practice.
• The language in the questions can be a bit more simpler.
• Comprehension passages need to be shorter in English.
Key Issues:
• Teachers have to spend 2 to 3 periods to complete the whole process related
to mobiles and this took away much of their teaching time.
• A lot of paper consumption.

24. Best Practices:
• Request Books are maintained in which the teachers put in their requests and
then the computer teachers put these requests on the EI system.
• DA questions are incorporated into the summative papers as well.
• Teacher sheets too are being used for remediation.
• Many schools have made DA a part of their Formative Assessment
Programme.
• Remediation period is scheduled in the teaching plan.
• Subject teaches sit in groups to discuss reports and identify teaching strategies
for strengthening conceptual understanding.
• Some of the remedial guidelines are used as mini projects for activity based
assessment.
