Difference beteeen CBA-1, CBA-2 and CBA-3

Overall, the blueprint of CBA-1 and CBA-2 remained the same in terms of the type and number of questions assessed in each class. However, since the CBA-3 is a summative assessment the number of questions was increased in higher grades. Based on the evaluation of past summative papers, with the lower grades, the number of questions was not changed significantly.

In consideration of the feedback received during CBA-1 and CBA-2, it was decided
to simplify the paper by including more straightforward questions. For this, the MUA balance was changed in CBA-3 and the details of the same are given below.

Class Subjects CBA-3 MUA balance
Class 1 – 5 Mathematics, EVS 50:40:10
Class 6 – 8 Mathematics, Science, Social Science 40:40:20
All Grades English, Telugu, Hindi 30:40:30
Another highlight of the CBA-3 papers will be the use of Identical Repeats from CBA-1 and CBA-2 to help gauge the incremental improvement between the three assessments.

Classroom Based Assessments - 3 (CBA 3).

The classes and subjects that will be tested for the CBA 3 are mentioned in the table below:
Class Subjects
Class 1 – 2 English, Mathematics and Telugu
Class 3 – 5 EVS, Mathematics, English, and Telugu
Class 6 – 8 General Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, English, Telugu and Hindi

CBA-3 Activity and Description and Weightage of Marks and Execution

Activity: Textbook  Mapping
Mapping of the learning outcomes and concepts from the Andhra Pradesh curriculum textbooks to the skill blueprint.

Blueprint Creation

Type of questions:
 
Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)
Free Response Questions (FRs)
Distribution of MCQs and FRs:
Class Subjects Number of MCQs Number of FRs Duration
1 and 2 All Subjects 10 5 2.5 hours
3, 4 and 5 All Subjects 15 5 2.5 hours
6, 7 and 8* All Subjects 25 5 2.5 hours (15 minutes reading time)
 
All the questions for classes 1-3 will be read aloud by the teachers.
In Class 4 and 5, language papers, one passage will be read aloud by the teachers.
Grade 6 Hindi paper will have 20 MCQs and 10 FRs to lower the difficulty level of the paper.  

2. Mechanical, Understanding, Application (MUA) Questions Balance:
To measure the learning to date and determine the student learning needs, it is essential to use the right instruments.
The instruments should have a balance of items in terms of cognitive domain along with content domain being tested.

The questions used in the assessments are characterized on the basis of the cognitive ability they demand for solving them.
The questions are classified as Mechanical(M), Understanding(U) and Application(A) based questions.

Considering the nature of the assessments and in order to simplify the paper, CBA3 is developed with the modified MUA balance as follows.  

MUA Mechanical(M), Understanding(U) and Application(A) paper balance:
Class Subjects MUA balance
Class 1 – 5 Mathematics, EVS 50:40:10
Class 6 – 8 Mathematics, Science, Social Science 40:40:20
All Grades English, Telugu, Hindi 30:40:30

Percentage of Application questions was reduced to 10% in the lower grades to ensure that more straightforward questions are asked in the paper.

However, for language papers this was kept as 30% as Free-response questions are descriptive writing questions and hence categorized as Application-based questions.

Depending on the topics being tested, there might be +/- 10% variation in the MUA balance in the test papers. It was given more weightage to understanding questions for certain concepts to get meaningful insights.  

Difficulty level:
The difficulty level of the assessment tools will be maintained between 50-55%. It was also ensured that 70% of the paper is similar to what the students are familiar with based on past assessments and eventually build their capacity on MCQ-based assessments.  

Identical Repeats:
In the Classroom Based Assessment - 3 papers, 20% of Identical Repeats (IRs) were used. This 20% will comprise the questions from Classroom Based Assessment - 1 and Classroom Based Assessment - 2 round to help gauge the incremental improvement between the three assessments.  

Marking Scheme:


The following marking scheme is adopted after consideration of past papers, duration of the assessments and total marks allotted to each grade-subject.
  Class www.apteachers.in MCQs FRs Total Questions Total Marks
Count Marks Count Marks
1 and 2 10 20 5 30 15 50
