\"The<\/a>In a bid to help a report card serve as an intrinsic medium to provide an insight into a student\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s overall academic performance to make positive communication easier among teachers, parents, and students, Akshan Ish from National Institute of Design (NID) has undertaken the project to redesign the cluttered report currently given by the CBSE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The report card currently given by the CBSE was observed in detail to understand the current evaluation system and how it conveys the performance of students\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 to their teachers and parents.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cThe project explores the possibility of creating an interface to encourage a meaningful dialogue among parents, teachers and students to ensure students\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 growth,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Akshan Ish.<\/p>\n

Casting light on the project, Ish explained,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d I started it with two points in my mind. Why students are scared of showing the report card to their parents and the kind of dialogue between parents and students regarding school performance. I found gaps in actual learning in school and that reported in report cards and so, I started meeting schoolteachers, parents and principals to understand the details of the report card. And, the outcome of the interaction was \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d CCE implemented by CBSE made it difficult for parents to understand the performance of students \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d primarily because of packing too much information in a cluttered manner.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/p>\n

Keeping all these factors in mind, Akshan Ish has suggested that a report card should be a progress card as already stated in Right to Education 2009. He is also in strong favor of promoting students up to grade 8th<\/sup> without any failure in the school. Showing his dissatisfaction with the overall grade system on the current report card, he has removed them.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cIn order to make it more meaningful, the redesigned report card has a clear information hierarchy to guide parents through sections like scholastic, co-scholastic areas. The important point is that the grading scales for each section are different. Earlier, they were at the end or the back of the card making it difficult to make sense of the sea of alphabets presented in the card (grades). To make this comprehensible, we added the grading scale for each section next to the main content so as to make it clearer and easier for reference,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d he said.<\/p>\n

Akshan is now looking forward to send his proposal to CBSE.
