- Pinpoint difficult learning areas in various topics.
- Suggest remedial actions for teachers to improve instructional strategies and student understanding.
Procedure
- Student performance is influenced by several factors like learning experiences, resource availability, school type and location, and question type.
- Overall achievement in the subject is assessed by the total marks obtained by students.
- The procedure involved selection of answer scripts for analysis and selection of tools.
- 100 answer scripts were analysed from Delhi and outside Delhi regions.
Selection of Answer Scripts
- Stratified random sampling was used to select answer scripts independently of particular variables from Delhi, Panchkula, Ajmer, Allahabad, and Chennai
- The first question paper from each category (Delhi and outside Delhi) was chosen for uniformity.
- The 100 answer scripts from each region were selected based on marks:
- Category I: 0-27 marks (25 scripts)
- Category II: 28-40 marks (25 scripts)
- Category III: 41-60 marks (25 scripts)
- Category IV: 61-80 marks (25 scripts)
Question Paper & Tools
- Delhi region used mathematics Question paper 30/1/1, while outside Delhi used question paper 30/1 from the 2008 Board examination.
- Data was analyzed quantitatively using mean percentage and qualitatively through error analysis and remedial measures.
Categories of Marks for Pie Charts
- Q. No. 11 to 15:
- 1½ and 2 marks represented as ‘almost correct’.
- ½ and 1 mark represented as ‘some error’.
- Not attempted or 0 marks represented as ‘unable to attempt’.
- Q. No. 16 to 25:
- 2½ and 3 marks represented as 'almost correct'.
- 1½ and 2 marks represented as ‘minor errors’.
- ½ and 1 marks represented as ‘major errors’.
- Not attempted and 0 marks represented as ‘unable to attempt’.
- Q. No. 26-30:
- 5 to 6 marks represented as ‘almost correct’.
- 3 to 4½ marks represented as ‘minor errors’.
- ½ to 2½ marks represented as 'major errors'.
- Not attempted and 0 marks represented as ‘unable to attempt’
Selection of Working Group
- The working group included experienced classroom teachers, teacher educators, examiners of Board answer scripts, NCERT experts, and subject specialists from Delhi University.
- Detailed discussions were held to analyze student performance and finalize observations and findings.
