Abstract

This research work entitled Implementation of Continuous Assessment System in Schools has been carried out to find out the tools adopted by the teachers on implementing continuous assessment system in the classroom. In order to carry out this research, I have used purposive non random sampling procedures to select twenty basic level teachers and thirty students from Dang district. The tools applied for data collection were questionnaire having closed ended and open ended questions for teachers and interview for students. The data obtained was analyzed descriptively and interpreted using simple statistical tools. After the interpretation of the raw data obtained from the teachers, it was found that the teachers are using the most of the tools but project work and creative work are some of the tools which are less used but the information/ data obtained from the students shows that among the tools which are recommended by CDC teachers are frequently using attendance, homework/ class work, self evaluation, peer evaluation and discussion but project work and creative work are some of the tools which are not used by teachers.
