 Guideline for Higher Secondary Practical Evaluation 2020-21
CHEMISTRY (Class XII)
Laboratory work plays a crucial role in the proper assimilation of concepts in science. Along
with term end evaluation at the end of the academic year, practical evaluation (PE) is also to
be conducted. The skill in performing qualitative and quantitative analysis is to be
assessed through PE. The following are the guidelines to be followed while conducting PE
during the academic year 2020-21.
 Covid 19 protocol should be followed strictly during laboratory work.
 Sufficient number of apparatus is to be provided to the students.
 The apparatus should of good quality brands.
 Sufficient number (at least 30) of standardised and calibrated apparatus should be
kept aside for conducting PE.
 A minimum of 4 salts (those soluble in water) for systematic analysis of anion &
cation should be given to the students. (Anions –carbonate, acetate, chloride,
Nitrate) (Cation – Group 0, 1,3, 6)
 A minimum of 4 single titrations (Acidimetry -2, Alkalimetry – 2, should be given
for volumetric analysis.
 The Practical Log book should contain all the necessary recording related to the
experiments done in laboratory.
 Required facilities should be arranged in the laboratory for students demanding
special attention because of deformities.
 Should provide pipette individually to students.
 Pipette should be sanitized before use by a student.
 Pipetter is to be provided if available.
 Buretting method can also be adopted instead of pipetting. (Procedure for the
titration will also change accordingly).
 The score distribution (detailed split up appended) should be as follows:
o Qualitative Analysis (Anion & Cation Analysis) – 16 scores
o Quantitative Analysis (Single Titration Only) – 15 scores
o For writing principle &procedure
for Quantitative Analysis – 3 scores
o Practical Log book – 4 scores 40 scores
o Viva voce – 2 scores
 The viva voce should be done for ascertaining the awareness of concepts related to
the practical. It should not create tension to the students. It should be a casual
interaction with the students through simple questions related to practicals only to
check whether he/she has conceptual clarity in the given work.

 GUIDELINE FOR LAB WORK AND
PRACTICAL EVALUATION OF MATHEMATICS 2020-21

I. INTRODUCTION:

Numerical skills and other Maths related skills are inherent in a child. These skills can be nourished
by activity based learning and learning by doing. This system is practiced in schools of Kerala with regard
to learning of Mathematics. Learners are also getting the opportunity to learn Maths using free software
like GeoGebra upto standard X. At the Higher Secondary level, where the abstract thinking is boosted,
can be enhanced by extending the scope of IT enabled Mathematics learning. Considering this, SCERT
has prepared guidelines for introducing the concept of ‘IT Maths Lab’ at Higher Secondary level. This
guideline was approved by the 50th State Curriculum Steering Committee. Accordingly as per G. O (Rt)
No. 522/2019/Gen. Edn. Dept, Trivandrum, dt. 08/02/2019 Govt of Kerala has decided to implement
IT Maths Lab from the academic year 2019-20 onwards.The existing IT labs in Schools are to be utilised
for the functioning of IT Maths Lab. Separate IT Maths Lab is not essential.

Details of IT Maths Lab:

• For the proper functioning of the IT Maths Lab detailed Maths Lab Manuals have been prepared.

• The Lab activities are prepared based on Textual content areas of Higher Secondary Maths – Class
11 & Class 12.

• For the first year, there are 16 Lab tasks based on Class 11 Syllabus.

• For the second year, there are 25 Lab tasks based on Class 12 Syllabus.

• Each Lab consists of 2 or 3 activities and some additional activities.

Evaluation of Performance of students in IT Maths Lab:

The performance of the learner in IT Maths Lab can be evaluated as a part of Practical Evaluation of
the learner.
The details are discussed below:

II. SYLLABUS FOR PRACTICAL:

Learning outcomes associated with many topics in Higher Secondary Maths syllabus are better trans-
acted if it is discussed in Lab. So IT Maths Lab is conceived as a transaction method. There are 16 Lab
in class 11 and 25 Lab in class 12. Lab - 0 is a mandatory lab which deals with basics ideas of GeoGebra
software platform. But there will be no questions based on this Lab in Practical exam. The additional
activities in each Lab are meant for exceptional students and are not compulsory in regular Lab classes.

1
 Under the special circumstances of COVID-19, 7 labs (including Lab-0) from class 11 and 6 labs
from class 12 are suggested. Lab-0 is mandatory. From the remaining 12 labs each school can select 5 labs
( 3 labs from class 11 and 2 from class 12 or vice versa )
List of Suggested Labs

Class – 11 Class – 12
1. Lab 0: Basic concept 1. Lab 18 : Functions
2. Lab 1: Value of functions 2. Lab 19 : Invertible functions
3. Lab 2: Shifting of Graphs 3. Lab 20 : Inverse trigonometric functions
4. Lab 4: Trigonometric Functions 4. Lab 31 : Application of Integrals
5. Lab 8: Straight lines 5. Lab 34 : Vectors
6. Lab 9: Conic Sections 6. Lab 37 : The Plane
7. Lab 13: Limits

III. LAB WORK – EXECUTION:

Keep COVID Protocol while conducting Maths IT lab activities in School Computer Lab. GeoGe-
bra software and the applets specified in each lab as per manual should be installed in the systems. Each
Lab work require atmost two periods. So the time table should be arranged by clubbing two periods. The
execution of Lab consists of threefold process – Preparatory work, Performing of activities, Reporting.
Preparatory work: Students can watch the lab classes in KITE VICTERS / YouTube channel and
make a preparatory work before doing the lab activities. They should be aware of the aim and procedure
of the lab. They can use either a printed copy or a soft copy of the concerned Lab manual. The previous
knowledge for the particular Lab should be discussed in the classes prior to the Lab. All students should
have their Practical Observation Book (POB) while doing the Lab.

Performing the activities: Students should perform the activities in each Lab as per the manual.
Teacher should give necessary help while students perform each activity.

Reporting: Students should write the procedure of the Lab in POB in their own way. There will not
be any prescribed format for writing the procedure. The findings and output mentioned in Lab manual
should be written in the POB. After the completion of each Lab the concerned teacher should sign the
POB. There is only one POB for both the years and should be produced at the time of Practical Exam.
The applets created by the students as a part of the lab activities should be kept in separate folders and
should be produced during the practical examination.

IV. EVALUATION PATTERN

After the implementation of IT Maths Lab, the evaluation pattern is as follows:

2
 YEAR TE CE PE TOTAL
First Year 60 20 – 80
Second Year 60 20 40 120

The Details of Practical Evaluation is explained below.

V. PRACTICAL EVALUATION (PE)

In Practical Evaluation, only the Mathematical knowledge of students based on the syllabus are
evaluated. Necessary help in using the software will be provided along with the questions. The internal or
external examiner can also help the students in this regard. The following are the guidelines for conducting
PE.

• The questions will be strictly based on the syllabus prescribed for practical work in each year.

• The examination will be of 3 hours duration and maximum score of 40.

• Practical examination should be conducted in batches. The maximum number of students in each
batch is limited to 15.

• Students should attend the PE with the Practical Observation Book. It should compulsorily include
6 Lab works (including Lab-0) as per the directions given above, duly singed by the concerned
teacher. The same should be verified and counter signed by the external examiner at the time of
PE.

• Each student will get a question paper consisting of 5 questions, one each from the 5 labs selected at
the school (excluding Lab-0). The maximum score of each question will be 14. Students can answer
any number of questions and can get a maximum score of 32.

• The following indicators should be considered while evaluating the answers.

– Analysing the problem

– Choosing an appropriate method

– Content Knowledge

– Knowledge of the procedure

– Problem solving skill

– Generating output

• The Practical Observation Book and the saved materials will be evaluated by the external examiner.
The maximum score is 4.

Psychology ( Class XII)
Psychology is a vibrant science, with tremendous scope for application in every field of
human endeavour. Almost all the units, there scope to include practical’s to supplement the
understanding of theory and concepts. A psychological test is essentially an objective and
standardised measure of a sample of behaviour.

Experiments plays a crucial role in the proper assimilation of concepts in Psychology. Along
with the term end evaluation at the end of the academic year, practical evaluation (PE) is also to
be conducted. The skill in performing experiments is to be assessed through PE. The following
guidelines are to be followed while conducting PE during the academic year 2020-21.

• Covid-19 protocol should be followed strictly during laboratory work.

• Sufficient number of schedules, inventories or tests in printed form must be provided to
students individually to conduct practical work.
• Practical log book should contain all the necessary recordings related to the experiment
done.
• Social distancing should be there between the subject and the experimentor.
• Any one from the following experiments will be asked to conduct under the part-I ( First
year) experiments
1. Memory Span
2. Distraction of attention
• Any one from the following experiments will be asked to conduct under the part-II (
Second year) experiments
1. Adjustment Inventory
2. Personality Test
3. Anxiety Scale
• The detailed score distribution should be as follows
Maximum score for PE – 40
Part-I experiment - 10 scores
Part-II experiment - 30 scores
Writing of Introduction, Procedure, Result, Discussion, etc. -12 scores
Administration of test - 8 scores
Practical log book - 4 scores
Viva voce - 6 scores
• The viva voce should be done for ascertaining the awareness of concepts related to
practical. It should not create tension to the students. It should be a casual interaction
with the students through simple questions related to practicals only to check whether
he/she has clarity in the given work.

 GUIDELINES FOR HIGHER SECONDARY PRACTICAL EVALUATION
JOURNALISM

Journalism is a field which witnesses fascinating growth hand-in-hand with the rapid
technological changes. It is a subject which demands the learners to be multi-faceted.
Hence the area of study includes print and broadcast journalism, photography, video
production, advertising, public relations, technical writing etc. These areas demand a
wide range of skills which can be acquired only through practical training.
Practical training at higher secondary level will help the students to identify and
concentrate on core areas related to Mass Communication and Journalism.
So, along with the term end evaluation, practical evaluation (PE) is also conducted. The
skills in carrying out the practical aspects of the subject should be assessed through the
PE.

The following guidelines are to be followed while conducting the PE during the academic
year 2020-21.
● Covid-19 protocol should be strictly followed during the practical evaluation.
● Social distancing should be maintained during the viva voce and practical works.
Students can be divided into groups ranging between 15 to 20 for practical works.
Sufficient seating arrangement should also be ensured.
● Viva voice should be conducted for ascertaining the awareness of concepts related
to the works included in the portfolio and the production. The viva voce should
not create excessive tension in the mind of the candidates. It should be a casual
interaction with the students through simple questions related to the practical work
and the areas of study. The originality of the work should be appreciated.
● The PE is conducted for 40 marks and each question carries 10 scores.
● The question paper has three sections. Section A (viva voce) comprises of only
one question which is compulsory.
● Students need to answer only one question from the given three questions in
Section B. These questions require individual attention and hence can be
conducted along with the viva voce.
● Section C has four questions from which the candidate has to attend two.
● The external examiner can provide necessary guidance to the students to help them
attempt the questions with confidence.
● Ensure not to put excess pressure on the students while conducting the viva-voce.
 SECTION A
