Each and Every knowledge from time immemorial is registered in our brain. We know everything. But the sad fact is that we do not know that we know everything
Someone has to help us reveal the blanket with which the knowledge already in our subconscious mind is covered. This is the role of a teacher.
Now the educational system recommended in India has actually taken this idea to be granted. CBSE says, "Teachers need not teach things, but tell the students what to learn and how to learn. Let the students learn themselves. The teacher has the role of a mentor and a facilitator. "
Formative Assessment:
CBSE Says
"Formative assessment is a tool used by the teacher to continuously monitor student progress in a non-threatening and supportive environment. If used effectively it can improve student performance tremendously while raising the self esteem of the child and reducing the work load of the teacher. Some of the main features of Formative assessment are that it is diagnostic and remedial, provides effective feedback to students, allows for the active involvement of students in their own learning, enables teachers to adjust teaching to take account of the results of assessment and recognizes the profound influence that assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students, both of which are crucial influences in learning."
