REET Level 2 study notes
Evaluation in Sanskrit
Evaluation in Sanskrit teaching means judging a learner's growth across the four bhāṣā-kauśala — śravaṇa, bhāṣaṇa, paṭhana, lekhana — through both formative (continuous) and summative (terminal) tools. For REET Level 2 Sanskrit, candidates must distinguish achievement from diagnostic tests, design a praśna-patra blueprint, use rubrics and portfolios, assess oral recitation, and follow CCE plus the NEP-2020 competency-based, holistic progress card. The aim is improvement, not only marks: diagnose error, then give upacārātmaka (remedial) teaching for Class 6 to 8.
Key points
- RBSE Sanskrit syllabus names three evaluation tools for this topic: oral (maukhika), written (likhita), diagnostic (nidānātmaka).
- A tool is formative or summative by its purpose and timing, not by its format — the same dictation can be either.
- Achievement (upalabdhi) tests measure how much was learned; diagnostic (nidānātmaka) tests find why a learner fails.
- Diagnostic results lead to upacārātmaka (remedial) teaching, never to a lower grade alone.
- Bloom — cognitive taxonomy; Vygotsky — zone of proximal development and scaffolding; Krashen — input hypothesis and affective filter; Tyler — objective model.
- CCE is continuous and comprehensive: scholastic plus co-scholastic, including attitude and participation.
- A praśna-patra blueprint maps every item to a learning objective and skill; rubrics make recitation scoring transparent.
- NEP-2020 reframes reporting as competency-based and holistic — a progress card, not a single rank.
- Recurring learners Ravi, Mohana, Mīrā, Karan and the teacher Sītā tie evaluation choices to real teaching decisions.
- MCQ traps: formative-vs-summative, achievement-vs-diagnostic, theorist mis-attribution, CCE-as-more-exams.
