Effectiveness of Self- Assessment of Selected Topics in Science in Terms of Achievement at Class IX Level

The researcher conducted the present study on innovative assessment from active involvement point of view. The objective was “to compare mean pre and post achievement scores in the group treated through selfassessmentexercises for class IX students”. Hypothesis of the study was “there will be no significant difference between mean pre and post achievement scores in the group treated through self- assessment exercises for class IX students”. The researcher followed random sampling technique for the selection of school from the list of M. P. Board affiliated schools. There were thirty eight students in the class for self- assessment exercises at Son India School, Indore (M.P.). An achievement test developed by the researcher was administered for data collection. The topics included were; Organization in the living world: Cell and cell structure, Tissues, Classification of living organisms, Chemical bonding and Chemical reactions. The research was conducted by following pre test- post test single group design. Statistical calculations done by calculating the mean, SD, r and ‘t’ value of the collected data. The results indicate that the mean post achievement (50.26) scores are significantly higher than pre achievement (48.05) scores of students treated through self- assessment practices. This paper is an attempt to explore the idea for best possible achievement level in the learners for transferring it into daily routine life practices.
