PREFACE
Among other programmes and activities the syllabi review and its Unitization is one of the
significant activities of SIE. The document, with an eye on main learning objectives, is prepared to
facilitate teachers to plan their classroom activities in a time bound manner. To bring in an element
of accountability is another big objective of this exercise.
The text- book development being a continuous process at J&K Board of School Education, the
review and updating of syllabi always call for its modernization to meet the challenges of modern day
world. Therefore, SIE always welcomes the constructive suggestions from the stake holders to make
this exercise more effective in future.
I am thankful to DIET/SIE faculty and the subject experts from the field, especially, the ones who were
practically involved in getting this document set.
My special thanks go to wing heads and the field advisors N. A. Kanth, Promod Durani and A. K.
Saniyal for sharing their rich experiences in shaping this document.
Child Desires
Trust and confidence to approach the teachers and the peers.
Freedom to express himself/herself before the teachers.
The sense of values and compliments.
Feel confident to make mistakes, explore and learn.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. The Unit Courses U1and U2 shall carry Aggregate weightage of 10 marks each. The term
test T1 shall carry the weightage of 30 marks. This test shall be based on the entire course
meant for Term 1st including the chapters specified under U1 and U2.
2. The unit course U3 shall carry aggregate weightage of 10 marks and the term course T2 a
weightage of 40 marks. The term 2nd shall be based on the entire course meant for 2nd term
including the chapters covered under U3.
3. In both term tests, a weightage of 02 marks shall be given to each of the related unit course.
4. To appreciate the element of diagonal linkage, a weightage of 08 marks in T2 test shall be
earmarked for the assessment of contents prescribed for Term First.
5. The diagonal linkage shall continue essential component of tools in T2 test.
6. The multiple assessment tools and techniques in both scholastic and co-scholastic course
areas shall be used. For this weightage of one-unit test shall be earmarked for testing
technique other than the routine paper pencil type.
In class 1st and 2nd, Students Records of Observations, Teachers record of
observations (Teacher Diary), class work (note book etc.) are suggestive techniques.
Likewise, Students Portfolio (covering different work samples and even achievement in
different tests) and Surveys are suggestive options. In addition to the technique /Tool,
Concept of mapping and projects are also recommended for upper classes.
7. EVS for class 3rd to 5th is a single subject of study and activities. The practice of fragmenting
this into social science with two separate periods and therefore testing separately
discourages the objective of its integration besides overburdens the learner. The schools
shall ensure its testing as a single subject.
VII
Use of TLMS Should be versatile in nature. Loose materials are generally more versatile as they can be put to use in multiple way
for different levels of learning.
b) The picture used should be familiar and contextually relevant.
c) Work-books should be provided to children for practice writing
d) Assessment should be an integral part of learning.
e) Writing practice on 4-line note-book should be encouraged.
f) Drawing and Coloring etc should be encouraged for psychomotor development of students.
g) Small team games, that can be played without any specific accessories should be encouraged.
h) Role play based on real life characters and experiences need to be encouraged.
i) Number games can also be helpful in understanding the learning level of students.
