HYDERABAD: Telangana State Council for Higher Education (TSCHE) and Commissioner of Collegiate Education (CCETS) in collaboration with the Indian School of Business (ISB) organized a workshop on Synergizing Curriculum and Assessment on Monday.
Conducted as part of a study of grading and evaluation systems in higher education in the state, the purpose of the study is to evaluate current grading frameworks and make recommendations for the adoption of next-generation grading systems.
During the workshop, Chandrashekar Sripada, Practice Professor of Organizational Behavior at ISB, explained the need to go beyond the current conventional research system and explore the adoption of comprehensive assessment systems.
“There is a need for the right measures to get the expected results, for which the focus must also shift from just the curriculum to evaluation processes. This brings the question of ‘what is expected of students’ onto the policy table,” said Navin Mittal, commissioner of collegiate and technical education.
