M.E.S Indian School is all set to embrace the latest development of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to introduce the Open Book Assessment for students. The new method is aimed at encouraging competency-based learning and critical thinking instead of memorisation, thus enabling the students to receive a well-rounded and more comprehensive learning experience.
The most important theme of the Open Book Assessment is to assess students based on their capacity to comprehend and apply concepts rather than memorise facts. The students can use their textbooks while administering the test, which promotes deeper learning of the subject matter and develops analytical skills. MES Indian School became the first school to implement this student-centric and future-oriented education process, which allows its students to build critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and develop an interest in studies more profoundly.
“As a leading educational institution in Qatar, we ascertain that learning could be more than memorisation and recollection of facts. Open Book Assessment programme aligns perfectly with our school’s vision of providing a balanced and rewarding learning experience,” remarked Dr Hameeda Kadar, Principal, M.E.S Indian School.
