Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to find out the alignment between the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) of Single National Curriculum (SNC, 2022) and students’ formative assessments at elementary level (Grade VI, VII &VIII). For the investigation of alignment a mixed method approach is followed with both quantitative and qualitative measure of the test items and the SLOs given in English curriculum. For qualitative measure the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (2001) and for quantitative measure theoretical framework of (Porter, 2002) is employed. Data related to formative assessments is collected from Government School of Nowshehra, district Sargodha and data related to SLOs is collected from English SNC. The formative assessments of students show (80%) alignment for grade VI, (73%) alignment for grade VII and (66%) alignment for grade VIII. So overall assessments show a satisfactory level of alignment with the curriculum SLOs. With respect to the cognitive demand level ‘applying’ level shows high coverage in formative assessments. With respect to language skills ‘vocabulary and grammar’ shows higher representation in formative assessments.
