आधारभूत तह (कक्षा १-३) को पाठ्यक्रम २०७६ अनुसार कक्षा १-३ मा विषयक्षेत्र (Theme) अनुसार हरेक थिमको पठनपाठन पश्चात पाठ्यक्रममा तोकीएबमोजिमका सिकाइ उपलब्धि के कति पूरा भए भनि मूल्याङ्कन गर्ने र उक्त मूल्याङ्कनको अभिलेख राख्नुपर्ने व्यवस्था छ । कक्षा १-३ मा त्रैमासिक वा वार्षिक परीक्षाको व्यवस्था गरिएको छैन । अन्तिम मूल्याङ्कनको लागि निरन्तर रुपमा गरिएको थिम अनुसारको मूल्याङ्कनबाट प्राप्त अंकलाई जोडेर विद्यार्थीलाई ग्रेडसिट दिने व्यवस्था गरिएको छ ।

कक्षा १-३ मा गरिने विद्यार्थी मूल्याङ्कनलाई सिकाइ प्रक्रियाकै अभिन्न अङ्गका रूपमा प्रयोग गर्नु पर्दछ । यस्तो मूल्याङ्कनको मुख्य उद्देश्य विद्यार्थीको सिकाइ उपलब्धि तथा कमजोरीहरूको निरन्तर लेखाजोखा गरी सिकाइ सुधारका लागि पृष्ठपोषण प्रदान गर्नु हो ।

आधारभूत तह (कक्षा १-३) को पाठ्यक्रम २०७६ मा व्यवस्था गरिएका मूल्याङ्कनका साधनहरु निम्न बमोजिम छन् ।

मूल्याङ्कन कसरी गर्ने ?

- पहिलो चरणमा दैनिक कक्षा क्रियाकलापका रूपमा विद्यार्थीको सिकाइको मूल्याङ्कन गरी विद्यार्थीको सिकाइ सुधार गर्नुपर्दछ ।  मूल्याङ्कनको दोस्रो चरणमा कुनै सिकाइ उपलब्धि हासिल भयो वा भएन भनी उल्लिखित तरिका तथा साधनमध्ये उपयुक्त साधनहरू प्रयोग गरी विद्यार्थीको मूल्याङ्कन गरी सिकाइस्तर अभिलेखीकरण गर्नुपर्दछ ।

- यसरी अभिलेखित सिकाइस्तर १ वा २ मात्र भएमा सुधारात्मक सिकाइको योजना निर्माण गरी कम्तीमा उपलब्धिस्तर ३ पुर्‍याउने प्रयास गर्नुपर्दछ । उपलब्धिस्तर ३ प्राप्त गरेको विद्यार्थीलाई समेत ४ पुर्‍याउन सहयोग गर्नुपर्छ । यदि पटक पटकको प्रयासबाट पनि कुनै विद्यार्थीको उपलब्धिस्तरमा सुधार हुन नसकेमा यसको कारण खोजी गरी उपचारात्मक सिकाइको योजना बनाउनुपर्दछ भने अन्यलाई अग्रिम सिकाइमा सरिक गराउनुपर्दछ । सुधारात्मक सिकाइ पछि पुनः विद्यार्थीको मूल्याङ्कन गरी उपलब्धिस्तर निर्धारण गरेर पुनःअभिलेखीकरण गर्नुपर्छ । निश्चित सिकाइक्षेत्रका सिकाइउपलब्धिहरूको सिकाइ परीक्षणपश्चात् सो सिकाइक्षेत्रको औसत सिकाइ उपलब्धिसमेत गणना गरी विद्यार्थी र अभिभावकसँग छलफल गरी विद्यार्थीका सबलता र सुधारका क्षेत्र र उपाय पहिचान गर्नुपर्छ ।
