Preparing a Blueprint for a question paper is not an easy task. You have to be focused and will need a thorough knowledge of the curriculum of the subject matter. In this post, you will learn how to prepare a science blueprint step by step.
To set a balanced question paper for the Science subject or any subject you have to follow six basic steps which I have already discussed in the post, question paper setting. After clarifying the weightage of objectives of questions, types of questions, content, estimated time, and estimated difficulty level, you will be able to prepare the Blueprint of the Science question Paper.
In the Science question paper setting, the weightage of the objectives will be different from other subjects. There will be more knowledge and understanding level questions as compared to application level questions. There will be a minimum percentage from the skill level questions off science.
I have given a sample Blueprint of Science question paper which will be very helpful to learn how to prepare a blueprint for the Science subject for B.Ed. practical Files.
