The result of Social science pedagogy is given below:

Median:

Class corresponding to 25 is 20-24

L=19.5, cf=15, f=10, h=5

Mode= 3 median – 2 mean

Mode= (3 × 22.5) – (2× 23.42)

= 67.5 – 46.84

= 20.66

The histogram for the frequency level of the Social science pedagogy is given below:-

From the above frequency polygon, I can interpret that 42 students appeared in the class test. The mark for the test is 40. Out of 40 marks –

• 1 student got marks from the range of 5-9,
• 6 students got the marks from the range of 10-14,
• 8 students got marks from the range of 15-19 and
• Only 10 students got marks from the range of 20-24,
• 6 students got marks from the range 25-29,
• 6 students got marks from the of 30-34
• 3 student got marks from the 35-39
• 2 student got marks from the 40-44

The highest frequency is falls under the range of 20-24 and the lowest frequency is falling under 5-9 and 40-44. The statistical data of the test is given below:

Mean= 23.42

Median= 22.5

Mode=20.66

Steps of preparing a blueprint:

To conduct an achievement test we have to follow some steps. Here prepare a blueprint for both of the pedagogy i.e., social science and Assamese necessary steps have followed and questions also prepared accordingly.

1	Manurom Majuli	Analysis	Majuli Island has been a known centre of cultural activities since at least the middle of the 17th century when the great Vaishnava monasteries were founded at the initiative of the Ahom kingdom. Being based on the Neo-Vaishnava ideals, these monasteries (Satras) and numerous villages are the centres at the cultivation of colourful Assamese classical dance and music(Satriya Nritya and geet) and theatrical performances(Bhaonas), art and craft. With ideals of non-violence and social harmony preached by Sankardeva, and the Satra institutions as an instrument of upholding them, the people of Majuli Island at large have not only maintained a continuous cultural link with the greater Indian society, but at the same time, have also contributed to the ideals of the world peace-keeping bodies at large.	eassy	Difficult	7
