K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum

What is K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum?

Republic Act 10533 also known as “Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013”, is a program which encompasses at least one (1) year of kindergarten education, six (6) years of elementary education and six (6) of secondary education, in that sequence. Secondary education includes four (4) years of junior high school and two (2) years of senior high school.

The standards of the curriculum:a. learner-centeredb. relevant, responsive and research-basedc. culture-sensitived. contextualized and globale. uses pedagogical approaches that are constructivist,

inquiry-based, reflective, collaborative, and integrativef. adheres to the principles and framework of MTB-MLEg. uses spiral progression approach to ensure mastery of

knowledge and skills after each levelh. flexible enough to enable and allow schools to localize,

indigenize and enhance the same based on their respective educational and social contexts.

The Assessment:

From Knowledge (K)15%, Process or skills (P)25%, Understanding(s) (U)30%, Performance/ Products (P) 30% (DepEd Order # 31 s. 2012) to Written Works (WW), Performance Tasks (PT) and Quarterly Assessment (QA) (DepEd Order # 8s. 2015).

How are learners assessed in the classroom?

What is the Grading System?

How is learner progress recorded and computed?

How are grades computed at the end of the School Year?

How is the learner’s progress reported?The summary of learner progress is shown quarterly to parents and guardian through a parent-teacher conference, in which the report card is discussed.

How are learners promoted and retained at the end of the School Year?

For Grades 11 & 12

On Remediation

To whom is classroom assessment be reported?

Classroom assessment serves to help teachers and parents understand the learners’ progress on curriculum standards. The results of assessment are reported to the child, the child’s remedial class teacher, if any, and the teacher of the next grade level, as well as the child’s parents/guardian.

Transmutation Table

Steps for Computing Grades1. Get the total score for each component.Example: Learner’s Raw Score Highest Possible ScoreWritten Work 1 18 20Written Work 2 20 20Written Work 3 22 25Written Work 4 17 20Written Work 5 23 25Written Work 6 26 30Written Work 7 19 20 Total (Written Work) 145 160

Performance Task 1 12 15Performance Task 2 13 15Performance Task 3 19 25Performance Task 4 15 20Performance Task 5 16 20Performance Task 6 25 25 Total (Performance Task) 100 120

Quarterly Assessment 40 50

2. Divide the total raw score by the highest possible score then multiply the quotient by 100%.

Percentage Score (PS)= 145 x 100% = 90.33 (Written 160 Work)

Percentage Score (PS) = 100 x 100% = 83.33 (Performance

120 Task)

Percentage Score (PS) = 40 x 100% = 80.00 (Quarterly

50 Assessment)

3. Convert Percentage Scores to Weighted Scores. Multiply the Percentage Score by the weight of the component indicated in Table 4 and Table 5.

Example: Science: WW= 40%, PT =40%, QA =20% Weighted Score (WS)= 90.63 x 0.40 = 36.25 (WW) Weighted Score (WS)= 83.33 x 0.40 = 33.33 (PT)

Weighted Score (WS)= 80.00 x 0.20 = 16 (QA)4. Add the Weighted Scores of each component. The result will be the Initial Grade.

Written Work = 36.25Performance Tasks = 33.33Quarterly Assessment = 16.00Total = 85.58 (Initial

Grade)

5. Transmute the initial Grade using the Transmutation Table in Appendix B.

The initial Grade is 85.58.The transmuted Grade is 90.

The Quarterly Grade in English for the 1st Quarter is 90.This is reflected in the Report Card.
