The K to 12 GRADING SYSTEM

Page 2: Episode 8

In the K to 12 curriculums, a student’s grades are based on his/her written work,

performance task and quarterly assessment.

The weights of the components (written work, performance task and quarterly

assessment) very among groups of subjects from Grade 1 to 10 and from Grade 11 to

12. See tables below:

Components of Summative Assessment

A. Written Work includes “long quizzes and unit or long tests. Other written work may include essays, written reports, and other written output…” It is strongly recommended that items in long quizzes and tests be distributed across the cognitive process dimensions of Anderom and Krathwohl (2001)”- DepEd Order8, s.2015.

The written Work component “ensures that students’ are able to express skills and concepts in written form.”

If you are locking for the application KPUP (knowledge, process, understanding and performance of DepO. 73, s.2012) This is it. In assessment, teacher sees to it that written test assess the cognitive processes of remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating with emphasis on the higher dimensions.

B. “The Performance Task component allows learners to show what they know and are able to do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate products or do

Page 3: Episode 8

performance-based tasks. Performance-based tasks may include skills demonstration, group, presentation, and work, multimedia presentation and research projects. (DepEd, Order 8, s. 2015).

C. Quarterly Assessment measures student learning at the end of the quarter. These may be objective test, Performance based assessment or a combination of both. (DepEd order 8 s. 2015)

Reporting Learner’s Program

DepEd Order 08, s. 2015 states:

The summary of the learning progress is shown quarterly to parents and guardians through parent-teacher conference, in which the report card is discussed. The table below presents the grading scale with its corresponding descriptions and remarks.

My Learning Activities

Page 4: Episode 8

Activity 1: Interview of Resource Teacher

Interview Guide Question for Resource Teacher

Based on DepEd Order 8, s.2015:

1. What are the bases for grading?

2. How do you compute grades per quarter for Grades 1-10 and Grades 11-12? Give an example.

3. How do you compute grades at the end of the school year?

4. What descriptors and grading scale are used in reporting progress for learners?

5. What are the bases for learners’ promotion and retention at the end of the school year?

6. What is the report on learners’ observed values?

Activity 2: Interview of Five (5) Students

Page 5: Episode 8

Interview Guide Questions for Five Students

1. What do you like in new grading system?

2. Do you have problems with the new grading system, if there is, what?

3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of your performance? Why or why not?

Activity 3: Grade Computation

Show sample computations of a grade in a subject of your choice either from Grades 1 to10 and Grades 11 to 12. Show the percentage contribution of written work, performance tasks and quarterly assessment: Then give the descriptor. (Ask your Resource Teacher his/her work).

Quarterly Assessment (Test)

Learner’s Raw Score Highest Possible Score

2. Obtain the Percentage Score for each of the component by dividing the total raw score by the highest possible score then multiply the quotient by 100%.

Percentage Score of Written Work __________________________________Percentage Score of Performance Task______________________________Percentage Score of Quarterly Assessment___________________________

3. Covert Percentage Scores to weighted scores by multiplying the percentage score by the weight of the component. Refer to the Tables on weights of Components per subject for Grades 1 to 10 and for Grades 11 to 12 on page 91-92.

The Weighted Score of Written Work________________________________ The Weighted Score of Performance Task___________________________The Weighted Score of Quarterly Assessment_________________________

4. Add the weighted Scores of each component. This will give you the initial grade.

5. Transmute the Initial Grade using the Transmutation Table in Appendix G.

6. Give the descriptor of the computed final grade of the subject. Refer to Table of Descriptors on page 92.

knowledge, skills and values learned (outcome based education) Do grades

really matter?
