DEPED GUIDELINES ON CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT FOR THE K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

Topic: Grading System of the Department of Education


Intended Learning Outcomes: At the end of the lesson the students should be able to : something by unnecessary doing something by doing
1. compute grade of students at various levels using Department of Education guidelines.
2. Explain the policy of DepEd on classroom assessment.
3. Identify the three components of student’s grade
Introduction: The results of instruction are so varied that the single mark is really doing something by an unnecessarily complicated means what could be done simply as
far as indicating what a student has achieved.
Inputs: In line with the implementation of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 (Republic Act No. 10533), the Department of Education

For Grades 1 to 12

In a grading period, there is one Quarterly Assessment but there should be instances for students to produce Written Work and to demonstrate what they know and can do
through Performance Tasks. There is no required number of Written Work and Performance Tasks, but these must be spread out over the quarter and used to assess
learners’ skills after each unit has been taught.

How to Compute for Final Grades and General Average in DepEd K to 12 Grading System
The following are the steps in computing for the Final Grades.

Step 1: Grades from all student work are added up.

This results in the total score for each component, namely Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment.

Raw scores from each component have to be converted to a Percentage Score. This is to ensure that values are parallel to each other.

Step 2: The sum for each component is converted to the Percentage Score.
To compute the Percentage Score (PS), divide the raw score by the highest possible score then multiply the quotient by 100%. This is shown below:

Step 3: Percentage Scores are then converted to Weighted Scores to show the importance of each component in promoting learning in the
different subjects.

To do this, the Percentage Score is multiplied by the weight of the component found in Table 4 for Grades 1 to 10 and Table 5 for Senior High School. The product is
known as the Weighted Score (WS).
Table 4. Weight of the Components for Grades 1-10

The grading system for Senior High School (SHS) follows a different set of weights for each component. Table 5 presents the weights for the core and track subjects.

Table 5. Weight of the Components for SHS


Step 4: The sum of the Weighted Scores in each component is the Initial Grade.

This Initial Grade will be transmuted using the given transmutation table to get the Quarterly Grade (QG).

Step 5: The Quarterly Grade for each learning area is written in the report card of the student.

For a better understanding of how to record the summative assessments, Table 6 presents a sample class record showing three learners for the first quarter of Grade 4
English. On the basis of this class record, Table 7 presents a step-by-step process on how to compute for the Quarterly Grade.

Table 7. Steps for Computing Grades
Steps for Computing Grades
1. Get the total score for each component.
2. Divide the total raw score by the highest possible score then multiply the quotient by 100%.
3. Convert Percentage Scores to Weighted Scores. Multiply the Percentage Score by the weight of the component indicated in Table 4 and Table 5.
4. Add the Weighted Scores of each component. The result will be the Initial Grade.
5. Transmute the Initial Grade using the Transmutation Table.
For MAPEH, individual grades are given to each area, namely, Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health. The quarterly grade for MAPEH is the average of the
quarterly grades in the four areas.
How are grades computed at the end of the school year?
For Kindergarten

There are no numerical grades in Kindergarten. Descriptions of the learners’ progress in the various learning areas are represented using checklists and student portfolios.
These are presented to the parents at the end of each quarter for discussion. Additional guidelines on the Kindergarten program will be issued.

For Grades 1-10

The average of the Quarterly Grades (QG) produces the Final Grade.

The General Average is computed by dividing the sum of all final grades by the total number of learning areas. Each learning area has equal weight.
The Final Grade in each learning area and the General Average are reported as whole numbers. Table 8 shows an example of the Final Grades of the different learning
areas and General Average of a Grade 4 student.

Table 8. Final Grades and General Average

For Grades 11 and 12

The two quarters determine the Final Grade in a semester. Table 9 shows an example in Grade 11, second semester for the Accounting, Business, and Management (ABM)
strand.
Table 9. Grade 11, 2nd Semester of ABM strand

How is the learner’s progress reported?


The summary of learner progress is shown quarterly to parents and guardians through a parent-teacher conference, in which the report card is discussed. The grading scale,
with its corresponding descriptors, are in Table 10. Remarks are given at the end of the grade level.
Table 10. Descriptors, Grading Scale, and Remarks

Using the sample class record in Table 6, LEARNER A received an Initial Grade of 84.86 in English for the First Quarter, which, when transmuted to a grade of 90, is
equivalent to Outstanding. LEARNER B received a transmuted grade of 88, which is equivalent to Very Satisfactory. LEARNER C received a grade of 71, which means
that the learner Did Not Meet Expectations in the First Quarter of Grade 4 English.

When a learner’s raw scores are consistently below expectations in Written Work and Performance Tasks, the learner’s parents or guardians must be informed not later
than the fifth week of that quarter. This will enable them to help and guide their child to improve and prepare for the Quarterly Assessment. A learner who receives a grade
below 75 in any subject in a quarter must be given intervention through remediation and extra lessons from the teacher/s of that subject.

Involvement Enumeration:

1. Identify the 3 components of grade.


2. Name 5 descriptors to describe or interpret the grade
3. Cite 3 purposes of grades 4.
Individual Check: Quia is sent to you through Google FormAveraging

Intervention: Practice giving grades using Norm-referenced or Criterrion –referenced grading. Comput grades using Cumulative test or
