Nature, purpose, And
Rationale For Assigning
Grades
■ Processed through absolute grading as it is the
only form of assigning grades that is compatible
with the mastery of teaching and learning
strategies" Mekeachie, W. J. (1986)
PURPOSES OF ASSIGNING GRADES
■ As an evaluation of student work.
■ As a means of communicating to students, parents,
graduate schools, professional schools, and future
employers about a student's performance in
college and potential for future success.
■ As a source of motivation to students for continued
Learning and improvement.
■ As a means of organizing a lesson, a unit, or a
semester in that grades mark transitions in a
course and bring closure to it.
RATIONALE OF ASSIGNING
GRADES
■ The main reason why we assign grades to
students is because grades are used as evaluation
of student work, it is important that grades
accurately reflect the quality of student work, and
that student work is graded fairly.

students' educational performance based on
certain criteria.

PERCENTAGE GRADES
■ AVERAGING
Practice of calculating semester, end-of-term, or end-of-year
course grades by taking the sum of all numerical grades
awarded in the course and then dividing the sum by the total
number of grades.
How to compute percentage
average?
■ Just simply add all the percentage grades of the student
and divide the sum to the total number of activities.
■ CUMULATIVE
The grade of a student in a grading period equals his
currents grading period which is assumed to have the
cumulative effects of the previous grading system.
How to calculate the Cumulative Grade Point Average
(GPA)?Formula:
Cumulative total points = CUMULATIVE GPA
Total Credit hours
Steps:
1. Obtain your semester GPAs and credit hours GPA for
each semester.
Number of credit hours for each.
2. Calculate your total points
Multiply each semester’s GPA by the number of credit hours for
that semester to
determine your total points.
3. Determine your total points by your total credit
hours
Take the sum of credit hours for each of the semesters.
Take the sum of the total points for each semester.
4. Divide your total points by your total credit hours
Cumulative total points = CUMULATIVE GPA

What is the Grading System?
The K to 12 Basic Education Program uses a standards-and
competency-based grading system. These are found in the
curriculum guides.
■ All grades are based on the weighted raw score of the
learners’ summative assessments.
■ The minimum grade needed to pass a specific learning
area is 60, which is transmuted to 75 in the report card.
■ 60 is the lowest mark that can appear on the report card
for Quarterly Grades and Final Grades
Grades 1-12
Written Work (WW)
Performance Tasks (PT)
Quarterly Assessment (QA)
How is learner progress recorded & computed?
1. For Kindergarten
■ Checklists and anecdotal records are used instead of
numerical grades.
■ Checklists to indicate whether or not the child can
demonstrate knowledge &/or perform the tasks expected
of K learners.
■ Anecdotal records or narrative reports to describe
learners' behaviour, attitude, & effort in school work.
■ Teachers keep a portfolio for each learner which contains
learners' output such as writing samples, activity sheets &
2. 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 & can do through Performance
Tasks.
■ There is no required number of Written Work & Performance
Tasks, but these must be spread out over the quarter & used
to assess learners’ skills after each unit has been taught.
■ 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 score from each component have to be converted to a
Percentage Score
Step 2: The sum for each component is converted to the Percentage
Score
■ Learners Total raw
x score
PERCENTAGE SCORE(PS) Highest Possible
= 100%
score
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.
Weighted The
Score product
(WS) is known
Percentage Score as the Weighted Score
x Weight

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.
