The document summarizes the new K-12 grading system implemented in the Philippines. It discusses that assessment is now integrated into daily classroom activities and includes both formative and summative evaluations. Grades are based on weighted scores from written work, performance tasks, and quarterly assessments. Students need a final grade of at least 75 in all subjects to promote to the next grade level, or they may need to take remedial classes. The goal is for assessment to enhance the teaching and learning process.

• Classroom assessment is an ongoing process of
identifying, gathering, organizing, and interpreting
quantitative and qualitative information about
what learners know and can do.

5. Two Types of
Classroom Assessment
Formative Assessment
- Formative Assessment may
be seen as assessment for
learning so the teachers can
make adjustments in their
instruction.
- FA is given at any time
during the teaching and
learning process.
Summative Assessment
- Summative assessment may
be seen as assessment of
learning which occurs at the
end of a particular unit
- This form of assessment
usually occurs at the end of a
particular unit.

6. Two Types of
Classroom Assessment
Formative Assessment
- Formative Assessment
involves teachers using
evidence about what learners
know and can do to inform
and improve their teaching
Summative Assessment
- Summative assessment
measures whether learners
have met the content and
performance standards

7. Components of
Summative Assessment
• Written Work (WW)
• Performance Tasks (PT)
• Quarterly Assessment (QA)

8. Components of
Summative Assessment
Component s Purpose When given
Written
Work
(WW)
1. Assess learners’
understanding of
concepts and
application of skills
2. Prepare learners for
quarterly
assessments
At the end
of the topic
or unit

9. Components of
Summative Assessment
Components Purpose When given
Performance
Tasks (PT)
1. Involve students in the
learning process
2. Give students opportunities to
demonstrate and integrate
their knowledge,
understanding and skills
3. Give students the freedom to
express their learning in
appropriate and diverse ways
4. Encourage student inquiry,
integration of knowledge,
understanding, and skills in
various contexts
At the end of a
lesson focusing
on a topic/skill
lesson
Several times
during the
quarter

10. Components of
Summative Assessment
Components Purpose When given
Quarterly
Assessment
(QA)
Synthesize all the
learning skills, concepts,
and values learned in an
entire quarter
Once, at
the end of
the quarter

11. Grading System
• The K-12 Basic Education Program (BEP) uses a
standards-based and competency-based
grading system.
• All grades will be based on the weighted score
of the learners summative assessments.
• The minimum grade to pass a specific learning
area is 60, which transmuted to 75 in the
Report Card.

12. Grading System
• The lowest mark that can appear on the Report
Card is 60 for Quarterly Grades and Final
Grades
• Learners from Grades 1 to 12 are graded on
Written Work (WW), Performance Tasks(PT), and
Quarterly Assessment (QA) every quarter.
• These three are given specific percentage
weights that vary according to the nature of the
learning area.

computed ?
The following table shows the step-by-step
way of computing the grades.

areas allows the student to be promoted to the
next grade level.

27. Recomputed Final Grade
• Remedial Class Mark (RCM) is the equivalent of
the Final Grade for Remedial Classes
• The Final Grade at the end of the school year
and the Remedial Class Mark are averaged
• Final Grade + Remedial Class Mark = Recomputed
2 Final Grade
73 + 85 = 158/2 = 79 is the RFG

28. • The teacher of the Remedial Class issues the
Certificate of Recomputed Final Grade,
which is noted by the School Principal.

must be attached to both Form 137 and
School Form no. 5
