The New K to 12 Curriculum Grading System

Posted on: April 7, 2018 K-12 Education, Senior High School
It’s been seven years since DepEd carried out the K to 12 curriculum in the
Philippines; however, a few parts remained vague to those affected by the change. To a
few incoming senior high school students, parents, and teachers, the new k to 12 grading
system is still unclear. So, if you feel the same, read on to understand it.
Importance of K to 12 Curriculum
A write-up on Soapboxie, a site formed by the political and social enthusiasts, Cianeko
Abueva states the k to 12 curriculum is the key to our nation’s progress. Though faced with
problems since its implementation, he believes we need the new system. In fact, it will help
increase the quality of our education, a crucial factor to our country’s success.

K to 12 Grading System: KPUP versus WW-PT-QA

So far, under the new basic education system, DepEd has released two orders effecting the
new assessment and grading system, KPUP and WW-PT-QA.

1. KPUP Grading System

The first, however, is under D.O. No. 73, s.2012 effective school year 2012-2013 that used
Knowledge, Process, Understanding, and Performances (KPUP) as levels of assessment
and grading. Per this order, public and private elementary and secondary schools in the
country should use this system. In fact, the levels of assessment shall show in the class
record with their percentage weights.

The order defined the levels of assessment.

1. Knowledge – the substantive content of the curriculum, the facts, and info gained by the
student.
2. Process – skills or cognitive operations the student does on the facts and info to create
meanings or understandings.
3. Understandings – how the student endured big ideas, principles, and generalizations
inherent to the discipline.
4. Products/Performances – real-life application of understanding as evidenced by the
student’s performance of authentic tasks.

Further, the report card shall show how the students performed based on proficiency levels.
2. WW-PT-QA Grading System
The second system, in contrast, is under D.O. No. 8, s.2015 effective school year 2015-
2016. Unlike the first one, the new k to 12 grading system used fewer components and
launched a new conversion table. Public schools from kindergarten to senior high school
should use it. In the same way, it asks non-DepEd schools to apply the changes, too.

Under this order, the results of the components of the summative assessment such as
Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment will form the bases for the
grade computation.

New Grading Components for Grades 1-10

1. Written Work (WW) – makes sure students can express skills and contents in written
form.
2. Performance Task (PT) – lets learners show what they know and can do in diverse
ways.
3. Quarterly Assessment (QA) – measures student learning at the end of the quarter.

What Are the Good Points of the New Grading
System
Unlike the KPUP, the new k to 12 grading system has 60 as minimum grade but will have a
converted rating of 75 in the report card. The lowest grade a student can get is rather 60 for
the quarterly and final grades. Since the new grading system also used fewer components
and launched a new transmutation table, it makes it simpler for teachers to compute the
grades.
