Discussion

Definition of Terms

K-12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of
primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High
School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop
lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills
development, employment, and entrepreneurship. (officialgazette.gov.ph)

K-12 Grading System uses a standard- and competency-based grading system.

All grades will be 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. The lowest mark that can appear on
the report card is 60 for Quarterly Grades and Final Grades (Llego, 2019).

K to 12 Grading System
(Source: DepEd Order no.8 s.2015)

The WW-PT-QA Grading System is the new k to 12 grading system used fewer
components and launched a new conversion table and effective in the school year
2015-2016.

1. Written Work (WW) – makes sure students can express skills and contents in
written form these include quizzes, reaction/reflection papers, journals, assignments,
etc.
2. Performance Task (PT) – learners show what they know and can do in diverse
ways. These include multimedia presentations, debates, hand-on exercises, physical
activity participation, slogan and poster making, etc.
3. Quarterly Assessment (QA) – measures student learning at the end of the quarter.

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 1.
4. Add the Weighted Scores of each component. The result will be the Initial Grade.
5. Transmute the Initial Grade using the Transmutation Table.
