Lesson 1: Grading System

ACTIVITY:
When you were in your elementary and high schools, have you noticed how you were graded
by your teachers. Take a minute of time and read the following situation.
Teacher Anna commended Ellie for being a top performer within her class.
Hearing this news, the whole class congratulated Ellie. At the same time Teacher Anna
expressed her disappointment with the class since no one has achieved 75% mastery in all
of the test.
Ellie has wondered why she was commended yet no one in the class achieved the
criteria of passing the test. Upon receiving her score card for that quarter, she has
understood why their teacher was quite disappointed. The following scores were reflected
for all of her subjects in the score card: 25/40 in English, 15/30 in Mathematics, 20/50 in
Science, and 30/50 in Filipino.
ANALYSIS:
Based on your understanding of the situation presented in the activity, answer the following
questions.
1. Why was Ellie commended by Teacher Ellie?
- Ellie is commended by Teacher Ellie because she is the one who passed the
75% passing rate of mastery of the test.

2. What do you think made Ellie understand the disappointment of their teacher?
- Ellie understood why their teacher was quite disappointed because of
the score of his classmates
- following scores were reflected for all of her subjects in the score
card: 25/40 in English, 15/30 in Mathematics, 20/50 in Science, and
30/50 in Filipino.

3. What does “75% mastery” mean?

-The goal of mastery learning is to h

4. Based on the given situation, what does it takes to be a top performer within the class?

Norm referenced tests may measure the acquisition of skills and

knowledge from multiple sources such as notes, texts and syllabi. Criterion
referenced tests measure performance on specific concepts and are often used
in a pre-test / post-test format

Norm-referenced assessments work similarly: An individual student’s percentile rank

describes their performance in comparison to the performance of students in the norm
Chapter 2: Lesson – Assessment in Learning 2

group, but does not indicate whether or not they met or exceed a specific standard or
criterion.

norm-referenced measure that many families are familiar with is the baby weight
growth charts in the pediatrician’s office, which show which percentile a child’s
weight falls in. A child in the 50th percentile has an average weight; a child in the
75th percentile weighs more than 75% of the babies in the norm group and the
same as or less than the heaviest 25% of babies in the norm group; and a child
in the 25th percentile weighs more than 25% of the babies in the norm group
and the same as or less than 75% of them. It’s important to note that these
norm-referenced measures do not say whether a baby’s birth weight is “healthy”
or “unhealthy,” only how it compares with the norm group.

Criterion-referenced tests often use “cut scores” to place students into categories
such as “basic,” “proficient,” and “advanced.”

A criterion-referenced test is an assessment and test that measures student’s

performance. Also, these measures the performance of the students alongside fixed
criteria. These criteria’s include written and brief reports of what students are capable of
doing at different stages.

In other words, the Criterion reference test is a set of fixed criteria. That used to
measure student’s performance. Also, these assess the student’s performance.

What is passing score of 50 items in test?

Learn the normal English marking system.

70% to 100% is the highest grade, a mark of Distinction. 60% to 69% earns a
Merit. 50% to 59% is Pass.

Application
