TARGET Your Intended Learning

Outcome

At the end of this Learning Episode, I must able to:

 Interpret scores correctly
 Compute grades based on DepEd’s grading policy
 Report grades to parents meaningfully

Introduction
It is said that students should not study only for scores nor grades. Students should
study most of all for learning. It is possible for students to obtain high scores and good grades
but did not really learn that much. What is ideal is for students to get high scores and good
grades because they really learned a lot.
Our world of employment, scholarship grants, etc. still look at grades as criteria for
hiring and screening for scholarships. So, grades have pragmatic value. Therefore, it is be that
students work for good grades that genuinely reflect level of mastery.

Clarify Your Task

In this Episode, you will interpret scores correctly, compute grades based on the DepEd
re ‘grading system and report grades to parents /guardians during Parents’-Teachers’
Conference

Let’s Norm and criterion-referenced assessment

Criterion-referenced assessment. In criterion-referenced assessment we compare a
student's performance against a criterion of success which is the predetermined standard. In
criterion-referenced assessment, each student’s performance is compared directly to the
predetermined standard, without considering how other students performed in the
assessment.
Criterion-referenced assessment often use “cut scores” to place students into categories
such as “basic,” “proficient,” and “advanced.” Here.is an example: The teacher’s intended
learning outcome is “to solve at least eight out of ten problems on fractions correctly”. Student
A is able to solve ten (10) out of ten correctly, Student B, eight (8) problems and Student C, five
words (5). It is obvious that only Students A and B were able to realize the predetermined
standard as stated in the intended learning outcome, “solve at least 8 out of 10 words
correctly.” The performance (score) of each student is compared against a standard of success
set by the teacher. It is not compared against the performance of the other students.

Norm-referenced assessment. In norm-referenced assessment we’ compare a student’s
performance with the performance of other students, the norm group, not against a
predetermined standard, The composition. of the norm group-depends on the assessment... An
example is comparing the performance of Grade 6 pupils in Reading in a particular school
system to the performance of nation-wide group of Grade six pupils in Reading
Parent-Teacher Conferences. Durham (2006) asserts that “parent-teacher
conferences are both a responsibility and an opportunity.” The education of the learner is the
primary responsibility of parents. In this task of educating children, parents are assisted by the
school. For the benefit of children then it is best for teachers and parents to come together to
discuss their children’s progress. Parent-Teacher Conferences are a perfect avenue for this
purpose.
It has been a practice of schools to set aside a day for Report Card distribution which is
at the same time the opportunity for parents and teachers to confer regarding their child’s
performance.
Here are some reminders for schools/teachers to get the most from parent-teacher
conferences:
1. Announce the date for card-giving in advance. Or better still the school calendar
which should be given at the beginning of the school year must already include the
dates for card-giving and parent-teacher conference/s. Parents are busy and can’t just
be there at the school’s beck and call.
2. Be positive in approach, Start the conference with something positive and maintain
the positive atmosphere. There is always something good in every student. Even if a
student has performed poorly, try to find at least some areas in which the student has
performed well.
3. Be objective. While you should be positive, be truthful and honest. Give an accurate
picture of a student's performances in order not to give false hopes to parents.
4. Have a listening ear. Act with empathy. Parents are parents. They will tend to favor
their children.
5. Don’t project an “omniscient “image. You don’t know all the answers to questions.
Refer
to the parents to the right person. Example; the Physics teacher if the problem is the
child’s performance in Physics.
6. Practice good communication skills. Communicate criteria for grading. Have a
dialogue not a monologue where the only one talking is you (or only the parent).

7. Don’t talk about other students. The focus of the parent-teacher conference should
only be the parent’s child. Never compare the child with other students.
8. End with an encouraging note in the same way that you began with a positive note. It
is not the end of the world.
Reporting
Schools schedule Card Getting Day and Parents-Teachers’ Conference (PTC) which are
an opportunity for parents and teachers to discuss about students’ performance and grades to
make sense of scores and grades. Unfortunately, based on observation, not all parents can
attend PTC and most often it is the parents of students with problematic performance that
can't come for PTC.

WORK ON MY ARTIFACTS

Compile samples of scoring and grade computation that you did. The tests and
products/ portfolios that you score and Students’ Report Card must belong to the same
students to see development. Include snapshots of PTCs and list of parents’/guardians’
comments during PTC and how these comments were addressed.

Check for Mastery

Directions: Read each of the following then choose the letter of the correct answer.
1. Ina test, Teacher A set a score of at least 48 out of 50 as the criterion of mastery or success: In 2
sections of 100 students, 30 got a score of 48, 10 got a score of 49, 5 got a score of 50 but all the rest
