DEPED ORDER NO. 8, S. 2015
2015
POLICY GUIDELINES ON CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT
FOR THE K TO 12 BEP
• Effective SY 2015 - 2016, shall be implemented in public
elementary and secondary schools nationwide.
• Classroom Assessment is an ongoing process of identifying,
gathering, organizing, and interpreting quantitative and
qualitative information about what learners know and can do.
2 TYPES OF CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT:
• Formative assessment - assessment for learning, may be given
at any time during the teaching and learning process (before the
lesson, during the lesson proper, & after the lesson).
• Summative assessment assessment of learning, which occurs
at the end of a particular unit/lesson. It measures whether
learners have met the content and performance standards.
WHAT IS ASSESSED IN THE CLASSROOM?
a. Content Standards - "What should the learners know"
b. Performance Standards - abilities & skills that learners are
expected to demonstrate
c. Learning Competencies refer to the knowledge,
understanding, skills, and attitudes that students need to
demonstrate in every lesson.
d. Concept Development - Cognitive Process Dimensions
(remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating,
creating)
HOW ARE LEARNERS ASSESSED IN THE CLASSROOM?
- Learners are assessed in the classroom through various
processes and measures appropriate to and congruent with
learning competencies.
a. Individual Formative Assessment - enables the leamer to
demonstrate independently what has been learned or
mastered, activities such as check up quizzes, written exercises,
performances, models, powerpoint presentations, etc.
b. Collaborative Formative Assessment (peer assessment)
allows students to support each other's leaming, activities such
as: discussions, role playing, games, & other group activities.
COMPONENTS OF SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT:
1. Written Work (WW) - express skills and concepts in written
form. It can be given at the end of the topic or unit.
2. Performance Task (PT) - allows students to show what they
know and are able to do in diverse ways. It can be given at the
end of a lesson/several times during the quarter.
3. Quarterly Assessment (QA) - measures student learning at the
end of the quarter. Given once, at the end ofthe quarter.
WHAT IS THE GRADING SYSTEM?
- The K to 12 BEP uses a standards and competency based
grading system.
- All grades will be based on the weighted raw score of the
learner's summative assessments.
- The minimum grade needed to pass a specific learning is 60,
which is transmuted to 75 in the report card.
- The lower mark that can appear on the report card is 60 for
Quarterly Grades and Final Grades.
- Leamers from Grades 1 to 12 are graded on Written Work,
Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment (periodical test)
every quarter. Specific percentage weights vary according to
the nature of the learning area:

- Leamers from Grades 1 to 12 are graded on Written Work,
Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment (periodical test)
every quarter. Specific percentage weights vary according to
the nature of the learning area:
HOW IS LEARNER PROGRESS RECORDED AND COMPUTED?
- Grades/raw scores from each components are added up &
converted to a percentage score (PS).
- PS are then converted to Weighted Score (WS) with specific
percentage weights in the different subjects.
- Sum of the WS in each component is the INITIAL GRADE. The
Initial Grade will be transmuted using the given transmutation
table to get the QUARTERLY GRADE (QG).
- For MAPEH, individual grades are given to each area: Music,
Arts, Physical Education, and Health. The QG for MAPEH is the
average of the quarterly grades in the four (4) areas.
HOW ARE GRADES COMPUTED AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL
YEAR?
- Grades/raw scores from each components are added up &
converted to a percentage score (PS).
- PS are then converted to Weighted Score (WS) with specific
percentage weights in the different subjects.
- Sum of the WS in each component is the INITIAL GRADE. The
Initial Grade will be transmuted using the given transmutation
table to get the QUARTERLY GRADE (QG).
- For MAPEH, individual grades are given to each area: Music,
Arts, Physical Education, and Health. The QG for MAPEH is the
average of the quarterly grades in the four (4) areas.
HOW IS THE LEARNER'S PROGRESS REPORTED?
HOW ARE LEARNERS PROMOTED OR RETAINED AT THE END
OF THE SCHOOL YEAR?
- Final Grade of 75 or higher in all leaming areas allows student
to be PROMOTED to the next grade level.
- Did Not Meet Expectations (below 75) in not more than 2
leaming areas must pass REMEDIAL CLASSES to be promoted to
the next grade level, if NOT the learner is RETAINED in the SAME
GRADE LEVEL.
- Did Not Meet Expectations (below 75) in 3 or more learning
areas, RETAINED in the same grade level.
- Summative Assessments are also given during remedial
classes. These are recorded, computed, weighted, and
transmuted in the same way as the Quarterly Grade.
- The equivalent of the Final Grade for remedial classes is the
Remedial Class Mark (RCM).
- The Final Grade at the end of the school year and the RCM are
AVERAGED. This results in the Recomputed Final Grade.
‐ The teacher of the remedial class issues the Certificate of
Recomputed Final Grade, which is noted by the school
principal.
HOW ARE THE CORE VALUES OF THE FILIPINO CHILD
REFLECTED IN THE REPORT CARD?
- The Core Values: Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan,
Makabansa have been translated into behavior statement.
HOW IS ATTENDANCE REPORTED?
- Learners' class attendance shall be recorded by the teachers
daily.
- Number of school days in each month should be reflected in
the Report Card and the number of days each learner is present
or absent.
