ED106 - Chapter 8

A Grade 6 teacher notices that students consistently perform poorly in Performance Tasks. She wants to improve their engagement without compromising assessment integrity. Which strategy aligns with the principles of DepEd's classroom assessment?

• Reduce the weight of Performance Tasks

• Replace Performance Tasks with more Written Work

• Design performance tasks that simulate real-life scenarios

• Administer performance tasks only at the end of the quarter

Mr. Cruz computes the Final Grade of a student by averaging the Quarterly Grades across four quarters. What principle supports this method?

• Use of anecdotal records

• Standard-based reporting

• Equal weighting of performance

• Summative assessment consolidation

A Grade 9 teacher computes a student's grade as follows: Written Work (25%), Performance Tasks (50%), and Quarterly Assessment (25%). The student got 80%, 85%, and 90% in each. What is the initial grade?

• 85

• 87.5

• 86.25

• 84.5

A principal noticed that all students received a minimum grade of 60 even if they failed the assessments. How should this be explained based on DepEd policy?

• It motivates students by inflating grades.

• It is a form of hidden remedial intervention.

• It prevents discouragement by setting a base transmuted grade.

• It ensures fairness by giving all students passing marks.

Which scenario violates the principle of competency-based assessment in the K to 12 grading policy?

• Giving grades based on behavioral observation alone

• Using multiple assessment tools to assess understanding

• Assessing learning outcomes based on the curriculum guide

• Allowing students to redo tasks for mastery

During a PTC, a parent asked why her child's grade is 75 despite scoring less than 60% in raw scores. What is the best explanation?

• Her child passed due to teacher discretion.

• The grade was transmuted as per DepEd guidelines.

• Written Work scores were not considered.

• The grade was adjusted for class performance.

Which of the following best reflects the application of differentiated assessment aligned with the DepEd grading system?

• Giving the same tasks to all learners

• Providing more tasks to slow learners

• Designing tasks that cater to multiple intelligences

• Eliminating Quarterly Assessments for high achievers

A teacher wants to justify the use of portfolios in Kindergarten. Which argument aligns with DO No. 8, s. 2015?

• Portfolios are quicker than traditional grading.

• Portfolios provide holistic, developmental assessment.

• Portfolios eliminate the need for classroom observation.

• Portfolios serve as a replacement for summative tests.

In a multi-grade class, how can a teacher fairly apply the grading policy across varying competencies?

• Use a single rubric for all students

• Base all grades on the highest grade level

• Align assessments with individual learning standards

• Compute an average grade for all grade levels combined

Which best illustrates formative assessment that supports summative grading in the K to 12 system?

• Assigning quizzes that directly affect the grade

• Conducting surprise tests to rank students

• Giving feedback on practice exercises not graded

• Computing average of all practice tests
