GRADING AND
REPORTING
GRADING AND REPORTING are the two terminal
stages in the process. MEASUREMENT are simply
numerical aids which guide our decisions in educative
process. It is therefore, very important that we also pay
attention to the process of giving grades and
reporting these students, parents, and other
stakeholders in the system.
FUNCTIONS of GRADING and REPORTING SYSTEM
a. ENHANCING STUDENTS LEARNING through: clarifying
instructional objectives for them, showing students strengths and
weaknesses, providing information on personal-social
development, enhancing students motivation (e.g., short term
goals) and indicating where teaching might be modified. These
can be achieved through day-to-day tests and feedback and
integrated periodic tests.
b. REPORTS TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS. Grading and reporting
systems also inform parents and guardians of students on the progress of
their wards. Likewise, grades and reports communicate objectives to
parents, so they can help promote learning and likewise, communicate
how well objective were met, so parents can better plan.
c. ADMINISTRATIVE AND GUIDANCE USES. The administrative and
guidance purpose of grading and reporting consist in: (1.) helping to
decide promotion, graduation, honors, athletic eligibility; (2.) reporting
achievements to other schools or to employers; and (3.) providing input
for realistic educational, vocational and personal counseling.
