Apart from the efforts of me, the success of any project depends largely on the
encouragement and guidelines of many others. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to
the people who have been instrumental in the successful completion of this portfolio. The
completion of this portfolio gives me much pleasure.
I would like to show my greatest appreciation to our college professor Mrs. Soledad Lita.
I can't say thank you enough for her tremendous support and help. I feel motivated and
encouraged every time I attend your lecture. Without her encouragement and guidance this
portfolio would not have materialized.
Not forgotten the guidance and support received from all the classmates, was vital for the
success of the project. I am grateful for their constant support and help. Last but not least, I
would like to expand my deepest gratitude to all those who have directly and indirectly guided

Introduction
In effect, traditional assessment is more concerned with the scores rather than the
"effectiveness of the tests and the curriculum or the needs of the students". The students, the
parents and even the administrators give much importance to the grades and consider them a
means to evaluate the learners as well as the teacher. This makes the latter focuses more on
activities and revision before the test than on the needs of the students, or the reliability of the
test itself.
Besides, a test which is done under time pressure can never reflect the real talents and
abilities of a learner. Moreover, as the teacher is the only one who prepares and "corrects" the
tests, this way of assessment is rather teacher-centered and the learners are passive. Another
point is that this approach does not take into consideration the individual differences between
students. It is rather "based on the philosophy that one test will fit all of them, which is not true.
That's why it cannot be considered effective.
Portfolio Reflects Hard Work of Student's Effort- Student can feel the essence of his hard
work for creating such a wonderful collection. Student can be active participant of preparing own
profile. It is really matter of pride for them. Student will work hard for performing better in all
other learning activities. Portfolio shows learners' artistic, creative, innovative, rational,
comprehensive and conceptual growth. Students' portfolio represents his systematic efforts to
achieve the excellent points.

1.What does a teacher do when he/she engages himself/herself in diagnostic, formative and summative
assessment?
In diagnostic assessment, they will conduct a test on their students, mostly paper and pencil type of tests,
to diagnose what students already know and don‘t yet know in order to guide their instruction.
During formative assessment, teachers will ask their students if they understood what they have
learned. It will determine their level of understanding of the lesson. It could also be in the form of
drills.
In summative assessment, teachers give this type of test at the end of a project, unit, course, semester,
program or school year, after diagnostic assessment, teaching, and formative assessment are done. They
are done through paper-and-pencil tests and non-paper-and-pencil tests.
2. Why does a teacher engage himself/herself in diagnostic, formative and summative assessment?
To diagnose what students already know and don‘t yet know in order to guide their instruction.
Teachers will ask their students if they understood what they have learned. It will determine their
level of understanding of the lesson.
3. What tests does a teacher give when he/she makes use of traditional assessment? Authentic
assessment?
In traditional assessment, students will be given paper-and-pencil tests which are either the
selected-response type like multiple choice and matching type exams, or constructed-response
like writing an essay and problem solving exams.
In authentic assessment, students will be required to showcase what skills they have learned through
presentations of performances and demonstrations. This could be in the form of ―practicum‖.
The main difference is norm-referenced refers to how a student‘s score compares to other students,
while criterion-referenced refers to how a student‘s score compares to a criterion, such as a
predetermined standard or goal.
On the other hand, decontextualized assessment includes written exams and termpaperswhichare
suitable for assessing declarative knowledge, and do not necessarily have a direct connection to a
real-life context (Biggs, 2011). It focuses on declarative knowledge and/ or procedural knowledge in
artificial situations detached from the real work context.
Both contextualized and decontextualized learning and assessment has its role in evaluatinglearning
outcomes. In practice, decontextualized assessment has been overemphasizedcompared to the place
declarative knowledge has in the curriculum.

6. When can we say that assessment is of high quality? Explain each quality.
*Allow for students to use assessment data to make choices about their areas of concentrationand focus.
This creates and environment of ―choice‖ and helps to spur student motivation. It also provides
complete visibility into individual student knowledge and readiness and leveragesassessment to
understand precisely what each student does (and doesn‘t) know.
*Produce valid and reliable results. Assessment data is 85%-95% reliable when it‘s
createdbycontent experts within an assessment organization, (add source if we are quoting directly)
*Generates meaningful and actionable insights. High quality assessment takes the massivequantities of
performance data and translates that into meaningful, actionable reports that pinpoint current student
progress, predict future achievement, and informinstruction. Administrators use the data to run various
levels of reports, detect patterns at all of thoselevels, and uncover academic areas that require
additional resources.
The use of professional remote invigilation, which recreates the exam hall experience inanonline
environment, means there is a move away from the use of traditional assessment delivery methods, such
as running exams in a test centre. Remote invigilation (also knownasonline proctoring) means that a
secure exam can be run from any location as long as thereisaninternet connection. This gives a great
deal of flexibility to candidates, who can sit their examat a time and place that suits them, rather than
spend time and incur costs associated withtakingtime off and travelling to a test centre.
move to online delivery in phases, so it doesn't have to be a "big bang", high risk approach. For
example, you may create and manage the question bank online, but print paper-based exampapers. The
paper scripts can then be scanned and marked automatically or sent to relevant examiners where manual
marking is required.
That brings us to another big change in the world of assessment, and that is the move awayfrom using
pen and paper as an exam delivery method.
Using pen and paper gives rise to many issues around administration and security, someof which are
outlined below:
*There is a huge administration burden with printing, transporting, marking and storing papers.
*There are security issues with the transportation of papers and managing who has accesstothem.
5
Another key trend has been the move towards the creation of a much more engaging andeffective
assessment. Organisations no longer have to use only simple, one-dimensional multiple choice and essay
questions. With the move to online there is now a huge range of question types available, which help to
make assessments much more immersive.
It is essential that information and examinations are presented in a user-friendly way. Thingslike
interactive canvasses are useful in this context, where case studies and questions canbepresented
together on-screen, with the option to make notes, highlight and annotate. Therearealso options for the
candidate to configure the view in line with their own preferences. Thistypeof innovation means that

OBTL is logical, effective and both teachers and students find it more satisfying than traditional teaching.
A benefit for students, possibly even more than teachers, is that the ILOs tell them precisely not only what
they are supposing to be learning, but how and to what standard.

2. Explain the meaning of constructive alignment in the context of the instructional cycle.
When planning a curriculum, we first have to be clear about what we want our students to learn,
and then teach and assess accordingly in an aligned system of instruction (Biggs, 1996). Such a
system is fully criterion referenced as the outcomes define what we should be teaching; how we
should be teaching it; and how we could know how well students have learned it. In aligned
teaching, there is maximum consistency throughout the system.
The curriculum is stated in the form of clear outcomes which state the level of understanding
required rather than simply listing the topics to be covered. The teaching methods chosen are
those that are likely to realise those outcomes; you get students to do the things that the outcomes
nominate.
7
Finally, the assessment tasks address the outcomes, so that you can test to see if, and how well the
students have learned what the outcomes state they should be learning. Assessment is about how
well students achieve the intended outcomes, not about how well they report back to us what we
have told them.
All components in such an aligned system thus address the same agenda and support each other.
The students are "entrapped" in this web of consistency, optimising the likelihood that they will
engage the appropriate learning activities. Biggs (1999) calls this network 'constructive
alignment'.

- Assessments are authentic if they are realistic, require judgement and innovation and assess students‘
ability to effectively use their knowledge or skills to complete a task.
Authentic assessment refers to integrating learning and assessments to ensure that students‘ needs are
being met. Instructors can create authentic assessments by identifying standards for student performance,
selecting authentic tasks and separating them from traditional tasks, identifying criteria for the task and
creating a rubric to measure performance.
- Talking about traditional assessment often means referring to formal tests that check students‘ ability to
recollect and reproduce the content studied during a course (Coombe et al, 2012). These are usually
standardized timed tests that are applied to all learners in the same conditions. However, these are not the
only characteristics of traditional assessment. There are other typical features that have been underlying
our practice and that might have been consolidated as the ‗right‘ way to assess learners. Brown (2004),
for example, has systematized what traditional assessment entails. One of the features mentioned by him
is the use of assessment as a tool to merely check learning at the end of a term, in other words, its use in a
summative way. Final exams are a good example of how this happens, as they address the content studied
during the whole course and determine if students are apt to move on to the next grade or level. Another
of these features is the attention given to establishing one single right answer. Traditional tests are usually
focused on learners giving the expected correct answer, so that there is little room for doubt or
discussions. In this sense, they are easy to correct and their results are highly reliable. Multiple-choice
tests illustrate well this feature because there is no room for subjectivity or flexibility in doing a test in
this format – there can only be one accepted answer. Considering these characteristics, we can clearly
notice that scores are of great importance in traditional assessment. In fact, they are so significant that the
feedback learners receive is often just the score of the test. In this construct, it is the result of an end-of-
term multiple-choice test, for example, that will tell learners how well they did in the course. As we can
see, the focus of traditional assessment is directed to the product of the assessment rather than the learning
process.
* the assessment task - assessment task is a tool, device or constructed situation that creates the
opportunity for learners to demonstrate or display the nature and depth of their learning. Effective
teachers design assessment tasks that require students to demonstrate knowledge and skills at man levels.
*the physical context - The physical context of an authentic assessment should reflect the way
knowledge, skills, and attitudes will be used in professional practice (Brown et al., 1989; Herrington &
Oliver, 2000).
* the social context - The social processes of an authentic assessment must resemble those of a
professional context. If the professional context or real-life situation requires collaboration with peers in
solving problems, then the assessment should also involve students in collaboration and problem solving.
*the assessment result or form - Assessment results are important evidence on which to base requests for
funding, to make curriculum changes, rethink faculty lines, and more. Disappointing (negative)
assessment results can have a positive effect when they are used to improve the learning process.
*the assessment criteria- Assessment criteria provide students with information about the qualities,
characteristics and aspects of an assessment task that will be used to measure their attainment of each of
the learning outcomes. Criteria make it clear to students what factors will be taken into account when
9
making judgements about their performance. It could be argued that the most direct way students
experience what is needed to achieve the unit's learning outcomes is through the assessment criteria.
- The following are the characteristics of authentic assessments as described in Bean (1993) and Svinicki
(2004).
*Ask students to communicate their knowledge orally or in writing to a specific audience and for specific
purpose
-In contextualized assessment, the focus is on the students' construction of functioning knowledge and the
students' performance in application of knowledge in the real work context of the discipline area.
Assessment tasks reflect the goal of learning. It uses performance-based tasks which are authentic in
nature. In addition, it describes assessment practices which measure skills and knowledge in dealing with
specific situations or perform specific tasks which the students have identified as important and
meaningful to them. Application of the skills and knowledge must be in the context of the real world as
possible.
On the other hand, decontextualized assessment includes written exams and term papers which are
suitable for assessing declarative knowledge, and do not necessarily have a direct connection to a real-life
context (Biggs, 2011). It focuses on declarative knowledge and / or procedural knowledge in artificial
situations detached from the real work context.
Both contextualized and decontextualized learning and assessment has its role in evaluating learning
outcomes. In practice, decontextualized assessment has been overemphasized compared to the place
declarative knowledge has in the curriculum. Both must be assessed appropriately. A common mistake is
to assess only the lead-in declarative knowledge, not the functional knowledge that emerges from it
(Biggs and Tang, 2011).
- Analytic assessment involves assessing different aspects of student performance, such as mechanics,
grammar, style, organisation, and voice in student writing. Alternatively, holistic assessment means
making an overall assessment, considering all criteria simultaneously.
The most apparent advantage of using analytic assessments is that they provide a nuanced and detailed
image of student performance by taking different aspects into consideration. By judging the quality of, for
instance, different dimensions of student writing, both strengths and areas in need of improvement may be
identified, which, in turn, facilitate formative assessment and feedback.
In contrast, holistic assessments focus on the performance as a whole, which also has advantages. For
example, holistic assessments are likely to be less time-consuming and there are indications that teachers
prefer them (e.g. Bloxham et al., 2011). Furthermore, focusing on the whole prevents teachers from
giving too much weight to individual parts. This is an important argument, since there is a widespread
fear that easy-to-assess surface features get more attention in analytic assessment than more complex
features that are more difficult to assess (Panadero & Jonsson, 2020). Sadler (2009), for instance, argues
that teachers‘ holistic and analytic assessments rarely coincide, and implies that analytic assessments may
therefore not be valid. Focusing on different aspects of student performance can therefore be seen as both
a strength and a weakness with analytic assessments. This is because even if surface features do not
10
receive more attention than other features, the analytic assessments still need to be partitioned into
separate criteria. Consequently, there is a risk of assessments becoming fragmented and missing the
entirety.

Answer the following questions: (10 pts) each.
- Performance-based assessments share the key characteristic of accurately measuring one or more
specific course standards. They are also complex, authentic, process/product-oriented, open-ended, and
time-bound.
*Solving a Problem. Critical thinking and problem solving is to capture all the
learning targets which shall be aligned to the teaching and learning objectives, activities and
assessments.
*Completing an Inquiry. An inquiry tasks is one in which the students are asked to collect all the data in
order to developed by learners.
*Demonstration Task. This tasks shows how students use knowledge and skills to complete well-defined
complex tasks.
*Developing Exhibits. Exhibits are visual presentations or displays that need little or no explanation
from the creators.
*Capstone Performance. These are tasks that occur at the end of a program of
study and enable students to show knowledge and skills in the context that matches the
world of practicing professionals
Performance assessment allows students to exhibit their own skills, talents, and expertise.
Performance assessment allows the teachers to explore the main goal and processing of teaching and
learning process.

(Individual Activity)
- This assessment measures how well students apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities to authentic
problems. The key feature is that it requires the student to produce something, such as a report,
experiment, or performance, which is scored against specific criteria.
- Non-test is an alternative assessment in the sense that it diverts from the paper-and-pen test (Reganit et.
al., 2010). These are tests that do not force the students to give their responses (Rico, 2011) but rather
allow the students to manifest their acquired knowledge and skills from the subject. This is one of the
authentic assessment methods that is able to zoom in the effectiveness and efficiency of the employed
teaching methodologies, techniques, and styles.
- Transversal Competencies are competencies that are transferable between jobs. They are what used to be
described as ―experience‖. Some people have labelled them ‗soft skills‘ or ‘emotional intelligence‘.They
are not job or sector-specific skills. The acquisition and measurement of Transversal Competencies mean
that you can move from a career in marketing in the building sector to a job in counselling in Africa. I
agree that is obviously a radical move. However, the non-job specific competencies in communication,
grit, understanding diversity, teamwork, using information from diverse sources etc., may also be key
competencies in this new context.
*Critical Thinking
*Innovative Thinking
*Creativity
*Entrepreneurship
*Resourcefulness
*Application Skills
*Reflective Thinking
*Presentation Skills
*Reasoned Decision-Making
1. Authentic assessment simulates real-life situations. Students are asked to participate in real-world tasks
and activities to demonstrate their knowledge of the course or subject matter.
14
2. There are no right or wrong answers in authentic assessment. It is all about showing how the student
can use the knowledge from the course in real-world contexts and scenarios.
4. It requires in-depth creativity and originality. The students have to think outside the box to create
unique solutions to the problem.
6. It is complex and action-oriented. Alternative assessments spur the students to research and look for
answers. The students need to leverage a variety of skills and data collection methods to find practical
solutions.
7. Authentic assessment involves both oral tests like presentations and written tests with open-ended
questions.
8. Students get feedback from the instructor at different points as they engage in the tasks. It allows the
students to leverage feedback and improve their solutions and suggestions until they arrive at the most
practical and effective answers.
4. Authentic /performance and traditional assessments are complementary. What does it mean?
It was stated that ―authentic assessment complements traditional assessment―and that ―the mix of the two
likely best meet the needs‖, but my view is that, classroom authentic assessment is a necessary
complement when conducting traditional non-summative or summative assessment. The student needs to
be equipped well with information/facts through traditional assessment for its application process in
authentic tasks ―for‖ actual learning or evidence ―of‖ learning when used as summative assessment. For
example, in journalism course, after the student has shown to be informed and well equipped concerning
the knowledge/ technicalities of writing, he/ she needs to recall, apply and analyze the knowledge and
facts while performing the authentic/real-world task as ―for learning‖, a simulation practice to improve
certain level of competency or proficiency and/or to synthesize and apply knowledge and facts to
demonstrate competency or proficiency through authentic/real-world task as ―of learning‖ or mastery. In
short, if a student lacks knowhow or knowledge, it will definitely be evident or affect his/her performance
of the authentic/real world task. But, there may be cases wherein the testing of knowledge and facts
through multiple choice type of traditional assessment is not applicable because a low result means low
knowledge in the same way that a high result does not guarantee high knowledge. As such may impair
performance of authentic/real world task because guessing of facts and information needed to
demonstrate competence has no room in authentic tasks, for example computer programming, wherein
understanding and not recall of the concept is very crucial.

Activity (Chapter 6)
Rubrics are a way to make explicit our expectations of what students will need to know and be able to do
in order to receive a given grade. Rubrics help instructors to develop clear and attainable learning
objectives for their students and if provided to students prior to the activity, serve to guide their efforts.
1. A task description. The outcome being assessed or instructions students received for an assignment.
2. The characteristics to be rated (rows). The skills, knowledge, and/or behavior to be demonstrated.
3. Levels of mastery/scale (columns). Labels used to describe the levels of mastery should be tactful and
clear. Commonly used labels include:
*1, 2, 3, 4
3. Distinguish between holistic and analytic rubrics; general and task-specific rubric.
Holistic Rubrics - Single criterion rubrics (one-dimensional) used to assess participants' overall
achievement on an activity or item based on predefined achievement levels. Holistic rubrics may use a
percentage or text only scoring method.
Analytic Rubrics - Two-dimensional rubrics with levels of achievement as columns and assessment
criteria as rows. Allows you to assess participants' achievements based on multiple criteria using a single
rubric. You can assign different weights (value) to different criteria and include an overall achievement
by totaling the criteria. With analytic rubrics, levels of achievement display in columns and your
assessment criteria display in rows. Analytic rubrics may use a points, custom points, or text only scoring
method. Points and custom points analytic rubrics may use both text and points to assess performance;
with custom points, each criterion may be worth a different number of points. For both points and custom
points an overall score is provided based on the total number of points achieved. The overall score
determines whether the activity is achieved.
General rubrics use criteria and descriptions that can be used across a variety of tasks, for example, a
rubric on teamwork and collaboration. Task-specific rubrics are specific to the task for which they are
applied. They fall more in line with the teacher-centered approach because they help facilitate quick and
objective assessment. One big downside to task-specific rubrics is that often they can‘t be shared with
students because they give too much away about the task itself, so in this sense, they are missing the most
powerful aspect of rubrics, their ability to help students monitor their learning and progress.
4. When do you use a holistic rubric? Analytic rubric? General rubric? Task-specific rubric?
Holistic rubrics are best to use when there is no single correct answer or response and the focus is on
overall quality, proficiency, or understanding of a specific content or skills.
Analytic rubrics are particularly useful for problem-solving or application assessments because a rubric
can list a different category for each component of the assessment that needs to be included, thereby
accounting for the complexity of the task. For example, a rubric for a research paper could include
16
categories for organization, writing, argument, sources cited, depth of content knowledge, and more. A
rubric for a presentation could include categories related to style, organization, language, content, etc.
General or generic rubrics can be applied to a number of different tasks. -Task-specific rubrics are used to
evaluate specific tasks and contain criteria and descriptions that reflect specific features of the elicited
performance.
Rubrics give students a greater chance of achieving a clear and defined target. They guide curriculum
planning and uphold accurate assessments with integrity. Effective rubrics enable self-assessment and
self-directed student learning.
6. Other than rubrics, what other tools can be used to assess performance?
Peer & Self- Assessment helps students reflect on their learning throughout the course of an academic
term or year, giving them the opportunity to measure their performance and skill level. Self- Assessment
is used for reflection and documentation of the learner‘s growth. The following is a list of self assessment
resources that can be modified and adapted for your own use.

JOHN RICO E. MALASAGA ACTIVITY 7 BEED III – 6 Prof Ed. 10
Portfolio assessments ask students or teachers to collect work products that show growth over a
specific period of time. Examples of work products include collections of student essays, artwork, lab
reports or reading logs. A portfolio assessment is a systematic and organized collection of evidence used
by the teacher and student to monitor the growth of the student's knowledge, skills, and attitudes in a
specific subject area. The portfolio is a collection of students' work representing a selection of
performances. A portfolio is a systematic collection of student work that represents student activities,
accomplishments, and achievements over a specific period of time in one or more areas of the curriculum.
2. What are the types of portfolio and the purpose of each type.
Showcase or Presentation Portfolio: A Collection of Best Work. These types of portfolios focus
on the portfolio as a product and are also typically called professional portfolios, formal portfolios, or
career portfolio. The content that‘s added to showcase portfolios is written after the learning takes place,
often with reflection from the student. Some schools adopt the mantra of, ―collect, select, reflect, connect‖
(PDF Hughes, 2008). The connect element is an interesting – it involves sharing student work with others
(probably beyond the teacher) and actively seeking an audience and feedback. The showcase portfolio is
often used to share a student‘s best achievements or evidence of learning. Students are generally given the
choice to decide what is published. These sorts of portfolios can assist with self-marketing, online
branding, or building a positive digital footprint. In higher education, we see commonly see showcase
portfolios that highlight a student‘s CV or resume to suit a particular purpose such as attracting potential
employers.
The second type of portfolio that we commonly see is more of a running record of learning. The
purpose is to capture the learning process. It‘s also called a development portfolio, a reflection portfolio,
or a formative portfolio. Entries and artifacts are added during the learning process. A process portfolio is
not always a collection of a student‘s best work; it can include a variety of learning attempts or
unpolished documentation along with reflections on struggles and challenges. These types of portfolios
demonstrate a work in progress and allow for self-assessment and reflection. One trap you might want to
try to actively avoid if you‘re using process portfolios is the ―digital dump‖. That is, over time, students
can end up adding a lot of artifacts to their portfolio without much organization, reflection, or purpose. A
process portfolio is a fabulous way to demonstrate learning as it happens but students may want to
consider how to keep the portfolio well-organised and meaningful.
The assessment portfolio is used to document what a student has learned, or demonstrate that they
have mastered elements of the curriculum. Here, reflective comments will focus on how artifacts align
with curriculum objectives. These types of portfolios may be more formal than a showcase or process
portfolio. While they may be very useful within the school environment to provide eviden of learning to
teachers and administrators, an assessment portfolio may be less useful for overall student development.
Assessment portfolios are commonly part of certification programs or even part of requirements for
earning a degree.
4) A Hybrid Approach
The 4th type of portfolio you‘ll commonly come across is a combination of the showcase,
process, and/or assessment portfolio. Canadian EdTech leader George Couros explains how two types of
portfolios can come together with some examples, Learning [process] portfolio: If a student were to take a
18
video of them reading in four consecutive months, you would see all readings over time to see
development and growth. Showcase portfolio: If a student were to take a video of them reading in four
consecutive months, they would pick the best one from the four samples. What is beautiful in using a
portfolio is that you do not have to choose; you can do both. Does this show the student‘s progression
over time (learning), or just the best stuff (showcase)? There are considerable benefits to both over time
and a combination, from my experience, is the best path to pursue. Some educators find it‘s easiest to start
out with a showcase portfolio, or a collection of best work. From there, they can evolve into the process
or hybrid approach. You might also find your portfolios are fluid in nature, for example, students may
move pieces from a process portfolio into either an assessment or showcase portfolio. This movement
might be through having multiple blogs, or through using blog posts for process entries and blog pages for
documenting assessment or showcasing artifacts. Alternatively, tags and categories can be used to
identify assessment pieces or ―final work‖ within a student‘s portfolio. Making choices about which
process artifacts to move to a more ―final‖ product involves a great deal of deep consideration and
reflection: a rich experience in itself for students. Knowing which type(s) of portfolio you will be
focusing on will help inform decisions around choosing a platform and building a template portfolio.
Assess each piece and think about why you might want to include it in your portfolio.
4. The portfolio assessment is a means of providing alternate assessment and provides benefits to
both students and teachers as an instructional method. The portfolio allows students to earn
credit for the process of learning rather than for performance on a test. The process of
assembling a portfolio can also increase communication between students and teachers, as
discussion can surround decisions about inclusion of items in a portfolio. Additionally, the
process creates clear requirements for completion and may be an advantage for students who
struggle with traditional assessments.

5. If you get high grades or high scores does it follows that you learned a lot? Explain your
answer.
Grades don‘t mean you‘re not smart enough, or that you‘ll never get the grades you want.
Getting high marks is about working smarter, not harder. Do that, and you‘ll find that
getting better grades is easier than you thought.
F. Research on:
3. The averaging and cumulative grading systems. How are grades computed in each
grading system? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each grading system?
Your major average is the average of percentage grades from courses taken toward
your major. Your cumulative average is the average of percentage grades earned from
all courses you have taken.
Advantage:
Takes the pressure off from the students at certain levels
Grading Pattern description
Gives the students an obvious idea about their weaknesses and strengths
Make class work easier
Disadvantage:
It doesn‘t instil a sense of competition
Not an accurate representation of the performance and the knowledge gained
It is not an exact scoring system
Lack of incentives
4. School practices on marks or grades used. Do they use letter grades? What do they
mean? or 1, 2,3, etc.? or 75, 78, 90. What are advantages and disadvantages of each?
Which is most meaningful to parents?
A letter grading system is one that uses a letter scale, instead of numbers to categorize
students into a certain band (denoted by the letter grade) according to their score. A
sample letter grading system could look like below, where letter grade and
explanation follow:
These letter grades are also often ascribed a qualitative description – for instance,
letter grade E and above are passed, letter grade F fail, letter grades C and D are
average, letter grade B is above average, and letter grade A is outstanding.
5. Problems met by parents and teachers during card giving?

REFLECTION
A portfolio is not the pile of student work that accumulates over a semester or school year.
Rather, a portfolio contains a purposefully selected subset of student work. "Purposefully selecting
student work means deciding what type of story you want the portfolio to tell. For example, to highlight
or celebrate the progress a student has made, then, the portfolio might contain samples of earlier and later
work, often with the student commenting upon or assessing the growth the portfolio to capture the process
of learning and growth Then, the student and or teacher might select items that illustrate the development
of one or more skills with reflection upon the process that led to that development. to showcase the final
products or best work of a student In that case, the portfolio would likely contain samples that best
exemplify the student's current ability to apply relevant knowledge and skills. All decisions about a
portfolio assignment begin with the type of story or purpose for the portfolio. The particular purposes
served, the number and type of items included, the process for selecting the items to be included, how and
whether students respond to the items selected, and other decisions vary from portfolio to portfolio and
serve to define what each portfolio looks like.
