After I finished my first observation, on the lunch
break time I had small conversation with assist. professor Cynthia Lyn Curada
and assist. Professor Jordan Gundran regarding
to the school measurement and evaluation system. They were so nice and gave all
the information that I need. They are the teachers and also as the head of USHS
staff. From the conversations there are several points made that measurement
and evaluation is important components of school system.
To
make sure that students able to follow the school lesson and material, every
school institution have to design the grading and evaluation system based on
the curriculum applied. Generally grading and evaluation is needed to measure
students’ performance in the classroom and it will make the teacher easier to
get feedback from the result recieved, and the core of teaching will be
improved based on the feedback given. And also by conducting evaluation teacher
will concern to understand the students’ need. Under the DepEd Order No.36 s.
2016 regulation. The University Science High School (USHS) adopts the
regulation from the DepEd which modified and has been implemented for about two
years. The school proposed that DepEd medals be replaced with Central Luzon
State University (CLSU) medals and to use the CLSU core values instead of the
DepEd ones. This type of learning system provides comfort for students that
excelin “minor” subjects (such as Arts and Edukasyonsa Pagpapakatao) and
struggle in “major” subjects (such as Mathematics and Science) to excel in
their academic ranks (DepEd Order No.36 s 2016).
For
the types of measurements, USHS has divided 3 types of measurement they are
written work, performance task, and quarterly assessment. All the measurements
are applied on every grades, started from grade 7th, 8th,
9th, 10th on junior school, while grade 11th
and 12th on senior high school. The written work that’s applied were
essay, essay based on exam, journals letter writing, reflection papers,
book/article review, and report. While performance task including case studies,
collages, compositions, literary analysis, multimedia production, portfolios,
research product, story and poem writing. Also it could be debates, interviews,
presentation, project making in individual or group, role play, speech
delivery, and etc. On the quarterly assessment usually conducted every chapter
finished discussed, or every a quarter of semester, it called summative or end
semester test. Those components are used by the teacher in order to be able to
assess the students’ knowledge.
The
evaluation system also has qualified the mark of students’ description; the
satisfaction will come out depend on the result of assessment of the students.
When the student got the highest mark “outstanding” which the grading scale is
90-100, then “very satisfactory” which the grading scale is 85-89,
“satisfactory” which the grading scale is around 80-84, and “fairly
satisfactory” which it has scale around 75-79 and those will be qualified that
students passed the course or subject, while when the scale under 75 students
will fail the class because the students qualified did not meet the
expectations, and the school has to advise those who did not make it to move to
another school. This tight regulation also make the students are willing to
work and study hard, they were also very active to participate to solve, ask,
or give opinion about the material explained by the teacher. The outstanding
students also will be rewarded some categories of awards. Awardees must have at
least 75% or 24 Always Observed (AO) out of 32 in their report cards. Students
of USHS will also receive merit awards such as USHS Leadership Award, Best
Junior High School Thesis Award, and Campus Journalism Award.
The grading system of
junior and senior high school totally different, the integrity and core of
weight has different frequent. The junior and Senior High School grading card
system can be seen as follow:
For Junior High School,
(Junior Highschool scoring system)
For Senior High School,
(Senior Highschool scoring system)
By applying the
grading and evaluation system, school believes that it will help to improve the
students’ ability and increasingly to help students to face their future by
having good education system. The awards also will help students’ performance
to do improvements, and on of the teacher Mr. Jordan S Gundran also stated that
achievement needed to help students’ psychology and willing to work harder than
before
