Criterion Referenced Grading System

The document discusses different grading systems including criterion-referenced, alternative, and cumulative and averaging systems. Criterion-referenced systems focus on specific learning outcomes and assess individual mastery, while alternative systems offer more comprehensive understanding beyond traditional letter grades. Cumulative systems consider grades across periods, and averaging systems take the mean of prior and current period grades.

CRITERION REFERENCED GRADING


SYSTEM
CRITERION REFERENCED GRADING
SYSTEM
A criterion-referenced grading system is a type of grading
system that focuses on specific learning outcomes and criteria
that students must meet.

The criterion reference grading system is an assessment


approach that focuses on evaluating a student's performance
based on specific criteria or standards. Instead of comparing
students to one another, it measures their individual mastery
of learning objectives.
Advantage of Criterion Reference System:
• Students are competing with each other.
• Students are more likely to be active help each other.
• A students grade is not influence by the caliber of the class.

Disadvantage of Criterion Reference System:


• It is difficult to set a reasonable standard for students.
• Most experience faculty set criteria based on their knowledge of how
students usually perform.
• Criterion – referenced systems often become fairly similar to norm –
referenced systems.
Here are some key points about criterion-
referenced grading:

1. Fixed criteria: In a criterion-referenced grading system, the


grading criteria are predetermined by the instructor or the educational
institution.

2. Emphasis on learning outcomes: Criterion-referenced


grading systems are designed to assess whether students have
achieved specific learning outcomes or objectives.

3. Individual performance: Criterion-referenced grading is based


on individual student performance and does not compare students to
4. Clear standards: Clear and specific standards define each
grade level, ensuring transparency and consistency.

5. Collaboration and effort: The system encourages


collaboration and rewards individual effort, rather than competition
with peers.

6. Mastery-oriented: The emphasis is on students mastering skills


or knowledge, rather than just meeting a minimum requirement.
Guideline: Criterion Referenced

achievement levels. Grading by comparing students to

Grade students against mastery
Example of Criterion Grading System
• In class of 100 students, no one might get grade of excellent if no
one scores 98 above or 85 above depending on the criterion used.

1.0 (EXCELLENT) = 98-100 or 85-100


1.5 (GOOD) = 88-97 or 80-84
2.0 (FAIR) = 75-87 or 70-79
3.0 (POOR/PASS) = 65-74 or 60-69
5.0 (FAILURE) = below 65or below 60

ALTERNATIVE GRADING SYSTEM


ALTERNATIVE GRADING SYSTEM
• An alternative grading system is a method of
evaluating student performance and achievement
that differs from traditional letter or numerical
grading scales. These systems are often
implemented to offer a more comprehensive and
individualized understanding of a student's
academic progress.
There are several alternative grading systems to the
traditional A-F scale. Some of these include:
1. Pass/Fail Grading: This system simplifies grading to two options:
pass or fail. It's often used to reduce stress and competition among
students.
2. Standards-Based Grading (SBG): In this system, students are
assessed based on their understanding of specific learning standards. It
provides a more detailed view of a student's strengths and weaknesses
in specific areas.
3. Narrative Evaluations: Instead of assigning grades, teachers
provide detailed written feedback about a student's performance. This
can give a more holistic view of a student's progress and abilities.
4. Competency-Based Grading: This system focuses
on whether a student has mastered specific skills or
competencies, rather than their performance on tests or
assignments.
5. Portfolio-Based Assessment: Students are
evaluated based on a collection of their work, or a portfolio, which
showcases their learning progress and achievements over time.
6. No Grades System: Some educational institutions opt
to not give grades at all, focusing instead on feedback and student
self-evaluation.

CUMULATIVE AND AVERAGING


SYSTEM
CUMULATIVE SYSTEM
In the cumulative system of grading, the grade of a
student in a grading period equals his current
grading period which is assumed to have the
cumulative effects of the previous grading periods.
AVERAGING SYSTEM
In the averaging system, the grade of a
student on a particular grading period equals
the average of the grades obtained in the prior
grading periods and the current grading period.
