TRANSMUTATION TABLE and SAMPLE COMPUTATION OF GRADES in the 4TH Quarter of SY 2019-2020

The Department of Education issues the DepEd Memo. No. 042, s. 2020 which contains the Transmutation Table to be used by the teachers in computing the grades of their learners in the 4th academic quarter in light of the COVID-19 measures. It is also made mentioned by DepEd Usec. Alain Pascua in his recent interview that in the absence of 4th quarter examinations, teachers may still compute the rating of their learners using this transmutation table.

For the schools, or classes within schools, prevented from administering the 4th Quarter Examination, as described in paragraph 4 (b) above, the following grading and transmutation formula shall be adopted for the evaluation of the final grades of the affected learners:

a. DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015 titled Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program shall still be the basis in computing the Fourth Quarter grade of the learners, except that it will be based on class standing (CS) composed of written works and performance tasks.

b. For all learning areas from Grades 1 to 10 and non-core subjects in the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood/Sports/Arts and Design track in the Senior High School (SHS), CS totals 80% in original formula. Upon computing the weighted score in each component, the CS grade will be transmuted using Table 1 in Enclosure No. 2 to get the Fourth Quarter Grade.

c. For all core subjects in the SHS as well as Work Immersion/Research/Business Enterprise/Simulation/Exhibit/Performance in the Academic Track, CS totals 75% in original formula. Upon computing the weighted score in each component, the CS grade will be transmuted using Table 2 in Enclosure No. 2 to get the Fourth Quarter Grade.

d. For all other subjects in the Academic Track of SHS, CS totals 70% in original formula. Upon computing the weighted score in each component, the CS grade will be transmuted using Table 3 in Enclosure No. 2 to get the Fourth Quarter Grade.

e. A sample computation of Fourth Quarter Grade is provided in Enclosure No. 3.
