Grading that uses letters (typically A, B, C, D, F) rather than numbers (typically a percentage) to rate a student's performance.
The scope of a grading system refers to its intended purpose and the parameters within which it operates. It defines what aspects of student performance will be assessed and how. Delimitation refers to setting boundaries or constraints on the system to ensure it remains fair, consistent, and relevant to its purpose. This might include criteria for assessment, grading scales, weightage of different components, and policies on re-evaluation or appeals.
The problem with the grading system lies in its subjectivity and lack of consistency. Grades may not always accurately reflect a student's true abilities or efforts, leading to unfair evaluations. Additionally, grading systems can create pressure and stress for students, detracting from the true purpose of education.
The literature on grading systems in education covers various aspects such as the impact of grading on student motivation, the validity and reliability of grading practices, grading policies and their effect on student performance, and alternative grading systems like standards-based grading or grading for mastery. Researchers also study the relationship between grading and learner outcomes, teacher practices in grading, and the equity implications of grading practices. The literature highlights the complexities of grading and the need for continual reflection and improvement in grading systems to support student learning effectively.
Some of the earliest letter grading systems did, in fact grade on an A - E scale, but as letter-based grading became for refined, the E was dropped in favor of F. Part of the reason for this is that a system of "E" (excellent) "S" (satisfactory) "N" (needs improvement) and "U" (unsatisfactory) was also in use, and, it seems, the "E" was dropped from the A - F system to avoid confusion - F clearly stands for FAILURE. In some modern cases, the S N U E grading system is still used, to some degree of variation.
The scope of a grading system is to provide a standardized way to evaluate and communicate student performance. However, its limitations include being subjective to individual interpretation, not always capturing the full range of a student's abilities, and potentially creating unnecessary stress and competition among students.
