Grade inflation

New page

{{Stub}}

== Definition ==

In education, a grade (or mark) is a teacher's standardized [[evaluation]] of a student's work.

In some countries, evaluations can be expressed quantifiably, and calculated into a numeric grade point average (GPA). A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is the mean GPA from all semesters, whereas GPA may only refer to a single semester (Wikipedia)

== Grading systems ==

See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_%28education%29 Grade (education)] (Wikipedia). A good overview of various national grading scales.

== Evaluation grids ==

This topic is almost totally missing from this wiki. But we should have some more information, in particular models to evaluate technology-supported open-ended work ...

See for the moment Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Educational_assessment_and_evaluation Educational assessment and evaluation] category (more than 100 articles).

In this wiki:

* [[Learner assessment]]
* [[Progressive project assignment]]

== Grade inflation ==

Grade inflation is an issue in U.S. education and in GCSEs and A levels in England and Wales. The term refers to the phenomenon of increasing academic grades over time. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_inflation Wikipedia], retrieved 18:13, 1 November 2007 (MET).)

It's also an issue here to some extent ...
