MAPEH, TLE and other grouped subjects

Encode Music, Arts, PE and Health in their own gradebooks; the card prints MAPEH once, as the weighted mean of its parts.

One answer, with what teachers ask next on the same screen underneath it.

  • Say whether it helped at the bottom of the article. That is the only way we learn it is wrong.
  • Anything in a green box is what the DepEd order says; anything in amber is where teachers get caught.

The idea: encode the parts, report the group

Some printed subjects are really several gradebooks: MAPEH out of Music, Arts, PE and Health; TLE and ICT at 60/40; Effective Communication out of its English and Filipino strands. In Lite each part keeps its own gradebook — its own teacher, activities and scores — and the group exists only to be reported: the card prints one row, whose grade is the weighted mean of the parts' term grades.

Making a group

  1. Open the class, then Subjects, and add or link the parts first — they are ordinary gradebooks.
  2. Group subjects, name the printed subject, pick the parts, and give each its share. The weights must add to 100%.
  3. Nothing is moved or merged: every part keeps its teacher and every score in it. Ungrouping later puts the parts back on the card as themselves, again without touching a score.

What changes where

  • The report card, final grades, the general average, rankings and awards count the group once, as itself. The parts never print — MAPEH would otherwise count four times over.
  • Encoding, the score grid, activity analysis and hand-in happen on the parts. The group's own gradebook holds no activities and nobody can encode into it.
  • The class analysis and a learner's profile report the group's grade but point their score-level findings — blanks, zeros, the subject to look into — at the actual part, because that is where the fixable scores live.

The group grade is missing

Every part needs a computed term grade before the group can average them; the group shows the part that is still short rather than guessing. A part that is stale recomputes first, then the group follows on its own.
