2. Level of Acceptance in Zero-Based Grading System

A survey conducted at Sorsogon State University Castilla Campus (SSU


Castilla Campus), students evaluated their perception of a zero-based
grading. The survey presented five statements about the system, with
students responding using a weighted mean scoring system (higher score
indicates stronger agreement) and descriptive ratings on a scale of
"Highly Accepted," "Moderately Accepted," "Less Accepted," and "Not
Accepted."

The survey results (average score: 4.3, "Moderately Accepted")


revealed a generally positive student perception of the zero-based
grading system. Students expressed moderate agreement with statements
regarding the system's effectiveness in measuring learning (weighted
mean score of 3.9, "Moderately Accepted") and its value as a learning
tool (weighted mean score of 4.2, "Moderately Accepted"). However,
stronger agreement emerged for statements concerning fairness and
motivation. Students indicated strong agreement (weighted mean score
of 4.6, "Highly Accepted") that the system fairly evaluates
performance and motivates them to learn independently (weighted mean
score of 4.6, "Highly Accepted"). In conclusion, while students see
some value in the system's ability to measure learning and enhance the
learning environment, they hold a stronger belief in its fairness and
effectiveness in motivating independent study.
