Academic Performance Calculator - an indispensable online assistant for people involved in education, which helps to assess the results of their work. With its help, you can determine the quality of knowledge, academic performance, the degree of students' learning (SOU), as well as the average academic performance score for a quarter or academic year.
What is knowledge quality and SOU?
Knowledge Quality (KQ)
KQ is an indicator reflecting the percentage of all students who received high grades (usually '4' and '5') out of the total number of students. The KQ formula looks like this:
KQ = ((G5 + G4) / Go) x 100%
where,
- G5 - number of fives (excellent grade);
- G4 - number of fours (good grade);
- Go - total number of students;
For example, if there are 20 students in a class, and 12 of them received fours and fives, the quality percentage will be 60%.
Students' Learning Degree (SOU)
SOU - a more complex parameter, showing the level of mastering the educational material, taking into account all grades. Each grade has its weight, it is customary to choose the following weights:
- '5' = 1 point,
- '4' = 0.64 points,
- '3' = 0.36 points,
- '2' = 0.16 points.
To determine the SOU of the class, the sum of points should be divided by the number of students, taking into account those not assessed without a valid reason (n/a).
SOU = ((G5 * 100 + G4 * 64 + G3 * 36 + G2 * 16 + Gna * 7) / Go) x 100%
where,
- G5 - number of fives (excellent grade);
- G4 - number of fours (good grade);
- G3 - number of threes (satisfactory grade);
- G2 - number of twos (unsatisfactory grade);
- Go - total number of students;
- Gna - number of n/a without a valid reason.
Academic Performance (AP) or Absolute Academic Performance (AAP)
Academic performance is the result of the ratio of all students to students who received high grades, academic performance can be calculated by the formula:
AP = ((G5 + G4 + G3) / Go) x 100%
where,
- G5 - number of fives (excellent grade);
- G4 - number of fours (good grade);
- G3 - number of threes (satisfactory grade);
- Go - total number of students;
Average Grade (AG)
AG - is the arithmetic mean of all grades divided by their number. It can be found using the formula:
AG = (5G5 + 4G4 + 3G3 + 2G2) / Go
where,
- G5 - number of fives (excellent grade);
- G4 - number of fours (good grade);
- G3 - number of threes (satisfactory grade);
- G2 - number of twos (unsatisfactory grade);
- Go - total number of students;
How does the Academic Performance and Knowledge Quality Calculator work?
The online calculator automates the calculation process in a few clicks. Just enter:
- Total number of students
- Number of grades ('5', '4', '3', '2').
- Specify the number of n/a (optional).
- In a class of 10 fives, 8 fours, and 2 threes.
- Knowledge Quality = (10 + 8) / 20 × 100% = 90%.
- SOU = (10×1 + 8×0.64 + 2×0.36) / 20 = 0.81 (or 81%).
- Academic Performance = (10+8+2) / 20 = 100%
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What is the difference between knowledge quality and academic performance?
Academic performance is the percentage of students excluding poor grades (twos), while quality is only the percentage of 'good' and 'excellent' students.
❓ Can the quality of learning be assessed for the year?
Yes. The calculator will calculate the quality of learning for any period.
❓ How to calculate academic performance for a quarter?
If you need a quarterly academic performance calculator, the algorithm remains the same:
- Collect all grades for the quarter.
- Enter them into the online calculator.
- Get data on quality of academic performance, academic performance, SOU, and average grade.
Conclusion
The class academic performance calculator saves time, ensures accuracy of calculations, flexibility of assessment (quarter, year, entire class), analytics (quality percentage, SOU, average grade), and also helps teachers compare class results, prepare reports.
