The goal of this study is to provide a preliminary description of the grading practices of a number of university and college instructors in Taiwan. The purposes of this study are to first describe common patterns in grading practices and, if patterns do exist, to identify discrepancies between the practices of teachers and the recommendations of measurement experts about grading practices, and also to find the reasons for these discrepancies.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The goal of this study is to provide a preliminary description of the grading practices of a number of university and college instructors in Taiwan. The purposes of this study are to first describe common patterns in grading practices and, if patterns do exist, to identify discrepancies between the practices of teachers and the recommendations of measurement experts about grading practices, and also to find the reasons for these discrepancies.
520 $a This study utilized two kinds of data. First, there was a questionnaire consisting of twenty-two dimensions of instructors' grading practices. After the questionnaire, a face-to-face interview was held to follow up. It was hoped that the questionnaire would provide a general picture of what respondents' grading practices are, and the interview data could serve to help the researcher get more details and in-depth knowledge about the instructors' reasons for their grading practices.
520 $a The data acquired from the questionnaire was analyzed with tabular and graphic forms using the SPSS statistical computer program. The results show that there are some discrepancies existing between instructors' actual classroom grading practices and experts' recommendations. The teachers use a variety of student characteristics in order to assess their students. Teachers with certain characteristics, such as being female, having lecturer rank, and having a master's degree as the highest degree, are prone to consider non-achievement factors in assigning grades, especially students' effort, improvement, and attitude. Additional information gathered from interviews suggests possible explanations for these discrepancies.
