The Mariano Marcos State University has metamorphosed into well-known learning institution in the country as it reached its 36^th year of existence in January 2014.

Named after the father of the President Ferdinand E. Marcos, MMSU was established on January 6^th ,1978 by virtue of President Decree (PD) 1279. The decree merged the then Mariano Marcos Memorial College of Science and Technology (MMMCST) in Batac and The Northen Luzon State College (NLSC) in Laoag City. Integrated to the University were the college of departments of the Ilocos Norte Agricultural College (INAC) in Pasuquin and the Ilocos Norte College of Arts Trades (INCAT) in Laoag City.

The University main campus of about 300 hectares is located in Batac, while the other campuses are in Laoag, Currimao, Dingras and Paoay. At present, it has 11 academic units :

-          Graduate School (GS)

-          College of Law (COL)

-          College of Medicine (COM)

-          College of Arts and Sciences (CAS)

-          College of Agriculture, Food and Sustainable Development (CAFSD)

-          College of Business, Economics and Accountancy (CBEA)

-          College of Engineering (COE)

-          College of Health Sciences (CHS)

-          College of Teacher Education (CTE)

-          College of Industrial Technology (CIT)

-          College of Aquatic Sciences and Applied Technology (CASAT)

MMSU’s roots are anchored deep, its foundation is strong, and its beginnings have proven historical turning points. This is so because the merged instructions existed as far back as the early 1900s.

K to 12 Education Program Grading System

For grade 1 to 12 –in a grading period, there is one Quarterly Assesment, but three should be instances for students to produce. Written work and to demonstrate what they know and can do through Performance Tasks. There is no required number of Written Work and Performance Tasks, but these must spread out over the quarter and used to asses learners’ skills after each unit has been taught.

Steps in computing for the final grades :

Step 1 – Grades from all student work are added up. This results in the total score for each component, namely Writtern Work, Performance Tasks and Quarterly Assesment.

Step 2 – The sum for each component is converted to the Percentage score.

Percentages Score (PS) =

(Learner’s total raw score : Highest Possible Score) x 100%

Step 3 – Percentage Score are then converted to Weighted Scores to show the important of each component in promoting learning in the different subjects.

Weight of the Components for Grade 1 to 10

	Components	Languanges	AP	EsP	Science	Math	MAPEH	EPP
1 to 10	Written Work	30%			40%		20%
	Performance Tasks	50%			40%		60%
	Quarterly Assessment	20%			20%		20%

Step 4 – The sum of The Weighted Scores in each components is the Initial Grade. This Initial Grade will be transmuted using the given transmulation table to get the Quarterly Grade (QD)

·      Textbooks

·      Projector

·      Laptop

·      Material indicated in the activity, after I observed the teacher always gave the innovation in the instructional materials like brain cap and make a neuron system by marshmallow

1.3    Source of Learning and Technology

MMSU-LHS not always use textbooks to get a informations, they could create their sources of learning. For the example, the teacher motivated the student to make their own instructional media like make a neuron system by marshmallow, so the student will increase their creativities and their knowledges. The other source of learning and technology, are :

·      Discussion with Powerpoint presentation

·      Make a project

·      Watching video

·      Activites fitted for the lesson

1.4    Authentic Assesment

The teacher will give the authentic assessment to the students when the teacher asking a question to the students and for the example are :

·      Quiz on the topic

·      Presented their project

·      Concept mapping

·      Reporting

·      Making and presenting jingle

·      Recitation

·      Exam

1.5    Others

After I observed in the classroom, the teacher always motivated the students to solved all the problems in every topic. For example, the students make their own neuron system by marshmallow, it will make the students to increase their higher order thinking skills and their creativities. The teacher always guiding the students with patient. The students is very smart, so the teacher can teach or explain with easily.
