Grading is assigning a numerical or a descriptive value to the results of monitoring and testing the student's work. There are various grading styles and they can be classified as descriptive or numerical grading. Currently, in the Republic of Croatia students' knowledge and abilities are graded numerically. In the past there were also other styles of grading. Descriptive grading exists in lower classes of primary schools throughout Europe and worldwide. Numerous experts believe, and the results of previous research show, that in the Republic of Croatia Music, Visual Arts and Physical Education classes should be graded descriptively. The goal of this research was to find out what class teachers think about descriptive grading in the abovementioned classes during the first four classes of primary school; the percentage of teachers who agree with descriptive and numerical grading or a combination of both; and whether there are differences in opinions based on the amount of their work experience. The research was done in 2020 on 150 teachers in Northwest Croatia. The sample was convenient and accidental. The participants were given a questionnaire on grading, containing ten items of the Likert scale. The analysis of the results (which were quantitively processed in statistical IBM software SPSS 20) shows inconsistencies in the participants' answers. Most teachers believe that the abovementioned classes should not be graded only numerically; that students would gladly participate in the Physical Education classes without numerical grades; that descriptive grading is preferred over numerical grading; that there should be a combination of descriptive and numerical grading; that the above-mentioned classes should not be graded at all; that students should not be given failing grades for not bringing the proper attire to PE classes and that behavior should not be graded numerically. All the hypotheses in the paper, except the ninth, were accepted. Younger teachers are more likely to believe that not bringing the proper attire to PE classes deserves a failing grade, while teachers with more work experience are less likely to agree with this statement. In order to reach more definite conclusions and before introducing practical changes, there should be further research done on the subject.
