ICEBREAKER- SUPER CHICKEN!


Full body rock paper scissors
Egg: Hands over your head in an oval shape
Chicken: Flap those wings

Purpose of Assessment in
Physical Education

Super Chicken: Arms out front, like Superwoman/man


Immortal Chicken: Arms spread wide

What is the purpose of physical education?

How do Standards
(CDEs Comprehensive Health & Physical
Education Standards, specifically)
help us reach that purpose?

Sohow do you know that youre meeting the


CDE CHPE Standards, and therefore,
accomplishing the purpose of PE?

What Is Assessment?

Assessment & Evaluation!

The process of gathering evidence


about a students level of
achievement in a specified subject
area and interpreting the
collected measurement and
determining some worth or value.

Two Purposes of Assessment

Applications to Practice

2. Assessment for learning

The survival of PE in the schools depends on:

Designed to provide feedback


The task itself becomes a learning experience that
challenges students existing knowledge and beliefs
Fosters active construction of meaning

how well we define the purposes and outcomes of our


programs
methods we use to document the successes of students and
teachers

Ways to Assess

Assessment Considerations

Formative assessment- small assessments throughout a unit of


instruction
Summative assessment -more formal assessment at the end of
a unit/year

Two Purposes of Assessment


1. Assessment for accountability
Large scale standardized testing
Legislation for teacher evaluation

Question to Consider
How are
assessment,
curriculum,
instruction,
and learning
related/linked?

Set Objectives

Experiences

Outcomes

Objectives

Performance-Based Assessment
Require presentation of meaningful tasks
Look at what experts in the field do
Radio announcers, officials, news paper writers

Emphasize higher-order thinking and more complex learning

Characteristics of P-B Assessment

Characteristics of P-B Assessment


Both the process and product are important

Articulate criteria in advance


Embed assessments so firmly in the curriculum they are part
of instruction-especially formative assessments

Domains of Learning in PE
Psychomotor
Fundamental &
Complex Motor
Skills
Fitness
Outcomes

Ex. Tennis: whether the serve landed in or out is


important but do not ignore process items such
as: proper grip, stance etc.

P-B Assessment Examples

Need for consistency among assessment tasks & rubrics


Shared understanding of definitions in rubric
Tasks that measure the intended outcome

Good Instructional Alignment


Teachers test students on what they teach
Students know exactly what is expected ahead of time

Assessment Options for All Domains

Validity & Reliability of Assessments

Sample
Assessments I

Allows for direct observation of student work (application of


knowledge in context)

Teacher -- The teacher collects and analyzes all the


information.
Peer -- Other students (peers) collect assessment
information and provide feedback to the student.
Self --The learner, with guidance, analyzes their
performance, knowledge, or feelings.

Validity
The soundness or appropriateness of a test or instrument in
measuring what it is designed to measure
(Vincent 1999)

Lets review

Degree to which a test or instrument measures what it


purports to measure
(Thomas & Nelson 1996)

12/3/2014

Evidence Outcome:
6.2.3b: Set realistic
fitness goals, and strive
to attain them through
participation in
activities of individual
choosing.
Does the
rubric
measure the
outcome?

Criteria
4 = Advanced
Student will perform in 5 or more of the 7
fitness tests in the Healthy or Exceeds Fitness
Zone
3 = Proficient
Student will perform 4 out of the 7 fitness
tests in the Healthy or Exceeds Fitness Zone
2 = Partially Proficient
Student will perform 2 or 3 of the 7 fitness
tests in the Healthy or Exceeds Fitness Zone

Score

Reliability

Objectivity

the degree to which a test or measure produces the


same scores when applied in the same
circumstances
(Nelson 1997)

1 = In-Progress
Student will perform 1 of the 7 fitness tests in
the Healthy or Exceeds Fitness Zone

the degree to which different observers agree


on measurements
(Atkinson & Nevill 1998)

0 = No basis for evaluation or not tested

Rater Reliability
Interrater reliability

Therefore

The consistency of a given measurement from more than one observer or


measurement tool on more than one occasion

We revised 2 assessments (2nd grade and 6th grade)

e.g.

Added assessment tasks and revised rubric to increase


validity and reliability

Take Home Messages

You have the assessment results.


Now what?

Take-Home Messages

Self-evaluation/reflection

Assessment is vital for both accountability and learning

Student Progress Identification


Reports to students
Reports to administration, state-level
Reports to parents (report cards, progress reports)
Newsletters home
Sharing accomplishments with community

It is the only systematic way to determine if standards (SLOs) are


being met and if the purpose of PE is being fulfilled
Using an Assessment Planning Calendar is an organized way to
accomplish this monumental task
Try to incorporate a few assessments at a time. Dont overwhelm
yourself.
Share your assessment results (aka accomplishment of SLOs)
with students, parents, teachers, administrators, and community
members!
Use assessment data to drive improvements in your practice!

a. Flat Contact Surface
b. Knees Bent
c. Ball contacts forearms above wrist
d. Transfer weight towards target (dont swing)

Task:
4. Explain each station:
a. Station 1 & 2 Students cooperatively set a goal for the number of successful forearm passes
they can make as a group without dropping the ball and write it on the poster. Then, they
proceed to try to meet/exceed their goal. At the end of the station, they record the number
they accomplished on the poster.
b. Station 3 Students practice volleying (forearm pass) back and forth with their best form.
c. Station 4 Students first view their own Coachs Eye video and use the tools to analyze their
form (3 minutes max). They must address all 4 cues in their analysis. Then, they video record
the students volleying in station #3 for 20 seconds in a new video.
5. In pairs, have students begin at station #1-4.
6. Begin with approximately 1 minute for the first round to allow for the first filming event to occur.
7. Rotate stations every 3-4 minutes, giving students a 30 second warning before changing stations.
8. During closure, review the cues for the forearm pass and ask students to share their goal setting
accomplishments while referring to the poster.
Teacher Assessment:
9. After class, review the videos on the iPad.
10. Use the Cues Checklist to determine which cues students successfully demonstrated.
11. Use the Self-Analysis Checklist to determine whether or not students were accurate in their selfanalysis of the forearm pass.
12. Review the Goals Poster to determine whether or not students were able to establish and accomplish
goals as a class.

Teacher Tally Sheet


Volleyball Forearm Pass
Instructions: Use this tally sheet to keep track of students performance of the skill. If students perform the cue correctly, give them a score of 1. If
they perform it incorrectly, give a score of 0. In the pretest, view the Coachs Eye video analysis that was captured by students. For the post-test,
use this sheet to record students performance during authentic game play. View the Coachs Eye analysis that each student completed on his/her
own performance. Give a score of 1 if the student was correct in the self-analysis or a 0 if the student was incorrect.
