  1. Evaluation & Grading

  2. Is there a difference? • Evaluation: the measurement of skills, knowledges, and attitudes taught in PE classes. • Grading: a composite score that incorporates the information and data gathered through the evaluation process.

  3. Evaluation • How do we determine grades in more traditional classroom settings? • Now, how do we determine grades in PE?

  4. Evaluation in PE • What can be evaluated in the gym? • Skills • Homework • Journals • Cognitive abilities • Attitudes and values • Student performance

  5. Evaluation of Skills • Health-Related Fitness • Fitnessgram • Sport Skills Tests • Standardized skill tests for almost all sport skills

  6. Evaluation Methods- Subjective vs. Objective • Subjective tend to be less reliable • Subjective are easier to perform • Checklists • Anecdotal Record Sheets • Interviews • Self-evaluation

  7. Why grade in PE? • Credibility • Communicate performance to parents • Accountability (BIG ONE) • Rewards skilled students

  8. Differing Viewpoints • Educational Objectives vs. Administrative Tasks • Process vs. Product • Relative Improvement • Grading on Potential • Pass-Fail vs. Letter Grade • Negative vs. Positive Grading

  9. Alternative Assessment • Students are engaged in applying skills and knowledge to solve “real world” problems, giving the task a sense of authenticity. • Offers an alternative to standardized testing. • Is thought to be performance-based, requiring students to demonstrate specific skills and competencies.

  10. Requires a student to execute a task and bring it to completion • Is multi-dimensional (some tasks are better than others) • Examples are oral presentations, written products, solutions to problems, experiments, debates, portfolios…

  11. 4 characteristics • Designed to be truly representative of performance in the field. • Provide criteria in form of expected standards • Can utilize self-assessment • Students are expected to present and defend their work

  12. Types of AA • Written Essays • Oral Discourse • Exhibitions and Event Tasks • Portfolios

  13. Why use portfolios? • Encourages individualized learning • Documents student learning and achievement of outcomes • Promotes student responsibility and active learning • Provides feedback and continuous evaluation of student progress

  14. Concerns of AA • Validity and reliability • Confusion over terminology • Rubrics are often difficult to write • Tends to be labor intensive • Personal bias • Generosity error • Lack of objective scoring

  15. Advantages of AA • User friendly • Authentic • Provides meaningful and relevant info • More than one correct response • Higher level thinking skills are required • Increases a teacher’s options for evaluation • Multidimensional

  16. Conclusion • Which ever evaluation system you decide to use, hold students accountable for learning and remember…. NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE MOTIVATED BY GRADES!
