Grading • What is it? • Summative process • Include all learning domains • Standards based • Developmentally appropriate
Grading • What it isn’t: • A one shot deal • Based on management issues such as: • Lacking objectivity • Embarrassing • Fitness score based
Reasons some give for not grading • PE is not an academic subject • Extremely time consuming • PE teachers are unreliable in grading • Grades can discourage children
Reasons to Grade • Communicates information • Accountability • PE should have same status as other subjects • New assessment strategies improve grading • Grading keeps PE in educational mainstream
Issues in Grading • Objectives vs. Student Responsibilities • Process vs. Product • Improvement vs. Achievement • Grading Emphasis of Domains
Objectives vs. Student Responsibilities • What is the difference? • Should student responsibilities be graded? • What are some examples of student responsibilities that should not be graded? • What are some examples of student objectives that should be assessed and graded?
Process vs. Product • What do we mean by process? • What do we mean by product? • What should we grade: process or product? • NASPE suggests a combination of both that is developmentally appropriate
Improvement vs. Achievement • Improvement: • Issues with grading on improvement: • Pre and post testing • Ceiling effect • Achievement: • Issues with grading on achievement: • One shot at grading
Grading Emphasis of Domains • How do you establish a grading protocol? • Philosophy • Standards • Time spent on objectives • Developmental level of students • How do you know if it is fair? • Pilot test • Does it meet the “observation test”?
