Assessments in Meeting the NASPE Standards Javi Ramirez B
Why is it important? • Before NASPE, physical education programs revolved around students moving, being happy, and following instruction. • NASPE standards gave clear directions on achievable goals and objectives focusing on student achievement. - (De Jong 2002)
Why is it important? (cont.) • NASPE standards outline what is worth knowing and being able to do. • Specific recommendations on what to teach, how to teach, and how to assess is up to us. • Assessment is much more than collecting data. It defines the means to accomplishing the end and not just the end itself. -(De Jong 2002)
Following the Steps • 1. Assessment Decisions • Instructional • What are we going to teach in order for our students to reach the NASPE standards? (Kelly 2004) • Should we grade on dressing, speed of students, number of times absent? • What do the standards say? • A variety of different assessment instruments should be used. (Mohnsen 2006)
Following the Steps • 2. Matching Assessment Instructions with Assessment Decisions • Norm-referenced • Criterion-referenced • Observatory/Feedback • (Kelly 2004) • Is each standard one that can be measured by comparison to other students or to a certain criteria? • Many teachers are using an achievement based approach to prove results and effectiveness in their classrooms. (Dolittle 1996).
Following the Steps • 3. Collecting Accurate and Valid Data • Valid and Reliable • Following General Assessment Guidelines • Basic Assessment Rules • (Kelly 2004) • Important in meeting the standards. Accurate collection is the only way that the model works.
Following the Steps • Step 4: Interpreting Assessment Data and Making Appropriate Decisions • What is the focus of instruction for next class? • Give the students feedback • Use data to measure student progress, effectiveness of the teacher, appropriateness of methods, and overall merit. • (Kelly 2004) (De Jong 2002)
How do we assess our program? • As an educator, it is necessary for us to know whether our program is effective.
