Chapter 7 Measuring Psychomotor Skills
Psychomotor Domain • emphasized in school settings • includes: • skill-related physical fitness • development of movement competence
Stages of Movement Competencies • body management • fundamental skills • locomotor • non-locomotor • manipulative • specialized skills • higher skill attainment
Considerations for Testing • Encourage maximum effort. • Get to know each student. • Provide effective demonstrations. • Avoid potentially embarrassing situations. • Test in a nonthreatening environment. • Practice or simulate testing conditions. • Recognize contraindicated activities.
Uses of Psychomotor Tests • Provide valid measurements. • Classify students. • Include item as a part of a more comprehensive set of tests. • Assess performance to predict potential in particular activities. • Motivate students to higher levels of skills performance.
Uses of Psychomotor Tests (continued) • Determine student achievement and grades. • Developing class profiles. • Assess instructional effectiveness in a specific unit of instruction. • Diagnose motor deficiencies. • Supplement and enrich class instruction. • Explain the physical education program to various constituencies.
Skill-Related Dimension • agility • balance • coordination • power • speed • reaction time
Measuring Agility • zig zag runs • side-stepping • obstacle runs • shuttle runs
Measuring Balance • static balance – ability to maintain equilibrium in a stationary position • stork stand • dynamic balance – ability to move through space in a steady and stable manner • balance beam walk
Measuring Coordination • coordination – harmoniously integrate multiple gross motor skills into a smooth movement pattern • Body Coordination Test • Alternative assessments are often used.
Measuring Power • standing long jump • vertical jump • softball throw for distance (throwing power)
Measuring Speed and Reaction • Speed and reaction can be considered separately, but there is a relationship. • 50 yard dash • Hand Reaction Time Test
