List and briefly describe four samples of alternative assessment strategies - Answers 1. Event Tasks
A performance task that students can complete during a class period
2. Student project
Refers to a range of activities in which class concepts are incorporated into a finished product
following guidelines set by the instructor
3. Student Journal
Students share information regarding feelings, attitudes, perceptions, or reflections with regard to the
activity
4.Portfolio
A collection of work complied over time and reviewed against criteria
What is the relationship between program goals, unit objectives, and performance-based objectives?
- Answers They should all be linked, measurable. The performance based objectives should match the
unit objectives, and the unit objectives should match the program goals
What are the four learning domains of physical education? Give examples of program goals (suggest
using NASPE Standards) for each domain. - Answers Psychomotor, affective, cognitive, health-related
fitness
Be able to explain the program development process (all steps), needs assessment and how the steps
relate. - Answers Step 1: establish program philosophy
, Step2: develop program goals
Step 3: plan program activities
Step 4: deliver the program
Step 5:evaluate and improve program
Be able to explain how measurement and evaluation procedures play a role in program development
and revision. - Answers
Validity - Answers -Is the degree of truthfulness of a test score
-Should be considered a continuous rather than discrete measurement.
-Determines the confidence we have of the accuracy of data collected.
Reliability - Answers A test that produces consistent results over several trails is reliable.
Some tests are more precise than others.
It can be thought of as measurement with consistent error.
Objectivity - Answers Objectivity is a type of reliability that concerns the administration of tests.
In subjective tests, a criterion measure is often used to improve objectivity.
Objectivity also depends on the clarity of instructions.
Teacher must understand the test.
Teacher must administer test appropriately - follow protocols.
Students must understand how test is performed and how it is scored.
Describe the relationship between validity, reliability, and objectivity. - Answers Validity
The degree of truthfulness of a test score (accurately measures the attribute it is designed to
measure)
Reliability
A test that produces consistent results over several trials is reliable.
Objectivity
A type of reliability that concerns the administration of tests.
Without objectivity an instrument will lack reliability.
Without reliability, a test cannot be valid.
A test may be reliable but not valid.
Validity: Content - Answers -sometimes called "face" or "logical" validity
-depends on personal judgment of logic and comparison
-in-depth analysis ensures the representativeness of test items
-Content Validity depends on professional judgement
Validity: Criterion- related - Answers Coordinates scores from a test to a specific criteria that
accurately measures the same attribute of interest
-actual participation
-expert panel of judges
-known valid criterion
Includes concurrent and predictive validity
Validity: Construct - Answers Refers to degree that results of a test accurately measure an attribute or
trait that cannot be directly measured
Examples: anxiety, attitudes toward physical activity, ability to play basketball
Reliability: Test- retest - Answers Administer test twice to same subjects in same conditions.
Interval between tests should be as short as possible (consider fatigue).
Correlate the two data sets.
For evidence of reliability, a correlation of > +.7 is desirable.
Reliability: Alternative form - Answers Two equivalent forms of test or survey in question are
required.
Administer both forms of the test.
Interval between administrations should be as short as possible.
Correlate the two data sets to establish reliability.
Reliability: Split- half or Odd-even - Answers Only one test administration of test or survey is required.
Results are split in half or separated by odd- even items to create two sets of data.
Correlate the two sets of data to establish reliability.
