Assessment
Assessment for the block plan should take place both
by formative feedback (Student Learning) and by summative grade assigning
(Teacher Instruction).
Student Learning
Student learning will take place and be assessed
by the Games Performance Assessment Instrument
(Griffin, Mitchell & Oslin, 1997). The three components of this instrument,
Decision Making, Skill Execution, and Support can be measured by the classes
peers in pairs while observing a game situation.
-
Decision Making Criteria: Making appropriate choices about what
to do with the object during possession.
-
Skill Execution Criteria: Efficient performance of skills. (ie:
control of pass, set for triple threat, ball reaches target, ball shot
above net into target area)
-
Support Criteria: Making appropriate off-the-ball movements to a
position to receive a pass when a teammate has possession.
Example
of a blank GPAI (Griffin, Mitchell & Oslin, 1997)
Example
of a completed GPAI (Hopper, 2000)
Assessment can also be completed by:
-
Skill Testing (ie: number of free throw baskets attempted/made)
-
Written exams
If both the GPAI and the above stated forms of testing are used in conjunction
with one another, the participants grades will be able to represent both
abilities as well as strategies/tactics within the specific sport. By utilizing
both these modalities of assessment grading will develop into an efficient
marker for physical education.
Teaching Instruction
Teaching instructional assessment must also take
place hand-in-hand with the student learning assessment. Teachers can be
assessed by other teachers or by students. Students can assess teachers
