ASSESSMENT

Player Evaluation

1) Psychomotor Evaluation (30% of unit assessment)

Evaluation will take place for each of the skills covered in the badminton unit.  Each player will perform designated (by teacher) reps and attempt to hit one or numerous targets in a court.

v    15% would be awarded for accuracy in hitting target area
v    15% would be awarded for teacher’s subjective evaluation of technique of  student’s strokes (including racquet manipulation and body movements necessary to perform strokes effectively).  The subjective evaluation will be done using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 meaning the player can perform the basic movement of the skill or techniques required for a tactic, and 5 meaning the player performs the skill/tactic consistently at a well-executed level.

Subjective Evaluation (Sample)

Stroke Technique (can be done through observation of game play or during accuracy testing for some techniques)

___1. Proper wrist action used
___2. Variety of strokes used during game play
___3. Body positioning to execute strokes is correct
___4. Follow-through is done correctly according to stroke performed
___5. The shuttle is contacted as high and as early as possible

Use of Court Space (evaluated during game play)

___1. Player covers all areas of the court well
___2. The player considers the opponent’s weaknesses when considering where on the   
          court to return the shuttle to
___3. Serves are effective and accurate (using both long and short serves)
___4. The shuttle is played to open space whenever possible
___5. The player resumes the ready position in center base court after every shot whenever possible

2. Cognitive Evaluation (20% of unit assessment)

v    Written test that illustrates that the student understands the lines, basic rules, and some basic strategies of singles badminton.




Sample Test

1)    Draw a badminton court (the entire court including doubles lines) and label the following on it: center line, singles sideline, short service line, net, back boundary line, long service line for singles, service areas (8 points)

T/F Section (1 point each)

1) In badminton the final score could be 17-15
2) The serving player gets two chances for a successful serve
3) A player can only gain a point when he or she has the serve
4) A shuttle that hits the sideline is considered to be out
5) In Singles play, the court is long and narrow
6) If a player is serving and he/she has 10 points, he/she will serve from the right service
   court
7) If a part of a player’s racquet hits the net or crosses the net after a shot, the point will be replayed
8) The player serving can step forward as the shuttle is struck during the serve

Short Answer

1) List 3 strategies that can be used in singles badminton and explain why they can be effective strategies. (3 points)

2) List four technique points for the overhead clear. (4 points)

3) Explain the difference between the basic ready position and the attack stance. Include in your answer an explanation of the differences in body positions and the specific times in a match when you would use each stance. (4 points)

3. Affective Evaluation (50% of unit assessment)

v    25% awarded for daily log, which lists goals for the unit and charts progression toward the learner’s goals.  Marks are given for effort (15%) and if the student made obvious attempts to reach his or her goals (10%).  
v    25% awarded based on attitude, active participation, cooperation, sportsmanship, and leadership.  15% of this mark will come from the teacher’s subjective evaluation, and 10% will come from a self-assessment the learner will fill out at the end of the unit.


Self-Assessment (Sample)

All questions are to be given a mark from 1 to 5.  
    1-    hardly ever    2 – once in a while    3-sometimes    4-often    5-always
1) Did I demonstrate a positive attitude towards the activities and my peers?                      
2) Did I participate in all activities during the unit?
