ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION OF STUDENTS
Meaning of Assessment
The word ‘assessment’ derived from related senses of assess, the word ‘assess’ comes from the
Latin assidere, which means to sit beside.
Assessment has two meanings
The most suited for physical education is “the act of making a judgment about something”
Assessment is the process deployed to understand student learning.
Assessment should answer two questions:
1.What was learnt?
2. How well was it learnt?
2.
Meaning of Evaluation
An evaluation can be used as a final review to gauge the quality of instruction. It’s product
oriented. This means that the main question is: “What’s been learned?” In short, evaluation is
judgmental.
(Both assessment and evaluation require criteria, use measures and are evidence driven.)
Difference between Assessment and Evaluation
Assessment is ongoing and evaluation provide closure.
Assessment improves learning quality and evaluation judges learning level.
Assessment upgraded and evaluation graded.
Assessment provides feedback and evaluation shows shortfalls.
Type of evaluation
Formative Evaluation:
Summative Evaluation:
Diagnostic Evaluation:
Formative Evaluation:
Formative evaluation is ongoing process. It is evaluation used to monitor students learning
progress during instruction with the purpose of providing on going feedback to students and
teachers.
Summative Evaluation:
Summative evaluation evaluate the outcome of the program. This type of evaluation is given at the
end of the course to what extent the student has mastered the intended learning outcomes.
Diagnostic Evaluation: Diagnostic means to find out the exact problem. Through diagnostic
evaluation the teacher can know the student (their strength and weakness). This evaluation also
helps to find out the causes of learning problem. This can be fixed with the remedial actions
Some more reasons why Assessment and documenting them in the form
of report is important?
Identify areas of Strength and improvement- The major use of testing is to
mark strengths and the areas that need attention.
Monitor learning and fine tune teaching: Measurements will show which
teaching engagements have worked and which need to be tweaked/ fine-tuned.
Example if upper body strength is low then lessons which focus on that need to
be repeated.
Talent identification- A general testing battery can provide an idea of
student’s basic strengths. This can be used as an objective method to motivate
children to play competitively. Of course, the student inclination and choice of
sport needs to be given priority.
Motivating performance: Students and teachers encounter the following
questions as a result of measurements.
Motivating performance: Students and teachers encounter the following
questions as a result of measurements.
Students
• Now that I know how I'm doing, what is my next goal?
• Can I take charge of my learning, who can help me do better?
Teacher
• What is working for the students?
• What can I do to help the students more?
• In what direction should I go next?
Components of Fitness
A. Health Related Fitness:
Health related fitness refers to a basis on which to measure our general wellbeing by striving to
achieve a reasonable level of health fitness in each area. It focuses on five health related
components of fitness which include
cardiovascular endurance,
anaerobic ability,
muscular strength,
flexibility and body composition.
Health Related Fitness can be assessed by measuring the following abilities/ capacities:
Aerobic Capacity
• Anaerobic Capacity
• Strength
• Flexibility
• Body composition
• Body Mass Index (BMI) = Weight (in kg) / Height2 (in m)
B. B.Skill Related Fitness
The skill related fitness are based upon the neuromuscular system and determine how successfully
a person can perform a specific skill.
Skill related fitness can be assessed by measuring the following abilities/ capacities:
Action
Balance
Coordination
Action: The ability to perform the right movement, as is required by the specific sport.
• Running
• Swift change of direction
• Turning and Twisting
Balance:
It is the ability to maintain equilibrium either in stationary or in a moving position. In everyday
life, several examples of balance can be seen when we shift our weight from one body part to the
other.
• Walking
• Running
• Walking on balancing beam
• Jumping and landing on one leg
Co-ordination: The ability to use different senses and body parts together. Hand/eye co-ordination
is needed when hitting a moving ball in tennis, cricket and baseball. Foot/eye co-ordination is
needed when volleying a football. Some examples include
Hitting the ball with the bat
Catching the ball
Throwing a basketball into the basket
Hurdle race
1.2 Prepare assessment report and provide feedback
The WHO definition of Health and Fitness is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-
being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Some more reasons why Assessment and documenting them in the form of report is important?
Identify areas of Strength and improvement-
Monitor learning and fine tune teaching
Talent identification-
Motivating performance
Sample teacher notes on student assessments by grading them
Term 1: Participates with enthusiasm, yet distracts others from learning.
Term 2: Listens well and works/plays well with others.
Term 3: Takes responsibility for learning.
Sample Report Card:

(a) Plan, Implement, Assessment, Report
(b) Assessment, Report, Plan, Implement
(c) Implement, Report, Assessment, Plan
(d) Report, Plan, Implement, Assessment

Formula of Body Mass Index (BMI) =
A) Weight (in kg) / Height2 (in inch)
B) Weight (in kg) / Height2 (in m)
C) Weight (in kg) / Height (in m)
D) Weight (in kg) / Height (in inch)
Health Related Fitness can be assessed by measuring the following abilities:
A) Aerobic Capacity.
B) Action
C) Balance
D) Coordination
What are the Difference between Assessment and Evaluation.
Ans: 1-Assessment is ongoing and evaluation provide closure.
2-Assessment improves learning quality and evaluation judges learning level.
3-Assessment upgraded and evaluation graded.
4-Assessment provides feedback and evaluation shows shortfalls.
Write the type of evaluation. Enlist and write about any one.
Ans . Formative Evaluation-Formative evaluation is ongoing process. It is evaluation used to
monitor students learning progress during instruction with the purpose of providing
ongoing feedback to students and teachers
Summative Evaluation- Summative evaluation evaluates the outcome of theprogram. This
type of evaluation is given at the end of the course to what extent the student has
mastered the intended learning outcomes.
Diagnostic Evaluation-Diagnostic means to find out the exact problem. Through diagnostic
evaluation the teacher can know the student (their strengthand weakness). This evaluation
also helps to find out the causes of learning problem. This can be fixed with the remedial
actions
