Physical Education is a unique area to assess. It is unique
because Physical Education covers a realm of learning domains.
It involves the Cognitive or thinking stage, the Psychomotor or
movement stage, and the Affective or attitude/social stage. This
makes it a great opportunity to assess the whole student. The
traditional Physical Educator assesses or grades their students
based on the following criteria: attendance, clothing dress-up,
and participation in running the mile. It is normally weighted
because Physical Education covers a realm of learning domains.

The cognitive domain involves what the students learn and how they use it within their mind as
they learn a movement activity in Physical Education. This could be “What allowed my arm to
throw the ball that far?”, or “How do I get from point A to point B?”, or “Who is one of the great
female founders of Physical Education?” The Affective domain covers such ideas as how the
student interacts with other students, how they feel about their performance, and whether or
not they are learning sportsmanship. The Psychomotor domain involves how they move their
bodies to perform an expected outcome, training their body to do the correct movement, and
developing a healthy life-style. Since Physical Education uses these three ideas equally in its
development, my assessment will reflect these interchanging circles.
1. Psychomotor Domain (CA PE Standards 1 & 3) - 50% of grade - will be demonstrated through:
a. Participation - students are expected to participate in class
b. Cardiovascular Activities - goal times are set and must be met
c. Skill Acquisition - recorded and proved at the end of each unit during game-play
2. Cognitive Domain (CA PE Standards 2 & 3)- 40% of Grade - will be demonstrated through:
a. Written projects - history of sport, biography, training journal, diet log, etc.
b. Homework - newspaper reviews, crossword puzzles, etc.
c. Tests - covering rules/strategies at the end of each unit
3. Affective Domain (CA PE Standard 5)- 10% of grade - will be demonstrated through:
a. Overall Attitude - towards students and teacher
b. Sportsmanship - how students play against and with other students
c. Individual Behavior

| Daily Assessment System... All students begin with a 100% "A" in the Psychomotor and Affective Domains. They are expected to maintain the "A" by fully participating in daily activities. These activities include, but are not limited to: - 90 second warm up exercise (running a lap or performing 4 sets of 10 jumping jacks) - 3 minutes of muscle specific stretching - 2 sets of either push-ups or curl ups - The running activity for that specific day (2 laps, sprints, timed running, etc.) - Participation in the lesson plan for that day A recorded report of a students non-participation in the above events is kept on my Palm TX. These daily scores are converted to text format at the end of every month, and then entered and recorded into the "grade book." |
around 50 percent attendance, 25 percent clothing dress up, and 25 percent participation in
running the mile. This type of assessment is not very authentic, yet it is very easy for the
traditional teacher to do. Because of this grading scale, and poor teaching, Physical Education
has been given a bad reputation over the last century. I plan to change this reputation to the
best of my ability, and part of that change is implementing a different assessment style. My style
is based on the three learning domains noted earlier, Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor.
