Nature of the assessment
Reflective journal
Purposes of the assessment
To assess student awareness of roles within a group during physical activity and the effects these roles can have
Stage in the Teaching sequence
Part of a student journal which students completed throughout the year – formative and summative assessment
Assessment task
Students were asked to list three roles that a person could adopt during physical activity and then, for each role, to list two responsibilities. Finally they had to describe ethical behaviour that could be demonstrated within the context of each role.
Assessment process
The teacher read the journals and evaluated students’ ability to:
- identify the roles available to participants in physical activities
- recognise the responsibilities for each role identified
- identify and describe ethical behaviour required within the context of the different roles.
Using the information
The teacher categorised the students’ answers as:
- underdeveloped understandings
- developing understandings
- well-developed understandings.
She then observed students during physical activity to see how they were applying their knowledge.
The teacher provided feedback to each student, identifying a strength in their written answers and/or during their physical activity, and she offered corrective information to guide improvement.
