Question 1

One of the quickest and most efficient ways for teachers to get information on the effectiveness of the instructional process is to
A) sample student performance.
B) make sure you test every student.
C) include affective, cognitive, and psychomotor testing in one test.
D) assess only at the end of the unit.

Accepted Answer

Sampling student performance allows teachers to quickly gauge the effectiveness of their instruction by observing and evaluating a representative sample of student work or responses. This method is efficient because it does not require testing every student extensively or waiting until the end of a unit to assess learning.

Question 2

Fitness gram is a good example of
A) criterion referenced assessment.
B) portfolio assessment.
C) summative assessment.
D) formative assessment.

Accepted Answer

Fitness gram is a criterion-referenced assessment because it measures student fitness levels against specific health-related criteria or standards.

Question 3

Student feelings, perceptions and attitudes can best be assessed through
A) scoring rubrics.
B) a skills test.
C) questionnaires.
D) peer assessment.

Accepted Answer

Questionnaires are specifically designed to gather information about subjective aspects such as feelings, perceptions, and attitudes, making them the best tool among the options for assessing these aspects.

Question 4

Authentic assessment puts an emphasis on
A) using the content in real life settings.
B) reliability.
C) specific knowledge of the content.
D) validity.

Accepted Answer

Authentic assessment focuses on applying what has been learned to real-life situations, emphasizing the practical use of knowledge rather than just its theoretical aspects.

Question 5

Which of the following is a representative collection of student work over a period of time?
A) journal.
B) scoring rubric.
C) portfolio.
D) rating scale.

Accepted Answer

A portfolio is a collection of student work that demonstrates their skills, progress, and achievements over a period of time.

Question 6

When teachers want to observe the degree to which a characteristic exists they should use
A) student portfolios.
B) student journals.
C) rating scales.
D) checklists.

Accepted Answer

Rating scales are designed to measure the degree or level of a certain characteristic or behavior, making them suitable for observing the extent to which a characteristic exists.

Question 7

Which of the following is true regarding grades in physical education?
A) Grades should be based on program objectives.
B) Affective objectives should not be included in grades.
C) Students who are self-directed should grade themselves.
D) Grades based on student improvement are best because they eliminate completely the unfairness of performance based grades.

Accepted Answer

Grades in physical education should be based on program objectives to ensure they align with the educational goals and standards set for the course.

Question 8

Holistic scoring rubrics
A) use levels that have multiple criteria to score each level.
B) score each criterion separately.
C) should not combine criteria.
D) use only one criteria.

Accepted Answer

Holistic scoring rubrics evaluate an assignment or performance as a whole, using levels that incorporate multiple criteria to assign a single score, rather than scoring each criterion separately.

Question 9

Which of the following is a process measure of bowling skill?
A) How many pins a bowler knocks down.
B) What kind of approach a bowler uses.
C) How many spares a bowler converts.
D) All of the above.

Accepted Answer

Process measures in sports, including bowling, focus on the technique or approach used rather than the outcome. Choice B, which mentions the kind of approach a bowler uses, is a process measure because it focuses on the technique rather than the result (e.g., the number of pins knocked down or spares converted).

Question 10

Good written tests
A) allow for student choice of questions.
B) test everything you taught a student.
C) are essay in nature.
D) sample student knowledge.

Accepted Answer

Good written tests are designed to sample student knowledge, meaning they assess a representative portion of what students have learned, rather than trying to test everything taught. This approach is more manageable and effective in evaluating students' understanding and mastery of the material.

Question 11

Criterion referenced evaluation
A) compares students to a predetermined acceptable score.
B) compares students to a national sample.
C) cannot compare students.
D) compares students to other students in a class.

Accepted Answer

Criterion-referenced evaluation measures student performance against a fixed set of criteria or an absolute standard rather than comparing students against each other.

Question 12

Tests that teachers make up to fit a specific instructional situation are usually
A) traditional.
B) formal tests.
C) informal tests.
D) not valid for the setting.

Accepted Answer

Tests that teachers create to match a specific instructional situation are typically considered informal tests. These are designed to assess students' understanding of the material covered in class and are tailored to the specific content and learning objectives of that instructional context. Formal tests, on the other hand, are standardized and not specifically designed by the teacher for a particular group of students or instructional setting.

Question 13

Self-testing assessment experiences are
A) None of these.
B) best used with secondary students only.
C) more reliable than peer assessment.
D) more valid than teacher assessments.

Accepted Answer

Self-testing assessment experiences do not inherently fall into the categories of being best used with only secondary students, more reliable than peer assessment, or more valid than teacher assessments. These aspects depend on the context, design, and implementation of the assessments rather than the nature of self-testing itself.

Question 14

Which of the following would be the best example of authentic assessment for middle school students?
A) 5 v 5 basketball.
B) A 2 v 1 small sided game of basketball.
C) A skill test for basketball shooting.
D) A skill test for both dribbling and shooting.

Accepted Answer

A 2 v 1 small sided game of basketball is an example of authentic assessment because it simulates real game situations, requiring students to apply skills in context, make decisions, and work with others, closely mirroring the complexities of actual gameplay.
