Static and Dynamic Labs
 Opportunities for students to physically experience
the concept (dynamic labs) or to examine the
concept through research/videos etc. (static labs)
 Dynamic/experiential/hands on approach is
suggested.
 E.g., Public Profile, Unit #1, Activity #1, TL Strategy #6:
 Parts and Structures of the Skeletal System:
A) examine the model skeleton or x-rays to complete
worksheets
B) complete skeletal Manipulations Lab
C) complete a worksheet that compares common terms
versus anatomical terms (e.g., thigh bone versus
femur, skull versus cranium)
Grade 12 Exercise Science (PSE4U)
Assessment and Evaluation
 70% - based on assignments and evaluations conducted
throughout the course
 30% - based on final examination in the form of an examination,
performance, essay and/or other method
 Consider: examination and a portfolio.
 Portfolio could consist of a collection of student work
(case studies, technology projects, labs) that
focuses on three main areas:
Human Performance
Motor Development
Physical Activity and Sport in Society and Culture

ASSESSMENT
What is Unique About H & PE?
 Immediate
skill demonstration
 Large number of students
 Expectations are combined within and
across strands
 Assessment may be ongoing, multi-activity
or single activity
 Exceptional students may need a variety
of alterations
From the Curriculum to the Report
Card – What is the Process?
Step #1.
Understanding the Curriculum
Step #2.
Collecting the evidence
Step #3.
Recording the evidence of
student learning
Evaluating – making the
judgement
Completing the Provincial
Report Card
Step #4.
Step #5.
Achievement Levels
Level 1 – below standard
Level 2 – approaching standard
Level 3 – Provincial standard
Level 4 – achievement above standard
Knowledge and Skills Categories

Knowledge/Understanding
 Thinking/Inquiry
 Communication
 Application
These categories develop learning tasks and
assessment activities, inform parents of the
focus of assessment, and identify the learning
expectation as a “knowledge” or “skill”
Step # 2, continued…

Sample Assessment strategies (what will
students be doing?):









Skill demonstration
Journal, quiz, test
Case study, debate, discussion
Fitness profile/log, graphic organizer
Conference
Project, presentation
Role play
Portfolio, contract
Written or verbal response
Step #2: Collecting the Evidence
Sample assessment tools (what instrument
will the teacher/student use to collect the
evidence?):
 Assessment
scales (rubric)
 Marking scheme
 Target/wheel
 Observation checklist
Designing Assessment Tasks
 Focus
on essential learnings (overall
expectations), group specific expectations
 Determine the knowledge/skill category for
each by examining the verb
 What evidence is required? – use a variety
of assessment tasks to gather evidence
 Provide students with clear targets,
opportunities to meet expectations
 Use Achievement level descriptors as a
guide for gathering evidence
Matching Assessment Tasks
 Connect
the learning expectations to
the Categories and the descriptors in the
Achievement levels in “The Ontario
Curriculum”
(page 38)
Expectations – content for learning
Achievement Levels – how well the student
has achieved the expectations
Verbs Linked to Knowledge/Skills
Categories
 Knowledge/Understanding:
identify, recognize, label, examine,
outline, distinguish, define, analyze,
relate, determine
Verbs Linked to Knowledge/Skills
Categories
 Thinking/Inquiry:
Analyze, interpret, formulate, form,
determine, apply, conclude, explain, use,
evaluate
Verbs Linked to Knowledge/Skills
Categories
 Communication:
explain, describe, communicate,
discuss, present, suggest
Verb Linked to Knowledge/Skills
Categories
 Application
use, employ, apply, display, work, follow,
demonstrate, stay, assess, participate,
implement, improve, maintain, adopt,
provide, acquire, incorporate, transfer,
monitor
STEP #3: Recording the Evidence

create a separate recording chart for each
Knowledge/Skills category (e.g.
Knowledge/Understanding,
Thinking/Inquiry, Communication,
Application of required knowledge)
Step # 4: Evaluating… Making a
Judgement
 This
involves determining the HIGHEST
MOST CONSISTENT LEVEL of
achievement
 A weighting
factor should be considered
for each Knowledge/Skills category, taking
into consideration QUANTITY, TIME, and
QUALITY
Entering the Grade
 Translate
the student’s highest most
consistent level from your recording page
 Translate
that level into a percentage
grade
 View
process as moving from 4 point scale
to 12 point scale
