What you’ll be able to do

  • Summarize the concept of assessment and identify the criteria for a good assessment instrument.

  • Recall the concept of research, various research designs, and the importance of research in physical education.

  • Develop skills in quantitative reasoning, including: manipulate quantitative information to create models, and devise solutions to problems using multi-step arguments using quantitative information, evaluate models and arguments using quantitative information, and express and interpret in context models, solutions and arguments using verbal, numerical, and computational techniques.

  • Apply the sustainability principles and/or frameworks to addressing the challenge of producing assessment instruments in the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains, focusing on the five national standards.

  • Describe the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of conducting a research project, including writing methods, analyzing data, discussing results, drawing conclusions, and presenting findings, and identify potential trade-offs and interrelationships among these dimensions at a level appropriate to the course.
