Active participation is a key piece in the evaluation and grading of students.
Starting from a conceptual approach, skills and knowledge will be practiced and applied through performance. Students will be actively involved in their own learning and will be constructing their own knowledge through a variety of teaching methods. Discuss the reasons for skill testing, criteria for good tests, selecting and constructing tests and sound testing procedures. Identify and select appropriate evaluation tools to monitor learning in sport and activity and describe procedures for allowing students to inquire and interpret testing results. Define and demonstrate use of measures of central tendency and measures of variability, percentiles, T-scores, and standard scores in measurements and physical abilities.
