PED 383: Adapted Physical Education
Dr. Johnson

2. Terminology Measurement Evaluation (Assessment)
The process of collecting data on the property or attribute of interest
Evaluation (Assessment)
The process of interpreting the measurement data and making a judgment by comparing results with predetermined criteria or objectives.

3. Standards Norm based Criterion Based
Comparison of one students performance against the performance of others from a particular peer group with similar characteristics.
Criterion Based
Comparison of individual scores to some absolute level of mastery or predetermined criterion.

4. Testing Standardized Alternative Authentic
Implementing previously established test procedures and protocols in controlled environments in order to objectively collect data.
Alternative
Gathering of data through a variety of testing means and environmental conditions. (can be done in different ways)
Authentic
Testing in real world environments.

5. Alternative testing Checklist Rubric Task Anaylsis (SAMs Portfolios
Presence or absence of behaviors (list)
Rubric
Rating scales that distinguish levels of performance or skill through clear performance criteria
Task Anaylsis (SAMs
Portfolios
Collection of exhibits

6. Best testing method?
Synthesis of the two
Authentic
Alternative

7. Need for testing and assessment in Adapted PE
Increasing motivation
Determine Strengths and weaknesses
Classifying students
Determining the degree of achievement
Evaluation instruction and programs
Predicting success
Conducting research
Criteria
Low motor Development
Low motor Skill performance
Low health related fitness

8. Social Skills measurement
Social skills = affective skills
A = Appropriate = always meets criteria
NI = Needs Improvement = Sometimes meets criteria
I = Inappropriate = Never meets criteria

9. State and District requirements
Must meet one of three options:
1. Participation in the same standardized tests
2. Appropriate accommodations are provided
3. Alternative test is given.

10. Types of instruments
Milani-Comparetti Motor Development Screening test for infants and young children
Peabody Developmental Motor Scales
Test of Gross Motor Development – 2
Sport Skills Program Guides

Activitygram

11. Milani-Comparetti Motor Development Screening test for infants and young children
Reflexes and reactions
Measures motor development until 24 months
Relatively easy to administer
27 items
9 spontaneous behaviors
18 evoked responses
5 primitive reflexes
13 other reflexes.

12. Peabody Developmental Motor Scales
Rudimentary Movements
Gross and fine motor skills to 83 months
Reflexes, stationary balance, locomotion, object manipulation, grasping and visual motor integration
Larger sample of areas addressed
More information
More detail

13. Test of Gross Motor Development – 2
Fundamental Movements
Gross motor in Pre-school and early elementary
Locomotor (6 items) and object control (6 items) tested.
Very accurately reflect abilities

14. Sport Skills Program Guides
Specialized Activity Movements
Compliment existing evaluations
Guides for testing 29 sports (not actually tests given).
Convenient testing
Not reliable of valid

15. Brockport Physical Fitness Test
Health related physical fitness
27 test items
Body composition, Aerobic functioning and musculoskeletal functioning (muscular strength, endurance and flexibility)
Similar to Fitnessgram (easy to use)

16. Activitygram Physical Activity Associated with Fitnessgram
Records, analyzes and saves activity data
Can produce reports
Easy to use with Adapted PE
Must have good memory of previous days.

17. Program Evaluation MUST constantly re-evaluate your own program
