assessment occurs as teachers share
teaching experience in this way and
come to a common understanding of
what assessment of physical education
represents.
Recording and communicating
The assessment tools recommended
in the curriculum which are selected
for use by the school will provide
information on a child’s progress and
achievement and will provide the basis
for communication with other teachers,
parents and others in the educational
community.
The pupil profile card will be used to
record this information and will
facilitate communication. The profile
will need to be adjusted and updated
on a regular basis, thus helping to
ensure continuity and progression
between classes.
Any report of a child’s progress might
contain information, gathered by the
use of the assessment techniques
outlined above, related to
• the attitude of the child to
participation, which is indicated by
factors such as
– acceptance of winning or losing
– understanding of fair play
– the appropriateness of dress for
the physical education lesson
– the effort displayed by the child
– the application of safe practices
• the child’s achievement related to
the strands of physical education
which he/she engages in, which is
indicated by factors such as
– physical competence
– knowledge and understanding of
activities
– creative and aesthetic
development
– development of health-related
fitness.
