Cognitive Assessment:
Pre-Assessment:
The students will be administered a formal quiz consisting of five
multiple choice, five true or false, and two short answer questions relating to
their knowledge of content from the unit. This content includes offensive
tactics such as creating open space, a variety of passes, fakes, and
pathways along with give and go. All quizzes will be collected and graded by
the instructor and kept for comparison to the post-assessment. Acquisition
of this knowledge helps the students to appropriately utilize these skills
during game play.
Formative assessment:
Throughout the unit the students will be given occasional exit slips.
These slips consist of two to three questions based on the content covered
for that day. The questions on the exit slips reinforce what the students
learned that day so they’re more likely to remember content and provide an
idea for the instructor where the students stand in terms of learning content
and what should be re-visited next class.
Post-Assessment:
For the post-assessment students will be readministered the exact
pre-test and their results will be compared to their beginning results. The
end goal is for students to show improvement from the pre- to the post-
assessment. The data will be collected and displayed on a graph. This gives
the instructor the opportunity to analyze student improvement and adjust
the unit as needed for student success.
fakes, and screens. This assessment tracks the abilities of each of the
students to perform these specific skills that are required for basketball. The
students will be graded by teacher observation during small-sided 3v3
games.
Formative assessment description
While students are taking part in the small sided games, they will be
assessed by an informal peer-assessed rubric. This assessment will benefit
both the assessor and the student participating in the activity. The student
who is assessing will deepen their understanding of the skill while analyzing
the mechanics of their peer and possibly gain knowledge on how to better
their performance. Students will take turns assessing and playing in the
small sided games on the teacher's command.
Affective Assessment:
Grade-Level Outcome: S4.M7.8- independently uses physical activity and
fitness equipment appropriately and identifies specific safety concerns associated
with the activity.
Pre-Assessment:
On the first day of the unit, the students will be given a formal
matching quiz. This quiz will consist of four matching questions that refer to
the static stretches they will be learning throughout the unit and their
corresponding muscle groups. The students will need to match the muscle
group to the picture of its appropriate stretch. All of these quizzes will be
collected by the instructor and kept to be compared to their post-test scores
at the end of the unit.
Formative assessment:
During the unit, the students will be given an exit slip at the end of the
class period. This exit slip will list two questions relating to a random static
stretch they have learned and performed, as well as a question about
stretching in general. By administering this formative assessment, both the
student and the instructor will have a better knowledge of where the student
stands in competency of content being taught for the fitness domain.
Post-Assessment:
For the post-assessment, students will be administered the same pre-
assessment they were given at the beginning of the unit. Results of this
post-assessment will be graded and recorded, along with being graphed and
compared to their pre-test results. The goal is to show improvement across
12
the board for all students. If improvement among students is slim, the
instructor can reflect on where he/she went wrong in the unit and implement
new ways of teaching to better the improvement among students.

when they got to the short answer questions, and this wasn’t
necessarily because they were listing the wrong answer. While many
students did select the wrong answer, majority of students only failed
to explain why they were choosing their answer and therefore only
received half credit. These responses were what lead us to decide the
content of our instructional video. We chose to cover those
explanations in our instructional video in order to help students be
able to not only write the correct answer, but also explain why.
B. The results from our pre- and post-test data overall showed
improvement. The data from the first eight questions (multiple choice
and true/false) remained the same. Only now, two students selected a
wrong answer, but it was between two different questions. This
showed student regression in one question and student progression in
another. However, we faced the same issue as the pre-test for the
short answer. While more students now listed the correct answer, they
still failed to explain it. Therefore, they continued to receive only half
credit for those questions. Our average from our pre-test was a
46.5/54 and from our post-test increased to a 47.4/54. If students had
explained their responses, our average would have been much higher.
The question now for us as instructors is, were our students not
explaining their answer because they did not know, or because they
failed to read the directions?
C.
Here are the average points scored on the cognitive pretest and post-test.
The average points scored for the cognitive pre-test was 46.3 out of 52. The
average points for the cognitive post-test was 47.5 out of 52.
Figure 1
22
Here I will show you the data for each individual question from the pretest to
the post-test. Based on the graph, you can see that students scored
perfectly on questions 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 for the pretest and the post-test.
The highest cumulative score possible for each of these questions was 48.
(there were 12 total students, and those questions were each worth 4 points
so 12 x 4 = 48). For question 2, interestingly enough, there was a perfect
class score of 48 cumulative points for the pretest, however, during the post
test, there was one student who got this question wrong as the score for the
posttest grade for question 2 was 44 points out of 48. This decrease looks
bad, however, there was only one student who did worse than they did on
the pre assessment. This could be caused by several reasons ranging from
lack of sleep, to not reading the question correctly. For question 3, the
cumulative score for the pretest was 40, and the cumulative score for the
posttest was 44. This shows a positive improvement of one person from the
pretest to the post test. For number 9, the pretest cumulative score was
108, and the post test score was 98. This shows a decrease in points scored
from the pre-test to the post-test. What this could actually mean is a lack of
effort in student participation from the pre-test to the post-test. Since this
was our first short answer question, some students did not explain in
enough detail the answer to the question being asked, which in turn,
deducted points. For number 10, there was a very big increase in points
scored on the post-test compared to points scored on the pre-test. Students
now knew more about the 5 health related fitness components to the point
23
where they could not only list 2, but they could explain how they impacted
the athlete. Finally question 11 (the extra credit question) there was the
same amount of cumulative points scored from the pre-assessment and the
post assessment. This question was optional so it makes sense that not
everyone attempted it, and it would be hard to judge if they knew the
content of the question or if they just didn’t bother answering it because it
was optional. Based on the fact that almost all of the multiple-choice
questions were answered correctly by the majority of students, I would say
that they have a clear grasp of the content learned from our GLO’s. For
example, question 10 is the question where students showed the most
improvement. In this question you can tell that the most student learning
occurred. You could tell that most students became a lot more comfortable
explaining how the health-related components affected the athlete. This
directly aligns with one of our grade level outcomes ( S3.M7.8- compares and
contrasts health related fitness components).
Figure 2
D. Here is the chart that shows each student’s score on the pre-
assessment out of 54 possible points including the extra credit option.
Some of the students already scored the max score of 54 points on the
pre-test including student 5 and student 9. Technically student 7 got a
24
perfect score as well since the extra credit portion was worth 52
points. 52 was the score we were looking for. The Average for this
assessment was 46.3.
Figure 3
Figure 4
25
Here is the chart that shows students pre-test and post-test scores. As you
can see more clearly in this chart, the majority of students increased their
grade from pre-assessment to post-assessment. However, some students
decreased their grade. Student 5’s grade decreased from the highest
possible score if 54 to a 49. Student 6’s score decreased from 40 to 38.
Student 9’s score decreased from a 54 to a 53.5. Student 11’s score
decreased from a 49 to a 47, and student 12 stayed the same at 35. Since
more than 50% of the students scored increased from the Pre-test to the
post-test you can tell there was some student learning that took place in the
duration of this unit.

Reliability- Our assessments were extremely reliable in the fact that they can
demonstrate dependability. As students were given the same test, they were
able to produce similar scores within their different attempts.
Validity- Our assessments were valid within the fact that we provided our
students with questions that were related to the intended focus of the unit.
The assessments were able to cover all relevant parts to the subject matter.
Strengths within these assessments can be seen within the first four multiple
choice questions and the next four true or false questions where students
exhibited 100% accuracy for all except one question where two students
selected the wrong answer. This demonstrated an outstanding
understanding of the topic and little room for confusion. Weaknesses within
this assessment would have to be within the delivery of the short response
questions. With assuming this is because of a lack of motivation for the
students to explain their answers, this ultimately left most of them with half
credit. With the poor results from the short response questions, those
responses lead us to cover the content in our instructional video to deepen
their understanding of the topic so they would be able to explain them more
thoroughly.
Data analysis of all results for the whole group and individuals
Change in student learning, both as a group and as individuals
(include examples of student work if appropriate)
So as a whole, you can see that there was some positive change in student
learning. The student’s individual performance on the other hand was not as
clear-cut and simple as shown in figure 5.
As you can see in figure 5, some students improved from pre-test to post-
test such as students 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 10. However, there are some
student who did not improve from the pre-test to the post test. These
students included 5, 6, 9, and 11. These students did not show an increase
in learning, but a decrease. Again, there are many factors that could play
29
into this poor grade on the post-test. Perhaps these students have test
anxiety. For example, Students 5 and 9 both got perfect scores of 54 points
on the pre-test. This means they even got the extra credit bonus points as
well. With this fact in mind, it is clear they must have known the content to
get that good of a grade on the pre-test, so they should have done just as
well on the post-test. These students could have been nervous because they
assumed the post test was more important to their grade, so this caused
them to freeze up when taking the post test and over think the questions.
Students could have also felt rushed at the end of class causing them to
guess on some of the answers after a quick glance of the question. There
was also a student who go the exact same grade on the post-test as they
did on the pre-test. This was student 12. This was actually our lowest
scoring student in the class on both tests. This is an especially special case,
and something that must be taken note of for the next unit. There was no
student learning. As a teacher, this should be thought of in the back of your
head for the next unit, to make sure to try to involve the student more in
class participation. Perhaps call on the student when checking for
understanding questions are being used, or even keep a close eye on this
student to make sure they are paying attention during class, so you know
they are understanding the lesson content.
