Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the assessment practices of a population of secondary school PE teachers (Year Levels 7-10)
2. To critically examine assessment practice
3. To explore the potential use of an assessment framework – Move, Choose, Play
The session provides an overview of David’s recent publications that investigated the assessment practices of Victorian secondary school PE teachers in the context of invasion games and sports at Year Levels 7-10. The session will focus on the findings and recommendations from his mixed methods study, and applications of his conceptual assessment framework – Move, Choose, Play.
