Today, we're going to explore the formative assessments that you will be engaging with this year. Can anyone tell me what formative assessments are?
Are they the assessments that happen during the learning process?
Exactly! Formative assessments help monitor your progress and understanding as you learn. For example, you will keep fitness logs and personal health journals. Has anyone started thinking about what you might include in your health journal?
I think I could write about my workout routines and how I felt after each session.
Great idea! Keeping track of your feelings and experiences can really help you reflect on your progress. We also do sports skill demonstrations. Can anyone tell me how we might analyze our skills?
We could record our performances on video and then watch it to see what we need to improve.
Spot on! Video analysis is a powerful tool to understand and enhance your skills.
What about group fitness planning projects? How will that work?
In those projects, you'll collaborate to develop fitness plans, applying what you’ve learned. It's a combination of both teamwork and individual effort. Let’s summarize today: formative assessments support your learning through various methods like logs, demonstrations, and projects.
Now moving on to summative assessments. These take place at the end of a learning unit to evaluate what you've learned. Who can name some examples of summative assessments we use in PHE?
Health presentations and research reports?
Correct! These assessments allow you to dive deep into health topics and showcase your understanding. What do you think is the value of doing a health presentation?
It helps us to learn how to explain things clearly and helps our peers learn too!
Exactly! Peer assessments are also essential. They encourage you to reflect on your performance and that of your classmates. How does receiving feedback from peers help you?
It shows us different perspectives on our skills!
Right! And when we play games or analyze tactics, we put theory into practice. Let’s recap: summative assessments help evaluate your understanding through presentations, peer feedback, and practical gameplay.
Assessments help us learn, both during and at the end; log and plan, skills to lend!
Imagine you're an athlete preparing for the big game. All year, you keep a journal of your workouts and strategies. After every match, you discuss your performance with teammates and review strategies to improve. That’s formative. Once the season ends, you present what you’ve learned and the skills you've gained—the summative assessment.
