| Pedagogy Symposium—High School PE Program Assessment: Two Years of Student Data |
| The purpose of this symposium is to describe the results of an ongoing high stakes statewide assessment effort of high school physical education programs using student performance data. High school physical education programs in South Carolina are assessed on four performance indicators (PIs), adapted from the seven national standards (NASPE, 1995), to be achievable in a one-year mandate. PI-1 represents movement competence (50% of a program grade), PI-2 represents knowledge of fitness (20%), PI-3 represents outside activity (10%), and PI-4 represents performance on FITNESSGRAM (20%). In year one (AY 2000-02), 100% of the 61 schools scheduled (approximately 1/3 of the high schools in the state), submitted data for assessment. In year two (AY 2002-03), 83% of the 60 schools scheduled, submitted data. In this symposium, the rationale for selection of each of the performance indicators, the validity of the assessment strategy and the results of two years of assessment will be presented, along with comparisons across years, a discussion of future research directions and issues in this approach to assessment and program improvement. Following the presentations of data, a discussant, Lawrence Locke, Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, will respond to the data and issues surrounding the use of a high stakes approach for program assessment and improvement. The insights available from these data-based and theoretical presentations will be valuable as professionals from around the country address issues of program quality in their own states. |
