(Please check the box showing the picture that shows correct form)

Expectations and Results of Cognitve Assessment

During the flag football unit, the intentions of the assessment was to

check for understanding that the students knew how to carry the

football correctly when running. At no point was the assessment given to

trick or fool any student. The goal was to have an average of about 90

percent of the students check the correct box.

After every student completed the assessment results showed that 100

percent of the students checked off the correct box about carrying the

football correctly. Due to the fact the main objective was success, the

visuals used to represent the correct form was a running back from

Oregon and the incorrect picture was a cartoon picture with the ball in

the wrong possession. Students had very little questions during this

assignment.

Expectations and Results of Affective Assessment

The affective assessment was designed to check the students’ understanding of equipment management and the safety rules of the class. The goal was to have students complete two out of the three questions correctly on the assessment given at the introduction of class. The assessment was given a day later so students had a period of time to learn, comprehend, and apply the material on a piece of paper. Throughout the unit, these rules and routines have been enforced every day, multiple times a class. So this assignment should have been pretty easy for most students, as long as they attended school that week and used some common sense. Again, for this assessment, it was not made to trick any student.

The results of the assessments were extremely positive and above expectations. After recording each grade, 90 percent of the students recorded scores of 100 percent on the assessment. Ten percent of students had scores with two of the three questions answered correctly which was very rewarding as a teacher because results showed you did your job teaching effectively. What I was surprised about based on observations and countless incidents of reinforcements, was that students answered the question about having your partner ready before throwing the ball at them, correctly. From what I’ve learned is that students know more than what they say out loud around their classmates.
