a process that involves measurement & evaluation
measurement
the collection of information on which a decision is based
evaluation
process of decision making regarding the
value or worth of collected information
-overall judgement based on the assessments that have been collected through measurement
norm-referenced standards
hierarchal ordering of individuals
-compare individuals to others
-percentile norms for pass fail
-quantitative evaluations designed to compare people to others of similar gender, age, socioeconomic status, etc
criterion-referenced standards
degree to which an individual achieves a specified level of development, motor performance, or physical status
-typically 50th percentile
-based on norm data and expert judgement
-people are compared to criterion & not other individuals
-most national fitness tests use criterion
–rockport
product-oriented assesment
-performance OUTCOME
-quantitative data: distance, feet, inches, and time: seconds
process-oriented assessment
