Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education and Exercise Science
The ninth edition of Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education and Exercise Science offers students in the various fields of kinesiology a clear and practical guide to best practice for measurement and evaluation in school- and non-school-based physical activity programs. Understanding and applying measurement and evaluation are critical to any activity-based program. This textbook emphasizes the link between theory and practice of measurement and evaluation in activity settings.
This textbook offers a full range of measurement and evaluation topics, such as current trends in measurement and evaluation, program development, basic statistics, alternative assessments, assessment strategies of the three learning domains and health-related fitness, grading, and self-evaluation. This book emphasizes that measurement and evaluation activities should be clearly connected with school and non-school program goals. The assessment strategies in this textbook provide the foundation for evaluating and improving activity-based programs. Without these strategies, no program can achieve and maintain excellence. Thus, measurement and evaluation activities are integral to the development and delivery of quality effective programs.
This textbook is a complete resource for instructors. It is also an essential textbook for any student in a measurement and evaluation class as part of a degree program in physical education, exercise science, or kinesiology. This textbook is also a valuable resource for current practitioners seeking to inform their professional practice. Each chapter features learning aids, such as objectives, key terms, practical applications, and review questions, while an appendix offers in-depth Excel assignments. An instructor manual, lecture slides, and a test bank are included in the supplemental materials.
