Question 12

Physical education teachers generally generate their own tools for monitoring student performance.

Question 13

Refining a skill is the same as improving performance.

Question 14

Student attitudes have nothing to do with program assessment.

Question 17

Student logs are NOT supported by classroom teachers even though logs encourage writing.

Question 18

Most students in intermediate grades are incapable of self-evaluation.

Question 19

Performance on physical fitness tests is strongly controlled by genetics, making it difficult for all children to achieve.

Question 20

Grades can vary between teachers and schools.

Question 21

Written tests are often administered in physical education to check the cognitive learning that has accompanied physical skill learning.

Question 22

Grades should communicate the performance of students to parents.

Question 23

Student trust is important when using peer evaluation.

Question 24
