Friday February 17th, destination: Elementary School 8:05am. In this reflection, I will be concentrating on the assessment of student learning. Assessment involves collecting and using information about student learning. Research has demonstrated that students learn best when the educational process is purposeful, integrated, and collaborative. In all cases, physical education teachers have learning goals for the students. These goals are put into place so that students know what they are trying to achieve in the certain topic being taught. In the class I observed, I was not able to actually see a written assessment, but I was able to see that students gained knowledge throughout the unit. I could tell that the students gained knowledge throughout the unit because, in the class I observed they were now applying all the skills they learned in volleyball to a full 6 vs 6 game. All students knew when to correctly use the set when the ball was going to fly above their head. Also, the students knew to use the bump when the ball was coming towards them below the waist. Another visual assessment that I noticed when observing was that the students correctly knew how to rotate positions. This was a new idea for them that day and by the end of the lesson, students were able to rotate correctly on their own. Overall, their was definitely learning occurring in the classroom and it was great to see it take place!
