HPHP - Physical Education / Physical Education Teaching Major

Results of Assessment

1999-2000

Following are the results of developing and implementing the Outcomes Assessment Model for the Physical Education Teaching Major, within the Department of Health promotion and Human Performance and the College of Education.

 Completed Tasks:

  1. developed a written mission statement
  2. selection of performance based outcomes
    • NASPE
    • NCATE
  3. faculty identified which standards were being met in their course and to what degree they were being met
  4. faculty were to identify on their course syllabus which course objective was meeting which standard
  5. developed a list of direct and indirect measures being used and selected additional measures to insure a complete representation of student abilities with reference to the nine standards
  6. developed an assessment plan for collecting the data
  7. developed the additional assessment tools needed
    • teaching survey
    • profile
  8. collection of data in the following areas:
    • Senior Seminar Assessment Survey 
    • Portfolio (partial)
    • Student's Self Teaching Evaluations

Student Learning Outcomes Assessed in 1999-2000:

  • Senior Seminar Assessment Survey - Standards 1-6
  • Portfolio - Standards 1-9 (The portfolio was designed and students enrolled in PE 2000 purchased the portfolio.  The portfolio will not be evaluated until the students currently enrolled in PE 2000 are enrolled in PE 3520.)
  • Student Teaching Self Evaluations - Standards 6, 7, 8, 9
  • Professional Program Evaluation - Standards 1-9

The data collected will be used in conjunction with all direct and indirect measures used in each class, as well as, faculty course evaluation.

Faculty Discussion of Outcomes Assessment:

  • Copies of each step of the assessment process were given to the Chair of the Department and to the Dean of the College of Education.
  • Update reports were presented at each faculty meeting.
  • The physical education faculty discussed each individual step of the assessment process.
  • Each individual faculty member selected the portfolio artifacts for their respective classes.
  • Results or information that needed to be addressed with reference to course syllabus, assignments, or curriculum revisions were brought to the physical education program director and a meeting was scheduled.

Implications of Results on the Program:

  • Program improvement
  • Changes in course syllabus
  • Target areas that need to be maintained or changed
  • Changes in course content
  • Revision of student assignments
  • Changes in selected artifacts for the portfolio
  • Greater emphasis on specific outcomes at various times, in various major courses throughout the curriculum
  • Changes in curriculum
  • More emphasis placed on content in specific courses to address particular standard(s)
  • Reduce repetition of information from one course to another
  • A plan for systematic evaluation
  • Program accreditation

Student Learning Outcomes to be Assessed in 2000-2001:

All standards are important and do contribute to the development of physical educators, thus all standards will be evaluated to some degree.  However, not all standards will be developed or evaluated to the same degree.  The six standards that will receive priority during the outcomes assessment process will be:

  • Standard 1 - Content Knowledge

  • Standard 4 - Management and Motivation

  • Standard 5 - Communication

  • Standard 6 - Planning and Instruction

  • Standard 8 - Reflection

  • Standard 9 - Collaboration

Some of the tools will be used on a continuation basis and others will be used independently of other tools each year.

The following are the tools used for the data collection:

  • Profile (development stage)

    • Portfolio

    • Video Analysis

    • Self Evaluation

    • Professional Preparation Evaluation

    • Student Teaching Self Evaluation

    • Student Teaching Evaluation (Department and College)

    • Teaching Survey (first year experience)

All the information gathered from these sources will also be used in conjunction with all direct and indirect measures used in each class, as well as faculty course evaluations.
