Initial basketball survey
Initial Survey
The initial survey sets up the information to gather from the students in order to create the teams. Questions in the survey focus on skills that will be used in the unit. Ability in playing basketball or related games like netball are considered as well as technology skills and attitude to PE. The survey sets up an assessment-as-learning process.
Assessment as learning focuses on a more self-assessment account of learning where students are given the opportunity to collect data on their progress that they can then synthesize to understand how they are learning.
Mid and End of the unit survey
Mid and End of unit survey
The survey is used twice to assess students in their respective roles in the team. The first time the survey is used students become more aware of the role based on self-assessing themselves. In addition the students can add ideas about the role.
The second time students complete the survey they can self-assess progress in the role plus consider additional ideas added in the survey by peers doing the same role. Key in the self-assessment process is to use the survey as a form of assessment-as-learning process to gather evidence of developing personal and social responsibility for on and others learning.
Teacher skill diagnostic assessment
Teacher Skill assessment of students
The "teacher skill diagnostic" assessment chart can be used by the teacher to assess student ability at different stages of the unit. Key is to assess 4 or 5 classes each class to get a general overview of students ability. The chart is for the teacher reference rather than for students to see. Checklist enables the teacher to map students progress over time and keep a record of what the students need to work on to improve. Depending on the grading system used by the PE department scores on the chart could be used to comment on each student's progress or could be converted into a grade. However, the goal would be to assess student progress as much as student actual performance ability
Hot Shot
Student recording of progress wth set-shot
The hot shot challenge is used over the term to encourage students to practice taking set shots. Hot shot is recorded fro 5 free throws taken from outside the key. A person has to witness the sequence of 5 shots and can assist with rebounding the ball to their partner.
Rules of challenge: A student scores a point for team when score 7 or more points with 5 free throws in a row in one day.
● Up until DATE score 1 point if hit white box and 2 if score through net
● Score a point for completing 5 free throws in a row in one day outside of class - witnessed.
● Score team experience point if beat previous best score.
GPAI assessment with the ball
Peer Assessment of attacking players' off-the-ball movements
The game performance assessment instrument (GPAI) developed by Griffin, Mitchell and Oslen (2006) is used as a way of assessing how students' off-the-ball movements allow them to contribute to game play. Key idea with this type of assessment is to value how student's ability to get open to receive a pass enables the team to keep possession and to invade the opponent's territory. The BASE ready position between each play of the ball sets of the player to move quickly into the appropriate space to receive a pass either in an attacking area near the basket, defensive behind the ball to create time or lateral to receive in an open lane.

GPAI assessment defence
Peer Assessment of defensive off-the-ball movements
The game performance assessment instrument (GPAI) can also be used to assess off-the-ball movement in defense when the team does not have the ball. In the example here the focus is first on assessing player's ability to mark an opponent. Key is to assess BASE position followed by marking a player as a pass is made. On the next page the observer assesses BASE and DECISION movement in relation to doing MARK, GUARD or COVER as a ball is player. Key again in the process is getting the observer to see these movements as well as the player knowing that have to decide which action to do.
