MYP PHE assessment is based on four equally weighted criteria, each scored out of 8. Each criterion addresses a key component of student development in PHE:
Detailed Explanation
In Grade 10 Physical and Health Education (PHE), student assessment revolves around four main criteria. Each of these criteria is just as important as the others and contributes equally to the overall assessment. Each criterion can earn a maximum score of 8 points, allowing for a total possible score of 32 points. This system ensures that students are evaluated in multiple dimensions of their learning and development, rather than being reliant on a single test or project.
Examples & Analogies
Think of these criteria like the various categories in a cooking competition. Just like judges evaluate dishes based on taste, presentation, originality, and technique, students in PHE are assessed across different areas that reflect their overall knowledge and skills.
Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding

Chapter Content
Focuses on theoretical knowledge related to:
- Principles of physical fitness
- Human anatomy and physiology
- Health and wellness topics
- Rules, tactics, and strategies of games and sports
Students are assessed on their ability to:
- Use physical and health education terminology
- Demonstrate understanding through explanations and examples
- Apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations
Detailed Explanation
Criterion A measures a student's understanding of important concepts in PHE. This includes knowledge about how the body works, concepts of fitness, and the strategies required to excel in games. Students will be expected to use the correct terms related to physical and health education, explain these topics clearly, and show how they can apply this theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, such as when incorporating fitness principles into their workouts.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you have a friend who wants to start exercising. If you understand the principles of physical fitness, you can explain why warm-ups are important or how certain exercises benefit different muscles in the body. This knowledge is similar to being a good tour guide who knows all the historical facts and can clearly explain them to tourists.
