Today, we will explore the aims of assessment in MYP Physical and Health Education. Can anyone tell me why assessment is important in our subject?
I think it's important to measure how well we are doing in class.
That's right! Assessment helps us understand our performance, but it also supports personal growth, critical thinking, and goal-setting. It’s not just about grades; it's about becoming better at what we do.
How does it help with goal-setting?
Great question! By assessing our strengths and weaknesses, we can set realistic and achievable goals for our physical activity. We call this a formative approach, which is ongoing.
So, does that mean feedback is also important?
Absolutely! Feedback is crucial as it guides our improvement. We aim to provide consistent and meaningful feedback to help you grow.
Can you summarize what we’ve learned about assessment aims?
Sure! Assessment aims to engage you in physical activity, help set personal goals, develop knowledge of well-being, promote reflection, and give regular feedback for improvement.

Let's discuss the assessment criteria in MYP PHE. There are four main criteria. Who can name one of them?
Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding?
Correct! Criterion A focuses on your theoretical knowledge about physical fitness and health. Can someone give me an example of what this might include?
It could be about human anatomy or fitness principles?
Exactly! Now, who wants to tackle Criterion B?
That’s Planning for Performance, right? It’s about setting goals and doing fitness plans?
Great job! In Criterion B, you design and justify your fitness plans. How about Criterion C?
That’s applying and performing in activities!
Perfect! This assesses your practical skills. Finally, who can tell me about Criterion D?
Reflecting and Improving Performance! It's about looking back on what we did.
Exactly. You reflect on your strengths and areas for improvement. Together, these criteria provide a holistic assessment of your capabilities!

Now, let's move on to the types of assessments we use in MYP PHE. Can anyone list some examples?
I think we have fitness logs?
Exactly! Fitness logs are one type. We also have individual and group projects. What else?
Peer assessments and self-assessments help too.
Right! These assessments help you reflect on your own abilities and those of your peers, fostering a culture of collaboration. Why do you think we integrate both theory and practice in these assessments?
To see how what we learn applies in real life!
Spot on! Now, let’s wrap up with a summary. We covered different types of assessments including logs, skill demonstrations, and peer work, all aimed at integrating your theoretical knowledge with practical skills.

This section discusses the comprehensive assessment strategies in MYP Grade 10 Physical and Health Education. It emphasizes the development of student engagement, goal-setting, reflection, and self-assessment through various assessment criteria and task types, facilitating a balanced understanding between theoretical knowledge and real-life application.
Assessment in MYP Grade 10 Physical and Health Education is a crucial part of student learning, emphasizing holistic evaluation rather than mere scoring. It aims to engage students actively in their physical and health education journey, encouraging them to set personal goals while developing their knowledge about physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Through these assessment practices, students are not only measured in terms of their academic performance but also encouraged to take ownership of their health and education, promoting lifelong wellness habits.

Assessment in MYP Grade 10 Physical and Health Education is comprehensive, balanced, and student-centered.
The assessment in MYP PHE for Grade 10 is designed to consider every aspect of a student's learning journey. It balances both theoretical knowledge and practical application, meaning that students not only learn facts but also how to apply them in real-life situations. Additionally, it emphasizes that the student is at the center of the learning process, ensuring that their personal growth is a priority.
Imagine a basketball player learning not just the rules of the game (theoretical knowledge) but also practicing their shots, dribbles, and teamwork (practical application). In MYP PHE, students are like that player, learning both the 'how' and 'why' behind health and physical education.

It combines theoretical knowledge with practical application and emphasizes reflective practice.
Reflective practice means that students are encouraged to think about their learning experiences. This can involve analyzing what went well, what didn't, and how they can improve in the future. By reflecting on their experiences, students can identify personal strengths and areas that need more work, which helps them take charge of their learning.
Think about a student preparing for a big exam. After studying, they take a test and then review their answers to understand mistakes. This process of reviewing and thinking about their answers is essentially reflective practice, where they learn not just the material but also how to approach studying better next time.

By focusing on the four assessment criteria—Knowing and Understanding, Planning for Performance, Applying and Performing, and Reflecting and Improving Performance—students gain a deep understanding of their own health, develop physical competence, and foster lifelong habits of well-being.
The four assessment criteria guide the student's learning and growth. 'Knowing and Understanding' pertains to the knowledge of health principles. 'Planning for Performance' focuses on goal setting and strategizing regarding physical activities. 'Applying and Performing' handles the execution of learned skills in real-world contexts. Lastly, 'Reflecting and Improving Performance' fosters self-assessment and encourages students to think about their development over time. Together, these criteria support a holistic approach to education.
Imagine learning to ride a bicycle. You first need to know the rules (Knowing and Understanding), then plan a route and set a practice goal (Planning for Performance). As you ride, you practice your balance and control (Applying and Performing). Finally, after your ride, you think about what you did well and what you can improve next time (Reflecting and Improving Performance). This process resembles how students learn and grow in MYP PHE.

Through authentic assessment tasks and meaningful feedback, students become more aware, responsible, and active participants in their own development.
Authentic assessment tasks mean that the activities students engage in during assessments are relevant to real-life scenarios. Coupled with meaningful feedback, which is specific and constructive, this enables students to understand their progress and how to enhance their skills further. This feedback-centered approach allows students to take a proactive role in their learning process.
Consider an artist who creates a painting and receives feedback from peers and mentors. If the feedback is specific about color use and composition, the artist can refine their technique in future works. Similarly, in MYP PHE, students receive precise feedback on their performance, helping them improve their skills and understanding continuously.
