Today, we're going to explore the formative assessments that you will be engaging with this year. Can anyone tell me what formative assessments are?
Are they the assessments that happen during the learning process?
Exactly! Formative assessments help monitor your progress and understanding as you learn. For example, you will keep fitness logs and personal health journals. Has anyone started thinking about what you might include in your health journal?
I think I could write about my workout routines and how I felt after each session.
Great idea! Keeping track of your feelings and experiences can really help you reflect on your progress. We also do sports skill demonstrations. Can anyone tell me how we might analyze our skills?
We could record our performances on video and then watch it to see what we need to improve.
Spot on! Video analysis is a powerful tool to understand and enhance your skills.
What about group fitness planning projects? How will that work?
In those projects, you'll collaborate to develop fitness plans, applying what you’ve learned. It's a combination of both teamwork and individual effort. Let’s summarize today: formative assessments support your learning through various methods like logs, demonstrations, and projects.
Summative Assessments

Now moving on to summative assessments. These take place at the end of a learning unit to evaluate what you've learned. Who can name some examples of summative assessments we use in PHE?
Health presentations and research reports?
Correct! These assessments allow you to dive deep into health topics and showcase your understanding. What do you think is the value of doing a health presentation?
It helps us to learn how to explain things clearly and helps our peers learn too!
Exactly! Peer assessments are also essential. They encourage you to reflect on your performance and that of your classmates. How does receiving feedback from peers help you?
It shows us different perspectives on our skills!
Right! And when we play games or analyze tactics, we put theory into practice. Let’s recap: summative assessments help evaluate your understanding through presentations, peer feedback, and practical gameplay.

Quick Overview
Standard
In Grade 10 MYP Physical and Health Education, students undertake various formative and summative assessments such as fitness logs, skill demonstrations, and peer evaluations. These assessments are crucial for measuring a comprehensive understanding of physical and health education while fostering critical reflection and personal development.

Types of Assessments in MYP PHE
Assessment plays a crucial role in the MYP PHE curriculum, particularly in Grade 10. Various types of assessments are employed to evaluate how well students understand and apply their knowledge in practical and theoretical contexts.
Formative Assessments are ongoing evaluations that help monitor student progress and understanding. They include:
- Fitness logs and personal health journals: These allow students to track their fitness journey and health choices over time.
- Sports skill demonstrations and video analysis: This helps students assess their physical skills and techniques critically.
- Group and individual fitness planning projects: Students work collaboratively or independently to develop fitness plans, showcasing their understanding of health concepts.
Summative Assessments measure student learning at the end of an instructional unit. They encompass:
- Health presentations and research reports: These provide students an opportunity to present findings on health topics.
- Peer and self-assessments: Encouraging reflection and evaluation from both self and others promotes deeper learning.
- Practical gameplay and tactical analysis: Students participate in sports or activities where they can apply their skills in real-life scenarios.
Overall, assessments in MYP PHE not only gauge knowledge but also encourage critical thinking and personal responsibility in health and fitness.

In Grade 10 MYP PHE, students engage in a variety of formative (ongoing) and summative (final) assessments, such as:
Detailed Explanation
This chunk introduces the two main categories of assessments used in Grade 10 MYP PHE: formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments are ongoing evaluations that occur throughout the learning process, allowing students to understand and improve their skills continuously. Summative assessments, on the other hand, occur at the end of a learning unit and are used to evaluate overall student learning and achievement against specific benchmarks.
Examples & Analogies
Think of formative assessments as a coach observing and providing feedback during practice sessions, helping athletes improve gradually. In contrast, summative assessments are like a championship game where the performance at the end is evaluated to determine the success of the training over time.

• Fitness logs and personal health journals
• Sports skill demonstration and video analysis
• Group and individual fitness planning projects
• Health presentations and research reports
• Peer and self-assessments
• Practical game play and tactical analysis
Detailed Explanation
This chunk lists specific examples of assessments that students may participate in during the course. Fitness logs and personal health journals encourage self-reflection and tracking of progress. Sports skill demonstrations and video analysis allow students to showcase their practical skills while receiving constructive feedback. Group and individual fitness planning projects enhance collaboration and personal goal setting. Health presentations and research reports develop research and communication skills. Finally, peer and self-assessments promote reflective learning and understanding of personal strengths and areas for improvement.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a student maintaining a fitness log similar to a diary where they jot down daily workouts and feelings about their health journey. When they present a health project, it’s akin to a student giving a report in class, but in this case, it's about their physical health and fitness strategies.
Integration of Theory and Practice

These assessments often integrate theory and practice, allowing students to showcase multiple skills and learning outcomes.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk emphasizes the importance of integrating both theory and practice in the assessment process. By doing so, assessments not only measure what students know theoretically but also how they can apply that knowledge in real-life scenarios. This integration helps students see the relevance of theoretical concepts in practical situations, reinforcing their learning.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a student who learns about the rules of a sport in class (the theory) and then plays the sport in a game (the practice). This dual approach helps them not only understand the game but also improve their skills on the field.

📖 Fascinating Stories
-
Imagine you're an athlete preparing for the big game. All year, you keep a journal of your workouts and strategies. After every match, you discuss your performance with teammates and review strategies to improve. That’s formative. Once the season ends, you present what you’ve learned and the skills you've gained—the summative assessment.
