Test, Measurement and Evaluation in Human Performance

PEDU-6217     Measurement Evaluation in Human Performance                            3 (3+0)

This course is designed to understand the fundamental and functional statistical tests, assessments, techniques, and evaluation concepts in the psychomotor, cognitive and affective domains; activities include collection and computer analysis of data in the area of Physical Education at various levels. It also provides the range of tests and techniques for testing Physical fitness, motor abilities and specific sports skills. e.g. (Reaction time, Endurance, Muscular Strength, Flexibility, Balance, Power, Speed, Agility, Coordination, Test criteria, Methods of grading  etc.) This course is intended to address the current practices in conducting data-based measurement and evaluation processes. Specifically, this course will examine statistical techniques necessary for manipulation and interpretation of various performance data. Descriptive statistics will be introduced and used for decision-making. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental aspects of the measurement, analytic, and evaluative process for measuring Human Performance. The course includes both theoretical and practical applications. The final section will explore the validity, reliability, and objectivity evidence for written tests and tests of physical fitness and physical activity.
