Considerations for Testing Provide encouragement and incentive. Know your students. Perform good demonstrations. Avoid embarrassing situations. Create a nonthreatening environment. Experience the test (teachers). Recognize contraindicated activities.
Uses of Psychomotor Tests Provides valid measurement. Classifies students into groups. Obtain a composite profile. Assess performance and potential. Motivate students to improve. Determine achievement and
grades.
Uses of Psychomotor Tests Develop class profiles. Measure student outcomes of a unit. Diagnose deficiencies. Provide educational experience. Results are used to educate the P.E.
program to various constituencies (parents, administration, etc.)
Measuring Agility Zig zag runs Side-stepping Obstacle runs Shuttle runs
Measuring Balance Static balance – ability to maintain
equilibrium in a stationary position Dynamic balance – ability to move
through space in a steady and stable manner
