STUDENTS‘ ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR THE COMPONENT EVALUATION FROM OTHER PARTICIPATIONS

ABSTRACT By implementing the new system of physical ability assessment of students, the development and publication of books, dissertations, and scientific articles by some authors related to the assessment of sport-technical skills in a particular sport, the last of the three components of the evaluation of physical education and sport somehow remained in the background, while the importance of it in the formation of the grade in percentage is the same as that for the assessment of physical ability-25%. This report is concerned with this component: assessment of other participants, as we have formulated 5 criteria and indicators with a maximum of five points that students can receive for each one. We equate each point to 1%, i.e. 25% in total for the 5 criteria, which are one part of the three-component system for forming the grade. We approbated them in a natural practical environment, with 245 students from two schools participating in the study. The surveyed students were from grades from all three educational stages. At the beginning of the school year, the teachers were introduced to the developed criteria, and during the first school term, they expertly monitored the students‘ performance. At the end of the school term, when forming a termly assessment, pupils were assessed based on the criteria developed. Analyzing the results obtained for the criteria related to class work, activity, effort, and willingness during the lesson, we could observe that motivation to participate in class, willingness, and effort were shown by the classes of the primary stage. With each grade, especially in the high school stage, this desire and motivation, unfortunately, decreases, with most of them not showing the necessary activity in the lesson. Results for all criteria are presented in tabular and percentage terms, with specific implications for practice. The criteria outlined would make the assessment more objective and set and deserved. They will motivate students to exert more effort, be more active, participate in competitions and wear appropriate sports clothing in class.
