Vurdering i kroppsøving – en stor utfordring! : Hvordan erfarer lærere og elever i ungdomsskolen elevvurdering, og hvilke vurderingskulturer ligger til grunn i vurderingen?
Abstract
The purpose of my study has been to uncover a “potential” dilemma in the assessment
practice in physical education, by the fact that physical education teachers design their "own"
criteria and learning objectives based on their perception of the subject. I have an impression
that the students, on their part, do not know about these assessment criteria and goals. They
don´t know what to learn. In addition, I have looked at how the assessment is done in general
in the subject.
There have been nine semi-structured research interviews with three physical education
teachers and a total of six students to elucidate the purpose and problems of the study. The
analysis and discussion of the results are based on theory of the curriculum, assessment in
general, achievement of goals and criteria, and assessment culture.
Findings show that physical education teachers have a common purpose with their teaching,
but that their assessment practice is done very differently. This is particularly evident in
relation to what is to be considered and how the assessment is taking place. It may seem that
the implementation of VFL has not been successful and that assessment in the subject is still
characterized by a summative assessment. The teachers express that they want a more
concrete and directional curriculum with suggestions and examples related to assessment.
The students are to a small degree familiar with the competence objectives and assessment
criteria in the subject, and uncertain about what they learn in the subject. They are also very
little involved in the assessment of their own work, and in the design of criteria and
characteristics of goal achievement.
