The Use of a Rating Scale as a Formative and Shared Assessment Tool in Physical Education

Abstract

This chapter presents the analysis of a formative and shared assessment experience in the subject of physical education in secondary education in a high school in Spain. In the assessment process, an assessment scale has been used as an assessment instrument, by means of which students have self-assessed themselves, have been co-assessed by their peers and have received a hetero- assessment from the teacher based on the criteria previously established in the instrument. After the implementation of this experience, a study was carried out on the students' perception of the formative and shared assessment process and the use of the evaluation scale. A discussion group was held, and the teachers' and students' diaries were analyzed. The results show a feeling of motivation and commitment in the students to the task and the group thanks to the feeling of being part of the process through the assessment.
