Assessment in Physical Education

"Why assess?", "What can I assess?", "How can I assess satisfactorily in physical education (PE)?", these and other questions are examined in this volume, which offers both practical advice and theoretical perspectives relating assessment in PE to assessment in other subjects and in school issues generally. The book has been written over a period in which the interim report of the working party for PE and the statutory orders for PE have been published, Ministers for Education have been changed and the government has been constantly shifting or changing its views on aspects of assessment to do with the National Curriculum.
