Measuring Psychomotor Skills
Psychomotor Domain
emphasized in school settings includes:
skill-related physical fitness development of movement
competence
Stages of Movement Competencies body management fundamental skills
locomotor non-locomotor manipulative
specialized skills higher skill attainment
Considerations for Testing Encourage maximum effort. Get to know each student. Provide effective demonstrations. Avoid potentially embarrassing
situations. Test in a nonthreatening environment. Practice or simulate testing conditions. Recognize contraindicated activities.
Uses of Psychomotor Tests Provide valid measurements. Classify students. Include item as a part of a more
comprehensive set of tests. Assess performance to predict
potential in particular activities. Motivate students to higher levels of
skills performance.
Uses of Psychomotor Tests (continued)
Determine student achievement and grades.
Developing class profiles. Assess instructional effectiveness in a
specific unit of instruction. Diagnose motor deficiencies. Supplement and enrich class instruction. Explain the physical education program
to various constituencies.
Skill-Related Dimension agility balance coordination power speed reaction time
Measuring Agility zig zag runs side-stepping obstacle runs shuttle runs
Measuring Balance static balance – ability to maintain
equilibrium in a stationary position stork stand
dynamic balance – ability to move through space in a steady and stable manner balance beam walk
Measuring Coordination
coordination – harmoniously integrate multiple gross motor skills into a smooth movement pattern Body Coordination Test Alternative assessments are often
used.
