separating PL as a unique, but related, construct, especially given the PL positioning by UNESCO to reform physical education teaching and assessment practices ( McLennan & Thompson, 2015 ). Explaining the pedagogical reform agenda of PL in physical education, therefore, requires close examination of
An Evaluation of a College Exercise Leader Program: Using Exercise Science Students as Advocates for Behavior Modification
Shelley Nicole Armstrong, Daniel R. Henderson, Brian M. Williams, and Michelle M. Burcin
Background:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a college’s exercise leadership program, which was developed to help students, faculty and staff implement behavior changes necessary to begin and maintain a comprehensive exercise program.
Methods:
From 2006–2011, a total 66 subjects were recruited and each was assigned to a student exercise leader. Based on comprehensive baseline assessments, each student designed an individualized exercise program for his/her subject. At program completion, the subjects were reassessed.
Results:
Paired t tests were used to find significant statistical changes (P < .05) among the fitness components. Significant changes as a function of the 6-week exercise program were observed in body weight, body fat percentage, waist circumference, 1-mile walk time, sit-ups, push-ups, and trunk flexion.
Conclusions:
Getting started is the most difficult step, but beginning an exercise program has immediate benefits. Institutions of higher education are addressing issues of wellness as a means for increasing graduation, retention, and productivity rates among their campus constituents. These efforts are part of a collaborative effort initiated by the American College Health Association known as Healthy Campus 2020. The findings from this study have a direct impact on programmatic efforts.
The Influence of Socialization Factors on Physical Educators’ Conceptions of Assessment and Perceived Quality of Assessment
Jenna R. Starck, K. Andrew R. Richards, Michael A. Lawson, and Oleg A. Sinelnikov
Although scholars have argued that assessment is an integral component of the teaching–learning process and one of the four essential components of physical education ( National Association for Sport and Physical Education, 2009 ), assessment in physical education is still “far from being regular

Preservice Teachers’ Assessment Literacy Within Models-Based Practice

Assessment in physical education (PE) has changed over the years toward the use of integrated and alternative assessment practices captured under the broad category of assessment for learning ( López-Pastor et al., 2013 ). While recognized as a process which collects and interprets information on

In order to provide strong justification that students are reaching program goals and objectives, competency in assessment, particularly of motor skills, is paramount for PE teachers ( Horvat, Kelly, Block, & Croce, 2018 ), and may be used as advocacy for quality PE ( Rink, 2014

contention has been PL assessment. For instance, Chen ( 2020 ), in a commentary article, argued that measurement is founded on an opposing epistemological perspective to PL’s philosophical tenets, and dissecting the holistic concept that is PL into smaller pieces for measurement purposes goes against the
