Document Summary

Sept 10 intro to measurement and evaluation continued: to infer means to reach a conclusion based on facts or reasoning. For example, we could guess on a quiz and get them all right that isn"t necessarily truthful. A phys ed teacher records the number of sit-ups a 12 year old girl completes in one minute. The teacher then compares the score to all sit up scores recorded at the school for female 12 year-olds over the past 10 years. Task: differentiate between the test, measurement, and evaluation characteristics in this activity. The variable/construct being measured is core strength (because sit ups are an indicator of ones core strength) We have to make sure the protocols of the tests are constant. If we defined core strength as abs and hip flexors, it would affect our test protocol (ex. Holding the feet when doing the sit ups)
