Assessment task 1: Teaching Stimulus Presentation

This task has 2 parts:

Part 1: Teaching Stimulus/Resource (20%)

In small groups students will develop a creative and engaging teaching stimulus (resource) (e.g. brochure, booklet, video clip, webpage, resource kit, podcast) that aligns with the content of an allocated area of the PASS syllabus. The stimulus/resource must include an explicit teaching strategy linked to either literacy or numeracy.

The resource should foster at least 50 minutes of learning for students in a stage 5 context.

Resources must be original (ie contain content and features created by the group), but a range of other resources can be utilised to create the original resource. Referencing should be used where needed. 

The content area will be allocated in Week 1.

Part 2: Presentation (15%)

Students will then present their teaching stimulus/resource and a justification as to how and why the resource would add value to student learning in the stage 5 classroom. The presentation should also explain how the stimulus/resource could be used to engage students developing either literacy or numeracy skills. In presenting the resource students MUST demonstrate deep content knowledge of their syllabus area. 

In presenting, students should allow their peers to engage with the resource (or parts of).

Assessment task 2: Analysis of Human Movement Task 

During the first 5 weeks, students will explore anatomical, physiological and biomechanical concepts related to human movement. In this assessment, students will be required to apply this knowledge in observing and analysing various movement skills and performances.

The students will view a number of short video clips and/or still pictures showing movement and skill execution. Students will be required to respond to questions in relation to biomechanical, anatomical and physiological principles evident within the clips/pictures. In doing so, students will be assessed on their observation skills, their ability to apply the concepts learnt and, on their ability, to provide corrective feedback to help develop movement performance and improve skills.

The in class task will be open book and students are allowed to have access to class notes.

Assessment criteria:

Students will be assessed according to their ability to:

• observe movement and offer corrective feedback 
• apply biomechanical concepts to movement observation 

Assessment task 3: In Class Test

This in class test will contain a range of multiple choice, short and extended response questions based around the content delivered in lectures and tutorials throughout the 11 weeks. The content examined in the Week 8 Movement Analysis task will NOT be re-examined in this exam. 

Assessment criteria:

Students will be assessed according to their ability to:

• demonstrate knowledge of course content
• apply their knowledge to specific problems
• analyse problems or scenarios and clearly articulate their response
