Defining, acquiring and transacting cultural capital through assessment in physical education

Abstract: Assessment is a powerful message system in education, but one which has not received sufficient research and critical or theoretical attention in the field of physical education. Drawing on the physical education and health (PEH) assessment experiences of 16-year-old students in the Swedish education system, the focus in this paper is on what students learn about the purpose, practice and possible consequences of summative assessment. By studying their beliefs about grades and perceptions of the criteria for r… Show more

“…Consequently, those being slim, physically mature, talented at ball games and able to exhibit male-associated attributes continued to occupy the most significant positions in the field. These students were given a greater opportunity to successfully display sporting tech-niques (Hay and Macdonald, 2010b;Koca et al, 2009;Redelius and Hay, 2009;Svennberg, 2017). Nevertheless, a divergent reality was experienced by peers whose access to capital was restricted due to the impossibility to meet the demands of the field.…”

“…Further, student views of expected outcomes of physical education, and the knowledge produced through participation in physical education (Quennerstedt, 2013), can be quite different from learning outcomes stated in the official curriculum. The lack of alignment and the connected problems for validity and equality in assessments, most often with a reference to Bernstein's (1975) three message systems (curriculum, pedagogy and assessment), is well documented in physical education (Annerstedt & Larsson, 2010;Hay & Macdonald, 2008;Redelius, Fagrell, & Larsson, 2009;Redelius & Hay, 2009). Conscious that the question of validity and the AfL strategies employed are dependent of both the actual curriculum, and the wider political, social and cultural contexts, the next section provides a brief presentation of educational assessment and physical education in Norway in a bid to set the context of the study.…”

“…In this context, coach educators can create awareness of innovative and appropriate use of ICT and act as exemplars for coaches by modelling its application. However, a significant recommendation is that the TST assessment tool is not a stand-alone instrument; it should be complemented by clear feedback and a well-structured remediation/development program (Redelius & Hay, 2009). It can be argued that using an existing set of coaching competences provided an appropriate measure of validity for the TST instrument.…”
