description This article presents a study of three different evaluation methods for one of the most frequently evaluated skills in physical education: straddle vault over the buck. The sample of measured subjects included 193 13-year-old boys, whose video-recorded performances were evaluated by three evaluators. We analysed the differences in the reliability, objectivity and time efficiency of three different evaluation methods. The calculation of Cronbach’s alpha coefficients and analysis of the variance has been used. The analysis of reliability revealed that the combined evaluation method (alpha: 0.928) was the most reliable, the holistic method was less reliable (alpha: 0.879), and the least reliable was the analytical evaluation method (alpha: 0.833). The analysis of objectivity showed that the analytical evaluation method was the most objective (alpha: 0.854), the combined method was less objective (alpha: 0.791), and that the holistic evaluation methods were the least objective method (alpha: 0.778). The analysis of time efficiency revealed that the least time had been spent in the holistic evaluation method and much more in analytical and combined evaluation method. Analysis of the three evaluators, using three different evaluation methods showed no statistically significant differences (p=0.638) between the holistic and combined evaluation method. In contrast, statistically significant differences have been found between the holistic and analytical method (p=0.000) and combined and analytical method (p=0.000). According to the analysis, we can conclude that all three evaluation methods are appropriate for the evaluation of pupils’ knowledge in physical education.
