| Summary: | Background and Study Aim. The use of objective means and criteria for evaluating the educational achievements of students is crucial to improve the quality of education. Movement tests have been considered as a tool to assess the physical fitness of students in physical education classes. However, there are challenges in implementing these tests effectively. This article aims to address the problem of implementing movement tests in physical education classes in general educational institutions.
Methodology. The study utilized publications from the Vernadskyi National Library and the Google search system. Keywords were used for the search in accordance with the topic of the study. A total of 27 sources were selected for analysis.
Results. The study found that the effective implementation of movement tests in physical education classes requires an in-depth medical examination of students, consideration of each student's reaction level to physical loads, and the use of motor tests solely for evaluation purposes. The study also highlighted that motor tests can help solve complex pedagogical tasks and should meet criteria such as availability, indifference, reliability, capacity, and informativeness.
Conclusions. The study concludes that joint activity between teachers and students is essential for increasing the level of physical fitness. Furthermore, teachers must exercise systematic control of students' health status and their reaction to physical exertion in class. The results of this study can provide insights to educators and policymakers in designing effective physical education programs that include movement tests as an assessment tool. |
