Abstract
Background and Objectives: The present study aims investigating assessment, measurement, and evaluation methods in physical education teaching. This study systematically reviews existing research and studies in order to classify findings, identify research gaps, and propose strategies in order to improve assessment and evaluation in physical education teaching.
Methods: Using the PRISMA guidelines, 98 articles were found from various Persian and English databases. By reviewing their abstracts, 36 studies were selected for the systematic review. According to conducted review, various factors influencing assessment and evaluation in physical education teaching were identified, including school facilities and equipment, appropriate educational content to students' developmental characteristics, teachers' assessment literacy, the type of physical activities and sports skills, the type of schools, and the implementation conditions of evaluations in schools. It was also found that the overall goal of evaluation in most schools is grading and its impact on students' overall GPA. Conclusion: The dominant approach to evaluations is traditional and outdated. The tools used for assessment and evaluation mostly include checklists, movement observation, self-assessments, oral questions, and portfolios. Hence, it is recommended that more attention be paid to the role of widely used and effective assessment and evaluation methods in physical education teaching in schools, and that educational planners create a suitable platform for this important matter.
