Purpose: This article is based on questions related to the formative assessment of preparatory trainee ship in the professional life of Physical Education teachers. In general, in the first training ...program, the traineeship represents an integral part of training. In this sense, the traineeship offers a vital opportunity for future teacher to gain practical experience in the real environment, given that formative evaluation is a process of collecting evidence from trainees by cooperative teachers to make decisions about their knowledge and skills, to guide their own instructional activities and to control their behavior. Accordingly, this study proposed to explore practices of Tunisians cooperative teachers in relation to the formative assessment. Material: To verify our proposed object, we conducted a research using a questionnaire distributed among 96 cooperative teachers in different educational institutions located in the region of the greater Tunis. During the school year 2015-2016, the questionnaire was the subject of a statistical analysis using frequencies and percentages. Results: The analysis of such data revealed a range of practices about formative estimation among cooperative teachers. In particular, each teacher acknowledged the value of guiding and encouraging student’s self-assessment. So that they could lead their students to assume a share of evaluative activity. Conclusion: Both theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed, and some recommendations are made for future practice.
The objective of the current study was to assess the relative agility T-test as a measure of change of direction speed and establish normative data specifically for children aged 10-11. A sample of ...350 boys and 220 girls within the specified age range, with no medical history of disease, was randomly recruited from various schools. The mean and standard deviation, as well as the range of values, were determined for several variables including age, body mass, height, and BMI for both boys (n=350, age=10.83±0.38 years, body mass=34.42±5.61 kg, height=1.44±0.06 m, BMI=16.59±2.13 kg/m²) and girls (n=220, age=10.79±0.41 years, body mass=34.85±6.36 kg, height=1.44±0.07 m, BMI=16.61±2.15 kg/m²). The T-test, along with the FCMJ and 30mSS tests, were performed at least three times with a three-minute recovery period between trials and a five-minute recovery period between tests. Test-retest reliability of the T-test was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), which yielded values of 0.95 for girls and 0.97 for boys. Significant correlations were observed between the T-test and FCMJ as well as the 30mSS for girls (r=-0.384, p<0.0001 and r=0.416, p<0.0001, respectively) and for boys (r=-0.344, p<0.0001 and r=0.440, p<0.0001, respectively). The study provides percentile values that can be utilized to monitor the physical fitness levels of both girls and boys.
