Abstract
Much criticism has been directed at the physical educators in most of our public schools regarding their methods of determining pupil marks for participation in physical education classes. This criticism has come from many sources. It has come from physical educators, educators, pupils, and the general public. Bookwalter, a leader in the field of physical education, states:
More frequently than one might suspect, pupil's marks in physical education have been determined the night before marks were to be issued. They were then based upon attendance and the teacher's ability to remember the pupil's conformity to rules. Teachers have been known to issue marks determined while the pupil stood in line awaiting his card. Such marking based upon opinion or prejudice could only by miracle be reliable, valid, or objective. (2, p. 17)
Because of such criticism as quoted above, and the different methods of marking found in many physical education departments, this study was made.
