PHE PDIG 2023-2024: Student Self-Evaluation Project
This project explored the idea of using google forms as a means to help students understand their own level of knowledge in physical education by re addressing certain key concepts learned throughout different units.
This project allows students to be aware of their learning through digital technologies by providing immediate feedback which gives students a sense of accountability and agency as they are learning their physical education competencies, hence increasing overall motivation and engagement within the program.
