Abstract

This work analyses the results of an authentic assessment (AA) and transformative assessment (TA) experience anduse of information and communication technology (ICT) in Physical Education (PE) classes in high school. The experienceinvolves the use of the Plickers application, and the participation of the students in the assessment (self-assessment and peerassessment processes). This study was carried out in a high school from Spain, as part of a didactic dance unit, with 38 students(15th years old). The AA and TA task was for small groups of students to create a video tutorial of salsa steps as a final productof a dance teaching unit; were self-assessed and peer-assessed using Plickers. Experience was also evaluated. Results: the useof AA and TA processes in PE in high school based on the use of ICT has been a very positive experience. For the students thevideo tutorial is a good method of learning and assessment and they value positively the peer-assessment and self-assessmentprocesses they carried out, as well as the use of the Plickers. This study can be interesting to PE teachers interested in using AA,TA and ICT. Further research about this topic may be need.
