"Evaluation in Physical Education and Sports is an outgrowth of curriculum projects funded by federal, state, and local educational agencies. Based on research and school experiences, an instructional model was developed.

Instructional processes that consistently improved the learning experience for students in a school or class were identified to plan, implement, and evaluate the model. The purpose of this book is to share these findings with those who are, or will be, responsible for imparting in regular or special education: students, teachers, curriculum planners, supervisors, administrators, policy-makers and educational researchers etc.

Hopefully, the present book will be very useful for the physical educators, coaches, students and teachers of physical education and sports." (jacket)
