Frequent opportunities for assessment and self-assessment can help students do all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. Track progress toward goals and make needed modifications
• B. Devise strategies to address problem areas
• C. Analyze current performance and its strengths and weaknesses
• D. Evaluate the abilities of peers

Answer: (D)

Frequent assessment and self-assessment center on students taking charge of their own learning by watching how they perform, thinking about what that means, and making practical changes. This helps them stay on track toward their goals and adjust plans when needed. It also supports them in creating and testing strategies to tackle problem areas, so they don’t just know what to fix but how to fix it. In addition, self-assessment encourages analyzing current performance to identify strengths and weaknesses, which guides targeted practice and improvement.

Evaluating the abilities of peers isn’t something self-assessment provides. That kind of judgment pertains to others’ performance, not one’s own learning process. In a PE context, you might compare your own progress against a personal goal, reflect on what’s working, and choose new drills, but judging a classmate’s abilities is not a direct outcome of frequent self-assessment.
