Teacher guidelines

The following guidelines are supplied to enable teachers to carry out valid and consistent assessment using this internal assessment resource.

Teachers need to be very familiar with the outcome being assessed by Achievement Standard Physical Education 91502. The achievement criteria and the explanatory notes contain information, definitions, and requirements that are crucial when interpreting the Standard and assessing students against it.

Context/setting

This assessment activity requires students to examine an iconic New Zealand physical activity event for its impact on New Zealand society. To do this, they will need to research a range of perspectives and relevant sociocultural factors. They will then present their findings in the form of a presentation.

The instructions assume that you will select the iconic event and that all students will examine the same event. You may prefer that students choose their own events, in which case they should first submit their choice to you so you can confirm its suitability (especially whether it is significant enough to have an impact upon New Zealand society, as per the Standard).

The instructions assume that students choose the mode of their presentations. Again, they should first discuss their plans with you so you can help them identify any pitfalls.

Conditions

It is suggested that students be given a minimum of four weeks of in-class and out-of-class time for this assessment task, but adjust the time to suit your students’ needs.

Students are required to acknowledge all sources.

Resource requirements

Students will need access to the Internet and library resources of newspapers, magazines, journals etc to research the chosen current physical activity event. Students will need access to and consideration of information on sociocultural factors associated with their chosen topic. These may include social, political, environmental, economic, ethical, cultural and historical (SPEEECH) factors. Other relevant socio-cultural factors may be considered such as gender, commodification, technocentricity, healthism, scientism, the body as a project and identity.

Additional information

Presentation formats should be adapted to reflect the needs of your students, the nature/context of your teaching and learning programme, and the facilities/environment you work in. It may be possible for you to select a more appropriate presentation format without influencing the intent or validity of this task.

Sources of evidence may include self-assessments, peer assessments, and teacher professional judgements.

Presentation formats may include written reports, electronic portfolios, blogs/wikis, and audio/visual portfolios.

Student instructions

Introduction

This activity requires you to create a presentation in which you examine and its impact on New Zealand society.

Teacher note: Select a physical activity event that is relevant to your students. If possible, it should be current and/or local, but it must be significant enough to have had an impact on New Zealand society, as per the Standard.

A current physical activity event would include such events as: Masters Games, X Games, Speight’s Coast to Coast, ITM400 Hamilton V8 Supercars, Tour of Southland (cycling), Maadi Cup (rowing), Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon, rugby sevens, an event in your local community etc.

You will be assessed on the depth of your examination, how critically you question and challenge assumptions around the event, and your drawing of coherent and insightful conclusions about the impact or potential impact of this event on New Zealand society.

Negotiate the presentation format with your teacher. Note that it is the quality of your examination, and not the style of the presentation, that will be assessed.

You will research and complete this activity over weeks of in-class and out-of-class time.

Research sources could include the Internet (for example, stuff.co.nz), books, newspaper and magazine articles, television documentaries, your own interviews with individuals involved in the event (athletes, organisers, volunteers), family members, surveys of peers, and observations.

Task

Examine and its impact on New Zealand society.

Create your presentation on the selected event. In it, explain your own feelings about the event and consider a range of perspectives and factors. These may include (but are not limited to) social, political, ethical, environmental, economic, cultural, and historical perspectives and factors, plus any other relevant sociocultural factors such as gender, commodification, technocentricity, healthism, scientism, the body as a project, and identity could also be considered.

For example, you might include:

• An introduction that explains what you will be examining. It may include historical or background information.

• The positives and negatives of the event – who is advantaged or disadvantaged? How and why? What is its impact on New Zealand society?

• Who is impacted, and to what extent, by the event? Who is in control/power? Who is influential? Who has a vested interest?

• The different viewpoints people have on the event. What has influenced them to adopt these viewpoints?

• Assumptions made about the event. Question and challenge these assumptions: are they accurate or not? (Consider a wide range of perspectives.) What are the consequences of these assumptions? Who benefits/who does not? What is the impact on New Zealand society?

Base your judgements on evidence, class discussions, and your own experiences.

Conclude your presentation with a summary in which you briefly restate your viewpoint and reiterate why it is valid.

Either give your teacher a bibliography listing all sources used in creating your presentation or acknowledge all sources in your presentation.

| | |Coast to Coast organisers, has seen a marked increase in the blue |

| | |duck population and other bird life in the area. |

| | |However, concerns are still raised about the impact so many |

| | |competitors have on the flora and fauna in the area. Predator |

| | |trapping does not pay for the irreparable damage. This country was |

| | |not meant to have 850 people tramping and running through its native |

| | |bush all in one go. Tracks are not marked, and competitors can take |

| | |any route they wish. This often leads to routes being cleared and |

| | |then others using these routes. The result is a large amount of |

| | |people trampling the flora and fauna, leading to valuable plants |

| | |being destroyed, which could in turn lead to erosion. Conservation |

| | |groups ask: “What are the Coast to Coast organisers doing about |

| | |this?” |

| | |Talking to a competitor in the event, I think this is a bit |

| | |far-fetched on the part of the conservationists. You have to follow |

| | |the race trails and stay within tape that is put up. Going outside |

| | |these trails and the tape can lead to personal injury and |

| | |disqualification. You are always going to get a small number of |

| | |people who don’t follow these rules. But as the competitor I spoke to|

| | |said, “Are a few people going to have a big effect on the flora and |

| | |fauna?” These generally regenerate fairly quickly in this area as it |

| | |has low use by people. The limit on the amount of competitors that |

| | |can take part also means you do not have thousands of people running |

| | |through these areas, which could readily happen if the event were to |

| | |expand. The negative impact on the flora and fauna is far outweighed |

| | |by the positive impacts of economic and commercial benefits for the |

| | |country. |

| | |Despite efforts by race organisers to ensure the Coast to Coast has a|

| | |positive impact on the environment, a race that we as New Zealanders |

| | |take for granted and assume will continue to be held, may in fact be |

| | |in danger of discontinuing. With the increase in irrigation on the |

| | |Canterbury Plains and water being taken from Waimakariri River, race |

| | |organisers are concerned that the water levels in the river may be |

| | |too low for the kayak section of the event. Any change to the current|

| | |route of the Coast to Coast would detract from the iconic nature of |

| | |the scenery and the event. |

| | |The examples above relate to only part of what is required, and are |

| | |just indicative. |

Final grades will be decided using professional judgement based on a holistic examination of the evidence provided against the criteria in the Achievement Standard.
