Challenges and Practices of Continuous Assessment in Teaching-Learning Physical Education Practical Classes: The Case of Middle Schools in Addis Ketema Sub-City, Addis Ababa
(Addis Ababa University, 2025-07-01) Zelalem Goshu; Tesfaye Asegedom
Continuous Assessment (CA) is an ongoing evaluation method supporting the teaching-learning process by providing constant feedback to improve students' performance. In Physical Education (PE), CA helps track skill acquisition and participation in practical classes, aligning assessment with active learning. The main purpose of this study was to explore the challenges and practices of implementing CA in teaching-learning PE practical classes in middle schools of Addis Ketema Sub-City, Addis Ababa. The total population included 275 students, 25 PE teachers, and 11 school leaders from government middle schools. A sample of 165 students, 20 PE teachers, and 8 school leaders was selected using stratified random sampling for students and purposive sampling for teachers and school leaders to ensure representativeness. Instruments for data collection included structured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis for gathering quantitative and qualitative data. Data analysis methods involved quantitative descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and qualitative thematic analysis to interpret and triangulate findings. Findings revealed that despite recognizing the importance of CA, large class sizes, limited time, inadequate resources, and insufficient teacher training hinder effective implementation. The study concluded that addressing institutional, resource, and capacity-related challenges is essential for effective CA implementation in PE practical classes. Recommendations include establishing clear frameworks, training teachers, reducing class sizes, providing resources, and aligning policy with practice to ensure consistent CA in PE

(Addis Ababa University, 2019-09-01) Bayisa Muleta; Mekbib Alemu
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the effects of participation in physical activities on secondary school students’ academic achievements in Western Showa Zone. For this quasi-experimental study the academic achievement records of 728 secondary school students for 6 academic subjects such as Mathematics, English, Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Civics were collected from Olankomi, Ginchi and Liban Mecha secondary schools. The 364 students were divided into experimental group those participating in 3 hours per week physical activity and control group those who do not. The data was analyzed quantitatively using parametric statistics such as independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA to compare the mean academic achievement of the two groups of students to see if there are differences in the mean values due to participation in physical activities. According to that, the results of this study indicates that participating in physical activities three hours per week for three months has positive effects on the students’ academic achievements. Furthermore, despite difference between schools regarding the effect of participation in physical activity, no such difference was observed between male and female students and also based on students’ age levels. This means, the three hours per week involvement in physical activity helped students to improve their academic achievement without discrimination. Based on this finding, it was recommended that physical education teachers encourage all students, female and male students alike, at all grade levels (all age) to participate in physical activity at least during the curricular time and preferably by creating opportunities outside class.

The study was intended to investigate the relationship between physical fitness as an outcome of practical teaching of physical education and academic performance of secondary school students of Guji Zone of Oromia Region. The research design was a descriptive survey. The total sample of the study was 348 high school students. Of those 183 were male and 165 were female. Thus students were selected randomly from Adola woyu, Boke Bulala, Megado, shakiso and Yirbamuda selected by using clustered sampling from Guji Zone. The data was collected from students’ average academic result and Health related physical fitness tests. The instruments used in this thesis includes sit and reach test, push-up test, curl-up test, one mile run test and body mass index test. A descriptive statics, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum were used. To know the relation Bi-varate correlation and an independent t-test were used. Relationships between the variables were determined by Spearman correlation coefficients. The results showed a significant correlation between physical fitness and academic performance in the total group and between several fitness variables such as one mile run test, push up and academic performance in the female group. Significant correlations were also found between strength tests and academic performance among girls. The mean of academic achievement of physically fit participants was significantly greater than physically unfit participants. Several fitness parameters discriminated between high and low academic achievers. A positive relationship between physical fitness components and academic achievement was found with more significant correlations among girls than boys. The mean difference between the two group is 6.137 at p-value 0.000. This implies that the difference in means is statistically significant at the p-value = 0.05 levels. Here, we can conclude that physical fitness and academic achievement have a direct relationship. As fitness level increases, academic achievement also increases. Indeed, the study recommended that an appropriate instruction in physical education is essential to enhance students’ participation in physical practice to build students’ physical fitness and hence, promote their academic performance. Key words: Physical fitness; Academic achievement; Physical Education; sport, endurance, flexibility
