Abstract

This study examined sport science students’ assessment preferences in different undergraduate courses. Turkish university students (n = 304) completed an adapted version of the Assessment Preferences Inventory (API). Results indicated that self-assessment, observation and peer assessment were the most preferred assessment tools. Multiple choice and performance-based tasks were the most preferred item format and task types, respectively. Physical Education and Sport course students reported a greater preference for Alternative Assessment and Simple/Multiple Choice; Recreation Education course students preferred Classical Assessment and Complex/Constructivist. Consequently, students wanted prior knowledge of assessment format indicating the need to inform them prior to beginning instruction.
