This is the loose-leaf version of Measurement and Evaluation in
Human Performance, Sixth Edition With HKPropel Access, which offers
students a less expensive, printed version of the text. Measurement
and Evaluation in Human Performance, Sixth Edition With HKPropel
Access, guides students through the essentials of collecting and
analyzing data of human performance and using that data in
practical application. Introductory algebraic concepts are combined
with the technological capabilities of Microsoft Excel and IBM's
SPSS software to aid students in calculations and data analysis.
Focusing on the core concepts of reliability and validity of data,
the text provides all the necessary tools for evidence-based
decision making to apply in kinesiology, sport and exercise
science, physical therapy, allied health, physical education,
health, and fitness. The sixth edition of Measurement and
Evaluation in Human Performance has been reorganized to offer a
logical progression of information that makes it easy for
instructors and students to apply the content to their specific
courses and career goals. It is enhanced with added expertise from
new coauthor Weimo Zhu, who served as the chair of the Measurement
and Evaluation Council of SHAPE America. The amount of information
on physical activity assessment has been increased across all
chapters, and the text includes new content about sport video
analysis apps, employment-related testing, and more. The text is
divided into four parts. Part I introduces the concepts of
measurement and evaluation and their importance for decision making
in human performance. Part II explores statistics as core tools and
resources for these evaluations and explains the various forms of
statistical procedures often used in measurement. Part III presents
reliability and validity from theoretical, comprehensive, and
criterion-referenced perspectives. Skills gained through previous
sections are applied to human performance issues such as evaluating
a person's aerobic capacity or muscular strength. Part IV applies
all of the content from the previous sections to practical settings
where students will use the knowledge gained in the text, covering
topics like fitness assessment, performance assessment, motor
behavior, and sport and exercise psychology. To enhance student
comprehension and retention, related online learning aids are
delivered through HKPropel. Sample data sets allow students to
practice data analysis, as do a wide range of study and practice
activities. Chapter quizzes may be assigned to students by
instructors and are automatically graded within HKPropel. In
addition, Mastery Item sidebars throughout the text include
problems and activities that test student knowledge, while
Measurement and Evaluation Challenge sidebars provide scenarios
that can be tackled with the information from the chapter.
Measurement and Evaluation in Human Performance, Sixth Edition,
continues to provide students with the tools and confidence they
will need to gather reliable data, analyze it, and apply it in
their work with clients. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is
included with all new print books.
