What does a universal design for learning (UDL) approach to PE assessment emphasize?

• A. A single means of representation and expression.
• B. Provide multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression.
• C. Assess only through written tests.
• D. Limit student choice in how mastery is demonstrated.

Answer: (B)

UDL in PE assessment centers on giving students multiple ways to access content and demonstrate learning by offering varied representation, engagement, and expression. In practice, this means presenting information with visuals, demonstrations, and clear cues; connecting tasks to student interests and providing choices that sustain motivation; and allowing students to show mastery through different methods such as performance demonstrations, video demonstrations, oral or written reflections, or self- and peer-assessments. This flexible approach reduces barriers for diverse learners and supports inclusive assessment in physical education. Limiting to a single representation or a single mode of expression, or relying only on written tests, would not capture the full range of abilities and would reduce access and engagement.
