The focus of this assignment is to locate an existing physical literacy assessment for older adults online. Please try to find something Canadian related!!!!! Although some exist, they are not always easy to find, especially if links become broken or inactive. Thus, you may decide to use a physical literacy assessment that was originally designed for a different population (i.e., youth) such as the CAPL or PLAY (look at files!!!!!!) The preference is that you have 1 or 2 older adults complete the assessment you have chosen with you as the administer of the instrument. If you only have one older adult who can perform the assessment, the second person can be of a different age. If you do not have access to any older adults, that is ok, let me know and we can discuss options.
Write a two-page report on how the assessment related to (or not) the concept of physical literacy for older adults. What modifications would you suggest or did you make? You will want to incorporate information about your participants, how they did, and perhaps comments they provided. Please include the assessment in the appendix.
Please note: depending on the assessment you choose, and depending on the individual acting as the participant – there may be one or more tasks they prefer not to do, or cannot do. This is still valuable information, you may want to explore that further – it does not necessarily mean you need to find a new participant.
Your assignment should be no longer than two pages.
Note: a title page for the individual weekly assignment is not necessary.
Appendix: can be hand written assessment form used as part of the assignment.
See the syllabus for formatting.
!!!This assignment is to be submitted in a “Module” together with other assignments. Among the few tasks required for this course, this one is particularly heavy on the chin. The module is not just being turned in by myself, but also by my classmate who is working with me. Can you please limit your writing to one page? I need to give my partner some space to add to it, so the final product will be two pages long. Thank you! This assignment is an assignment for a master’s level course that is being taken at a university in Canada! Additionally, I have additional PDFs from the class that you may look at in order to have a better understanding of how to do this task. Be as specific as possible and make sure nothing is overlooked. Addressing “older adults” should also be done in a tolerant and age-friendly manner. The word “older adults” has to be updated so it fits in with society. Some may find the phrase “old people” insulting. Also please look at the “Module 1” grade report I received from the previous module to see how my professor grades!
