1 2012 CALIFORNIA PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST e-template REFERENCE GUIDE Evalumetrics Inc. January 2012

2012 New e-template Features Starting this year, the e-template contains several new worksheets, with color-coded tables and charts to assist teachers and students improve student achievement. 1.

2 2012 New e-template Features Starting this year, the e-template contains several new worksheets, with color-coded tables and charts to assist teachers and students improve student achievement. 1. HOW CLOSE TO HFZ -This sheet displays 1) how much improvement is needed to meet the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ), 2) by how much HFZ has already been met, or 3) the amount needed to meet the HFZ for those tests not taken. This sheet is updated dynamically as scores are inputted into the PE TEMPLATE sheet. Page 2 of 26

This sheet is also updated dynamically as scores are inputted into the PE TEMPLATE sheet. 3.

3 2012 New e-template Features (cont d) 2. OVERALL -This sheet displays charts for Overall Standards Performance and Number of Fitness Standards Achieved. This sheet is also updated dynamically as scores are inputted into the PE TEMPLATE sheet. 3. GENDER -This sheet displays charts for Overall Standards Performance and Number of Fitness Standards Achieved by gender. This sheet is dynamically as scores are inputted into the PE TEMPLATE sheet. Page 3 of 26

4 2012 New e-template Features (cont d) 4. Student Reports and Student Charts buttons -These buttons are located at the top left corner of the PE Template worksheet, and must be double-clicked to activate their respective functions. When either the Student Reports or Student Charts buttons is double-clicked, a list of students is displayed with several fields of the students test records, and one, many, or all of the students can be selected. In the example below the first student has been selected. Note: Excel files will be created and saved onto your computer whenever the Student Reports or Student Charts button is double-clicked. Those files will be duplicated and renamed for easier grouping. Page 4 of 26

5 2012 New e-template Features (cont d) 5. Student Report -This worksheet displays the most recent results for a particular student. Partial reports in English and Spanish are shown below. English Spanish Page 5 of 26

6 2012 New e-template Features (cont d) 6. STUDENT-LONGITUDINAL -This worksheet displays charts for a selected student, and these longitudinal charts reflect a particular student s achievement over time. In the example below the student s curl-ups chart is expanded to reveal details, including color-coding green when the HFZ is met, and red when the HFZ is not met. Page 6 of 26

Important Test Administration Notes 1. Starting in 2011, the AEROBIC CAPACITY and BODY COMPOSITION Healthy Fitness Zone standards (HFZ) changed significantly.

It has been well documented by Evalumetrics that students with higher Body mass index results are at a disadvantage when it comes to meeting the new AEROBIC CAPACITY HFZ standards.

7 Important Test Administration Notes 1. Starting in 2011, the AEROBIC CAPACITY and BODY COMPOSITION Healthy Fitness Zone standards (HFZ) changed significantly. Students who met the BODY COMPOSITION HFZ prior to 2011 would have a much more difficult time meeting the new HFZ standards. It has been well documented by Evalumetrics that students with higher Body mass index results are at a disadvantage when it comes to meeting the new AEROBIC CAPACITY HFZ standards. For students 13 years and older, please consider the Walk Test in order to afford those students a better chance to meet the AEROBIC CAPACITY HFZ In order to score AEROBIC CAPACITY tests, a mile run time and/or number of pacer laps AND height and weight (BMI) must also be written and bubbled in the BODY COMPOSITION section. Skinfold and/or bioelectric components can also be administered as BODY COMPOSITION tests and recorded on the test form. All BMI tests recorded on the test form will be scored for the best result. Page 7 of 26

If a student is not enrolled either in the district or has changed schools or classrooms, one of last two options may be selected.

8 Important Test Administration Notes (cont d) 2. It is important to select a reason for not being tested or partially tested. If a student is not enrolled either in the district or has changed schools or classrooms, Not currently enrolled in this class can be selected. If a student is not enrolled either in the district or has changed schools or classrooms, one of last two options may be selected. Student test results with either one of these reasons will not be submitted to the CDE, and there is no charge for processing the record. Please note that Waiver granted by State Board of Education is no longer available. 3. A valid GENDER, GRADE, BIRTH DATE, and START TEST DATE are required in order to score and submit results to CDE. In addition, CDE may invalidate birth dates out of the normal range for each grade. Please double check birth dates that seem out of the ordinary. Page 8 of 26

9 Important Test Administration Notes (cont d) 4. Students must complete six (6) fitness tests, some of which have multiple options. However, both ABDOMINAL STRENGTH and TRUNK EXTENSION have one (1) required test. 5. The height range for the BMI test option is 3 to 7 feet and 0 to 11 inches. 6. Starting in 2009 a TEST START DATE field was added to the data collection requirements. This TEST START DATE field must be recorded for each student indicating the date upon which the student has begun the first of the six required tests. If this section is not completed a date is determined from the other TEST START DATES in that e-template. The Physical Fitness Test administration window is February 1 through May 31. Page 9 of 26

11 CUSTOMIZING e-templates e-templates can be customized to display only the tests you plan to administer. You can request via or by phone that your e-templates be customized to display only those tests that will be administered. Customization typically results in fewer data entry errors than that of noncustomized templates. Teachers may customize their own e-templates by clicking on the Tests button located in the upper left hand corner (see page 4). Starting this year, selected demographic fields can be hidden in order to print the test section at a higher percentage when the e-template is used as a data collection sheet (see next page). Page 11 of 26

12 DATA COLLECTION SHEETS You can print out data collection sheets from your e-templates. This should assist you in data collection and data entry and reduce the possible error in transcribing results into the e-template. Microsoft Office 2003 To print out data collection sheets: 1. Highlight the section of the e-template you want to print and click on File menu>print Area>Set Print Area. 2. Click on File menu>page Setup and adjust the scale percentage until the data collection sheet is the size you want. 3. Select Print preview on the File menu and then the Page Break Preview button, and adjust print area if necessary. Microsoft Office 2007 To print out data collection sheets: 1. Highlight the section of the e-template you want to print and click on Page layout>print Area>Set Print Area. 2. Select Page layout>print Titles and make necessary changes to Print Area, Rows to repeat at top, etc. Note: Customizing e-templates displays fewer tests and may support larger font sizes for the data collection sheets.

13 e-template COLORS In 2011, green has been added to the e-template. As test scores are entered into the e-template, cells change to green when the student is within the Healthy Fitness Zone for that particular test. Red cells are indicators that test data is missing or invalid, and a row of blue row of cells indicates that a student does not have any test data entered (this is the color that you see when the e-templates are opened). Click on the Legend button (see page 4) in the upper-left corner to access the color legend. The legend also contains the list of RACE and PARENT EDUCATION codes. Page 13 of 26
