Before you begin this assignment, review the evaluation rubric.

Interview two professionals who hold a minimum of a graduate degree within the field (career path) you are pursuing now (i.e., physical therapy, athletic training, collegiate or professional strength & conditioning coaches, physical education teacher etc.,). Create interview questions that will determine:

1. Their philosophy of assessment and the professional practices they use to evaluate their patients, clients, students, athletes etc.

2. Which developmental domains they assess (i.e., motor, physical, affective/social, & cognitive)  and, the reason(s) they conduct assessments or do not conduct assessments of individuals in  each of the four domains discussed within the course text and other material this term.

3. What actions they take after they collect the assessment measurements and how often they conduct assessments during their meetings with patients, clients, athletes, students etc.

Once you have completed the interviews, prepare a  2-page " summary"  report of what the interviews revealed to you about how these professionals viewed each domain of development. 

Do not  include every direct quote you received during the interviews. Include these questions in your assessment summary:

Did they view the domains equally in importance? 

Which domains did they deem less important than others? 

Since we know that all domains are interrelated, what justification did the interviewees provide you with for not conducting assessments in each domain? 

What is your opinion about what you learned from these interviews. 

What will you consider when you assess the cognitive, affective, motor & physical domains of human motor development after completing this course? 

Use APA format to prepare your 2-page written document (title page and reference page not included).  Be sure to make references to the course text and other course material and use appropriate citations.
