The use of drawings as an evaluative tool: students’ experiences of sport education.
Abstract
In this paper we examine the use of student drawings as a means of investigating students' perceptions of a particular school-based experience, namely Sport Education—for which we are using the description proposed by Siedentop (1994; 1998). On completion of a 16-week season of Sport Education in a primary school in the Midlands of England, 46 Year 5 students (aged nine and ten years) completed individual drawings arising from their experience of the programme. We discuss the methodological issues involved with using drawings as a form of data collection and explain how data from the drawings (the pictures themselves and the discussion about these) complemented findings from the more general ongoing interviews of the broader study. We conclude with issues pertaining to the use of drawings in this one particular school-based experience and general conclusions about student drawings as an evaluation tool. Those working with young people are encouraged to support the use of drawings as a child-centred procedure and evaluation tool.

Children's drawing could be an investigative tool that benefits children who have difficulty with verbal expression, and through drawing the child can incorporate elements important to him or her in representing the phenomena depicted.
“children’s drawing could be an investigative tool that benefits children who have difficulty with verbal expression, and through drawing, the child can incorporate elements that are important to him or her in terms of representing the phenomena he or she depicts (DiCarlo et al., 2000; MacPhail and Kinchin, 2004).”

“In general, drawings have some advantages over interviews, as claimed by several authors (Butler et al., 1995; DiCarlo et al., 2000; MacPhail and Kinchin, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
