Given below are two statements:
Statements I: In norm-referenced testing, the major concern is whether individuals reach an established level of performance regardless of how well other individuals do.
Statements II: In criterion referenced measurement the relative performance of students is assessed and is the basis for the grading system in Physical Education.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

The correct answer Is (b)

Statement I suggests that in norm-referenced testing, the major concern is whether individuals reach an established level of performance regardless of how well other individuals do. This statement is inaccurate. Norm-referenced testing involves comparing an individual's performance to that of a norm group, typically a representative sample of the population. The primary concern in norm-referenced testing is how an individual's performance ranks relative to the performance of others in the norm group.
Statement II describes criterion-referenced measurement, stating that the relative performance of students is assessed and forms the basis for the grading system in physical education. This statement is also false. In criterion-referenced measurement, individuals’ performances are compared to predetermined criteria or standards, rather than to the performances of other individuals. The grading system is based on whether individuals meet specific criteria or standards of performance, regardless of how their performance compares to others. Criterion-referenced tests assess mastery of specific skills or knowledge, independent of others’ performance levels.

Both statements misrepresent the concepts of norm-referenced testing and criterionreferenced measurement.
Both Statements I and II are false.
