Abstract

The Assessment Tests in Physical Education (ATPE) are part of an external assessment process of students and the Physical Education (PE) curriculum in the Elementary School (ES) in Portugal. Thus, the opinion of parents and guardians (PG) about the ATPE can be a relevant factor. The global perceptions of 127 PEE of 2nd year students were analyzed, collected through a questionnaire, with the data processed through content analysis (emerging categories) and statistics. The results showed that the PG have a dispersion of perceptions about the ATPE, ranging from a contrary and negative position to a positive and reasoned assessment. They also identify that these can have a significant future impact, monitoring learning, the curriculum and the role of formative assessment. There is a need to expand knowledge about the nature and objectives of ATPE and its influence on valuing the PE area in the ES.
