Abstract EN

The aim of this study is to know the reality of formative assessment of the pupils' level during the physical and sports education class in the middle school stage from the teachers' perspective.

A questionnaire was given to a sample of 38 teachers of physical and sports education, chosen through a comprehensive inventory method from the municipality of Bordj Bou Arreridj.

Following the descriptive approach, the main results obtained were as follows: There are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.

05≥) -attributed to the scientific qualification variable- between the means of the sample-members' answers about the reality of the formative assessment of the pupils' level in light of the competency-based approach.

The results were in favour of the teachers holding a Master's degree.

The difficulties in implementing formative assessment are linked to the lack of training of the teachers of physical and sports education.
