Graduation Competency 11

All students completing the upper division Kinesiology degree program should:

be able to use and apply measurement instruments and principles for qualitative and quantitative assessment of human performance.

Objectives

Outcomes

Example 1 Demonstrate ability to organize, analyze, present and interpret assessment data. Using computer spread sheet, students enter set of data (such as fitness scores of boys and girls), compute descriptive statistics, construct a bar graph showing gender and age group differences, and submit report which includes statistical tables, graphs, and a written summary of results.

Example 2 Demonstrate ability to select and administer appropriate assessment instruments (i.e., test that are reliable, valid, age/gender appropriate, etc.). Working in small groups, students select, plan, and administer a test; submit a report describing test purpose, procedures, and results; and submit video record of testing procedures.

Example 3 Apply principles of test construction to the development of a qualitative assessment tool. Construct and submit a rating scale for analyzing movement pattern; include documentation supporting its reliability, validity, and objectivity.

Ideas from Previous Conferences

Objectives

Outcomes

1 Participate in a variety of lab and field experiences. Competency in labs and field experiences is demonstrated by instrument selection, calibration, data collection, interpretation, lab reports, journals, and final reports.

2 Use qualitative and quantitative techniques for analysis of human movement. Competency in the analysis of human movement is demonstrated by examinations, written reports and oral reports.

3 Select and administer valid and reliable assessment instruments (e.g. skills tests, fitness tests, psychological tests, and cognitive tests). Competency in selecting and administering assessment instruments is demonstrated by examinations, written reports, test selection criteria, oral reports, administration procedures, and data interpretation.

4 Students will be able to use and apply kinesiological data collection techniques and measurement theory to assess, analyze, and evaluate human performance. Lab assignments, Technology assisted (e.g., PowerPoint), guided web module

5 Students will be able to define assessment problems, apply appropriate tools to describe the problem, use the tool to collect pertinent data, interpret results and act on the interpretation. Electronic portfolio, web page design, multimedia presentation

6 Areas lending themselves to Movement Analysis problems are not limited to but may include biomechanical analysis, physiological analysis, motor development, and motor learning.

7 Techniques for analysis are not limited to but may include experimental, descriptive, phenomenological, systematic observation, surveys, case study, and meta-analysis.

8 Students administer state approved health related fitness test (fitnessgram)to school aged children Video record of test administration (ie fitnessgram)

9 Students will learn the principles of constructing valid and reliable assessment tools (e.g., skills, fitness, psycohological, affective and cognitive tests).

10 Students construct a rating scale for analyzing locomotor movement patterns documentation of the reliability, validity, and objectivity of the rating scale
