All students completing the upper division Kinesiology degree program should:
demonstrate knowledge of and skill in a broad variety of motor skill and fitness activities.
Objectives |
Outcomes | ||
| Example | 1 | Describe content and conceptual knowledge in kinesiology; the environmental, task, and organismic constraints impinging on movement. | Examinations, lab reports, essays, videos, reflective papers, term papers, mini-research projects. |
| Example | 2 | Describe the systematic body knowledge related to motor behavior prior to effective application. | Auditory record, portfolio of athletic and fitness activities, certifications (e.g., NSCA, IDEA, WSI), proficiency tests. |
| Example | 3 | Demonstrate understanding of movement experiences in the context of acquiring skill and fitness and in learning a novel skill. | Abstract, journal documentation, video, photo, auditory record, portfolio of athletic and fitness. |
Ideas from Previous Conferences
Objectives |
Outcomes | ||
| 1 | Completing the course work that provides content and conceptual information in kinesiology. | Exams, reports, term papers, other. | |
| 2 | Laboratory experiences, field work, and observation. | Tangible records, observation reports, lab assignments, success in applied settings, journals, video, pictures, other | |
| 3 | Students will develop an understanding of movement consistent with kinesiological principles, developmental sequencing of skills, management of the learning environment, and safe exercise practices. | develop instructional plans (e.g., lesson plans, exercise programming) | |
| 4 | Students participate in a variety of experiences which provide measures of fitness components. | a. Prepares a critical self-evaluation of health related fitness and develops a personal fitness plan based on the self evaluation, b. prepares a critical evaluation of health related fitness and develops a fitness plan based on the evaluation. | |
| 5 | Students understand fundamental and motor skill acquisition. | a. demonstrate motor skill, b. video analysis of skill acquisition | |
| 6 | Students interact with diverse populations in developing fundamental movement skills and fitness | internship, field experiences, or community programs | |
| 7 | Students develop skills and advocacy strategies to promote and maintain lifelong wellness for diverse populations. | case study based on self-audit of lifelong fitness |
