Upper Division Learning Objective 4

Examples of Assessing Student Achievement of Learning Objectives in the Major.

Each campus intends to develop its own assessment plan. We expect that each campus will enumerate the learning opportunities it provides for students to achieve the learning objectives. Each campus will also identify outcome(s) that reflect student achievement in a particular learning objective. We expect both the opportunities and outcomes to vary from campus to campus reflecting the unique programmatic directions of each campus.

To assist campuses in the task of developing an assessment plan, we offer three examples for each of the core learning objectives. Each example includes: (1) statements of specific instructional learning outcomes that reflect a competency inherent in the learning objective and (2) the achieved results of the outcome (indicators) that can be submitted to document objective attainment.

As campuses develop assessment plans, additional examples may be added to provide guidance to others. It is not intended that any or all of these sample outcomes and indicators need to be demonstrated by any particular student. Each campus profile of outcomes and indicators will be unique, as will that of each student.

All students completing the upper division Kinesiology degree program should:

understand the sociocultural, historical, and philosophical perspectives of human movement within and across diverse cultures, historical periods, and social settings.

Sample Outcomes

Sample Indicators

1 Demonstrate an ability to describe and analyze historical events relevant to some aspect of physical activity. Using a combination of primary and secondary historical data sources, submit a written report that describes and analyzes major patterns and changes in some aspect of physical activity during a specific time period in the past.

2 Apply theoretical knowledge of social identities to a critical analysis of physical activity professions. Based on surveys and/or interviews of physical activity professionals, submit a written report that critically analyzes professional practices in relation to social identities.

3 Demonstrate an ability to apply a philosophical rationale to some aspect of professional practice. Select one example of a professional practice you are likely to engage in and discuss the philosophical basis that guides your actions in this context.
