Upper Division Learning Objective 6

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 relationship among movement, conditioning and training, well-being and skill across the life span and under a variety of environmental and personally unique conditions.

	Sample Outcomes	Sample Indicators
1	Demonstrate an understanding of how one's skill level is influenced by one's movement capabilities at any point in life.	Prepare a lab report providing age-related examples of how, at that age, one's movement capabilities limit skill attainment. For each age group, provide examples of how skill level influences well-being.
2	Demonstrate an understanding of how one's fitness level influences the development, attainment or performance of skill at any point in life.	Develop a program to enhance one's personal skill level via a personally-suited conditioning/training program.
3	Demonstrate the ability to evaluate the impact of fitness level and skill level on the well-being of individuals of various ages.	For a variety of age groups, provide examples of how fitness level and skill level influence well-being.
