selects, evaluates, and reports on an empircal study
conducts and reports on observational research (e.g., coaching, early childhood settings)
5 Students critique articles in refereed journal articles.
6 Faculty involve students in research projects. Evaluate through their understanding of the conceptualized ideas.
7 Students utilize scientific methods that require the development of research related to human movement, exercise physiology and physical education. submit a number of research papers that demonstrate facility with the scientific method.
8 Students use research techniques related to human movement and the systematic analysis of movement.
9 Students' culminating experience requires an integrated research project related to human movement and exercise science.
10 Students research and report on a selected theory in Kinesiology. project, review of literature, book review
11 Students prepare lab reports showing understanding of the scientific method and other systematic ways of knowing relative to research and scholarship in human movement.
12 Students recognize mechanical factors that are associated with efficiency of movement in a variety of motor skills and development.
13 Students know and are able to explain the effects of acute and chronic exercise patterns on the physiological systems of the body, including factors that influence the exercise response.
14 Students learn the biochemical analysis for all activities of children (running, jumping, throwing, etc.)
15 Students read from ""selected readings" to include pedagogical theory, research & scholarship. Students are assessed in discussion and writings.
