Problem Solving and Reasoning skills will be emphasized in the Exercise Science program.
Objective
Principles Of Exercise Science
Students in the Exercise Science program will be able to effectively demonstrate the lever system and articulate the manner in which it relates to the human body.
Indicator
Principles Of Exercise Science
A common embedded portion of each KINE 3362 section’s written exam will require students to explain the lever system and discuss how it relates to the human body. The exam was developed by the Exercise Science faculty.
Criterion
Principles Of Exercise Science
At least 85% of the Kinesiology BS (Exercise Science) students will score at least 78% or higher in the lever quiz assignment.
Finding
Principles Of Exercise Science
A total of 75% of the Exercise Science students met the minimum score of at least 78% on the lever quiz assignment.
Action
Principles Of Exercise Science
The Kinesiology Exercise Science Program faculty were disappointed with the findings of this goal. The faculty will include additional subject content and activities focusing on the principles and application of exercise science during the 2013-2014 academic year.
Goal
Content Knowledge
The Kinesiology BS Exercise Science Program will emphasize factual knowledge and competencies that are needed by professional in the field.
Objective
Content Knowledge
Students in the Exercise Science program will demonstrate the knowledge of the foundations of exercise physiology.
Indicator
Content Knowledge
One exam in KINE 3373 will require students to thoroughly explain, demonstrate, and prescribe exercises designed to improve the components of physical activity--muscular strength, flexibility, balance, power, speed, and cardiovascular endurance.
Criterion
Content Knowledge
At least 85% of Kinesiology BS (Exercise Science) students will score a minimum of 78% on the comprehensive final exam in KINE 3373.
Finding
Content Knowledge
A total of 80% of the Exercise Science students met the minimum criterion of a score of at least 78% on the comprehensive final exam.
Action
Content Knowledge
The Kinesiology Exercise Science Program faculty were a bit disappointed with the findings of this goal. The faculty will include additional subject content and activities focusing on the components of physical activity and exercise science during the 2013-2014 academic year.
Goal
Problem Solving And Reasoning
Students in the exercise science program will demonstrate problem solving and reasoning skills in the application of the principles of research.
Objective
Problem Solving And Reasoning Skills
Students in the exercise science program will demonstrate problem solving and reasoning skills in the application of the principles of research.
Indicator
Problem Solving And Reasoning Skills
Problem solving and reasoning; analyzing an activity and/or test to create an appropriate informed consent in KINE4393 will require students to utilize problem solving skills to examine an activity/test and utilize reasoning skills to determine the associated risks and benefits and how each should be presented in an informed consent.
Criterion
Problem Solving And Reasoning Skills
At least 85% of Kinesiology BS (Exercise Science) students will score a minimum of 78% on the informed consent assignment.
Finding
Problem Solving And Reasoning Skills
A total of 74% of the Exercise Science students met the minimum criteria of at least 78% on the informed consent assignment.
Action
Problem Solving And Reasoning Skills
The Kinesiology Exercise Science Program faculty were disappointed with the findings of this goal. The faculty will include additional subject content and activities focusing on problem solving and reasoning skills that are needed in the profession of Exercise Science during the 2013-2014 academic year.
Goal
Professional Development And Practices
Kinesiology BS (Exercise Science) students will be able to use their acquired knowledge, skills, and experience in an internship setting.
Objective
Professional Development:
Kinesiology BS (Exercise Science) students will be able to use their acquired knowledge, skills, and experience in an internship setting.
Indicator
Professional Development Mastery
Kinesiology BS (Exercise Science) students enrolled in KINE 4394 will be able to demonstrate professional competency in an applied setting. Students will engage in a variety of assignments including monthly blogs, weekly internship logs, and a cumulative reflection paper in order to demonstrate summary professional development. The cumulative portfolio is evaluated via a rubric established by program faculty. Students’ cumulative performance will also be evaluated by their internship site supervisor via a rubric established by program faculty.
Criterion
Site Supervisor Evaluation And Professional Portfolio
Kinesiology BS (Exercise Science) students enrolled in KINE 4394 will achieve a minimum of an 85 % rating on their final internship evaluation from their site supervisor. Additionally, the professional portfolio and all accompanying assignments presented by the student must also attain a minimum of an 85 percent rating.
Since this is a new objective for 12-13, will be gathering baseline data.
Finding
Site Supervisor Evaluation And Professional Portfolio
A total of 73% of the Exercise Science students met the minimum criterion of a score of at least 85% in the professional internship experience.
Action
Professional Development And Practices
The Kinesiology Exercise Science Program faculty were a bit disappointed with the findings of this goal. The faculty will include additional subject content and activities focusing on professional development, communication skills, and competencies that are necessary for the profession of Exercise Science during the 2013-2014 academic year.
