Draft Kin Program Learning Objectives (Key principles: critical understanding and application of research and scholarship in the field of kinesiology; written and technical communication; movement competence; sustainability; diversity and social justice) 1.To obtain a critical understanding and the ability to apply theoretical and scientific knowledge from the subdisciplines in kinesiology for personal fitness, healthy lifestyles, sport, and/or therapeutic rehabilitation. 2.To effectively communicate, in written and verbal form, the essential theories, scientific applications, and ethical considerations related to the discipline of kinesiology. 3.To develop movement competence from scholarship and practice of different movement forms. 4.To understand sustainable approaches as they relate to the field of kinesiology. 5.To understand social justice and equity issues related to movement, fitness, and sport opportunities for various populations. Student Learning Objectives (Course Specific) (What are the student learning objectives for my course? How do these SLOs contribute to the accomplishment of these program learning objectives?) 1.___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ 2.___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ 3.___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ 4.___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ 5.___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ Program Outcome Measures (How will we demonstrate that we have achieved these program learning objectives?) 1.Portfolio (Critical reflection on Kin major or minor) 2.AAC&U Critical Thinking Rubric (Kin 70 & Kin 185 comparison) 3.Movement Project 4. AAC&U Writing Rubric Kin Faculty Retreat Fall 2010 Your Name ________________ Course Outcome Measures (How will we demonstrate that we have achieved the student learning objectives? E.g., A written and technical communication about specific discipline in the context of the field of kinesiology; can be, for example, accomplished by writing a paper of XX length or an essay question on a test) Syllabi should contain program learning objectives and student learning objectives that are connected to measureable outcomes. Course outcomes should be represented in program outcome measures. Next Steps “Close the loop” reflecting on the achievement of our program learning objectives based upon the program outcomes. What now? 1._________________________ 2. _______________________ 3. _______________________ 4. _______________________ Student learning objectives should be directly connected to outcome measures so that students may understand their accomplishments. “Close the loop” by reflecting on how well students are doing in meeting the student learning objectives; do the objectives need to be changed; do the measures need to be changed; do our methods need to be changed?

(Key principles: critical understanding and application of research and scholarship in the field of kinesiology; communication skills; movement competence; sustainability; diversity and social justice) At the end of a Bachelor of Science degree program in the Department of Kinesiology students should be able: 1.To obtain a critical understanding and the ability to apply theoretical and scientific knowledge from the subdisciplines in kinesiology for personal fitness, healthy lifestyles, sport, and/or therapeutic rehabilitation. 2.To effectively communicate the essential theories, scientific applications, and ethical considerations related to kinesiology. 3.To apply scholarship and practice of different movement forms to enhance movement competence in kinesiology. 4.To recognize and apply sustainable approaches as they relate to kinesiology. 5.To identify social justice and equity issues related to kinesiology for various populations.
