Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):
PEP 3290 - Skill
Development and Methods of Teaching Fitness for Life
(2) F, Sp
This course is designed to introduce the fundamental principles of
cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, and strength development, as well as to
assist each individual to design and implement their own personal fitness
program based on individual needs, assessments, and personal preferences.
Students will explore resources for and methods of teaching the principles of
fitness in the secondary school setting. This is a required course for the
physical education major and the physical education/coaching minor.
Prerequisite: PEP 2000 and HLTH 2300 or concurrent enrollment in either PEP 2000
and HLTH 2300.
Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)
The first change is to
reduce the course credit hours to 2 for each “Skill Development and Methods of
Teaching” course. The second change is to incorporate a “laboratory” portion of
the course such that student’s content knowledge and skill development can be
evaluated separately from their teaching pedagogy and efficacy. Thereby the
instructors of these courses can identify prospective Physical Education and
Coaching majors and minors who may be able to perform skills but not teach them
and vice-versa. By holding our students accountable to both aspects
(doing/knowing and teaching) we will be able to better identify those students
who need more help and in which areas and which students to allow into their
respective programs for certification (or not). The changes to this course will
ensure our students are meeting NASPE standards (See Program Changes for
detailed description).
This Skill Development and Methods of Teaching course offers opportunity to
develop skills required by the accrediting body, the National Association for
Sport and Physical Education, NASPE, standards 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, Students will
demonstrate competence in motor skill performance, demonstrate performance
concepts related to skillful movement and achieve and maintain health-enhancing
level of fitness. Students are also expected, as stated in Standard 4.3, to
provide effective instructional feedback for skill acquisition, student learning
and motivation.
