Graduate Attributes:
Physical Education and Sports Science (PESS) students should demonstrate proficiency in the foundational concepts of the discipline and possess the skills needed to practice as professionals. The skills that should be demonstrated by a PESS graduate include the acquisition of refinement of motor skills, the development and maintenance of fitness for optimal health and well-being, the attainment of knowledge and growth of positive attitudes towards physical outcomes that accrue from participation in activities but also with the development of knowledge and attitudes conducive to lifelong learning and participation. Also, assembly of experimental, mathematical, and interpersonal skills include collaboration, teamwork, safety, and ethics. In addition, experimental design, data interpretation / analysis and the ability to communicate findings to diverse audience to be essential skills. To aid in the development of appropriate assessments these skills are grouped into three categories, 1) Process of Science and Sports, 2) Communication and Comprehension of Science and Sports, and 3) Community and Practice Aspects of Science and Sports.
Program Educational Objectives (PEO):
