Department of Kinesiology Learning Outcomes: In the Kinesiology Department, Learning Outcomes comprise a common framework for each student as they matriculate through Iowa State University. The learning outcomes emphasized in academic coursework and, more specifically, in this athletic training course are listed below. Learning in some of these outcomes occurs both in and outside the Iowa State University experience. 1. Communication. Uses clear and effective written, oral, visual, and electronic (WOVE) communication techniques to foster inquiry, collaboration, and engagement in physical activity and health related settings. 2. Lifelong learning, assessment, and self reflection. Analyzes and evaluates one s own knowledge, abilities and actions relative to professional standards, seeks opportunities to grow professionally and utilizes self assessment and assessment of others to foster physical, cognitive, social, and emotional well being. 3. Content knowledge, discovery, and critical thinking. Understands fundamental concepts of physical activity and health, conducts scientific inquiry, and applies critical thinking to solve problems from personal, scholarly, and professional perspectives. 4. Ethics, diversity, and social justice. Demonstrates leadership and social responsibility to improve quality of life for others and ensures equitable access for diverse groups by creating appropriate environments to initiate and maintain a physically active, healthy lifestyle. Character Expectations: 1. Integrity has been identified as the single most important characteristic of a scholar. One goal of your education is to develop professional and scholarly characteristics. Integrity includes ethical behavior like academic honesty. Academic honesty is essential to the goals of education and enhances the spirit of learning and teaching. (Citizenship, Lifelong Learning, Diversity). 2. Commitment to your education and profession is also an important part of your character. In order to learn you must give effort toward learning. Learning is your goal (not just a grade). You will be treated with respect, but your behavior must be responsible and respectful. This is demonstrated by not talking while someone else has the floor, by attendance, promptness (in attendance and work habits), by accepting responsibility for learning and your share of class participation.
