10. Plans for Improvement
Program Review Data:
KINE SLO A was assessed by students performing a workout monitoring target heart rate in KINE 24C Swim for fitness. 100% of the students passed with advancing scores. However only 25% of students passed with proficiency or mastery. KINE SLO B and PE SLO E could not be assessed due to how they were written. The SLO's will be rewritten by faculty. Kinesiology SLO C and PE SLO ABD were assessed using embedded questions in the KINE 01 course. The students were given seven multiple choice questions and 49% of the students passed with 70% or greater. KINE SLO C was assessed by determining the number of CCCAA decorum violations in the ATHL 01J water polo course a yellow or red card would demonstrate lack of respect for rules, principles, and fair play. During the fall of 2015 a total of 2 red cards and 1 yellow card were earned.
The benchmark of 70% of students scoring a 70% or better on the assessment for KINE SLO C and PE SLO A, B, D, was not met since only 49% of students answered the questions. However results may have been affected by the test given at the end of the semester not immediately followed after the material was covered. The benchmark for KINE SLO A was set at 70% and 100% of the students passed with advancing scores. However only 25% of the students passed with proficent or mastery scores with the benchmark set at 70%. Therefore the benchmark was not met. The benchmark for KINE SLO C was set at 100% and was not met since there were three decorum violations that demonstrated students did not have respect for the rules and fairplay.
Yes the courses transfer to four year institutions.
The SLO's for both the kinesiology program and physical education program will be examined by faculty and look to be edited to better align with the courses. Faculty will also discuss at meetings this fall how to make improvements in the courses to increase student understanding and application.
