  1. Health and Physical activity courses in the General Education Curriculum:Where we have been and where we are going 2011 CSKLS Presentation

  2. Physical Activity Over a Life Span • Individuals become increasingly less active as they age. The largest decline from ages 15 thru 25.

  3. Fruit and Vegetable ConsumptionUnited States Significant Drop in Fruit and vegetable consumption in ages 17 thru 34

  4. Were have we Been: Physical activity in the Gen Ed 2011 CSKLS Presentation

  5. Swedish GymnasticsHealth, Strength and Physical Development Johann GutMuths (1759-1839) Dudley Sargent, (1849 – 1924)

  6. British SportSocial, Moral and Physical Development Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762) Charles Kingsley (1850) John Williams (1866)

  7. Introduction of Physical Education into the college curriculum • (1861)Dr. Edward Hitchcock (a geologist) taught the first college course in physical fitness and hygiene education.

  8. General Education RequirementsGER FirstGER Expanded GER 1931 Chicago University Humanities, Social Sciences, Biological Sciences Physical Sciences • 1917 Columbia University Implements two courses • Introduction to Contemporary Civilization • General Honors

  9. GER Physical Activity 1930 Basic Instruction Program (BIP) 1956 President Eisenhower council on youth fitness Focus on Strength and Conditioning in the GER • -British sport model was the trend with team sports being the focus. • Jesse Williams • “unified human being” approach.

  10. The GER 1980 and 1990s Conceptual Courses Basic Instruction Program More student choice - scuba diving - rock climbing - skiing etc.. • Health Related Fitness (HRF) courses that were more theoretically based • Lectures • Labs

  11. Percentage of Institutions with Required Physical Activity for graduation

  12. Research into effectiveness of University health courses • Changes in • Knowledge • Attitudes • Behaviors • Dale and Corbin (2000) • Pearman ,Valois, Sargent, Saunders, Drane, Macera, (1997) • (HRF) better than APE in long term promotion of physical activity • Adams and Brynteson (1995)

  13. Trend to online HRF courses2 yrvs 4 yr Institutions Online and Web-enhanced

  14. Were are we going: Challenges and Opportunities 2011 CSKLS Presentation

  15. Where are we goingChallenges and opportunities • 1.Improving health status of our college student population • 2. Technology in the class room • 3, Financial

  16. Evidenced based programs for physical activity components of the Gen Ed (Fisher 2003) • Behavior management skills • Incorporate existing campus and community programs and facilities in courses • Physical activity classes should allow for variation in skill, fitness and experience • Conceptual courses should allow for some choice of content on broad topics • Identify barriers to exercise and help students overcome these barriers

  17. Technology and Health Behaviors

  18. Interactive Technology Or Persuasive technology

  19. Students who took an online class in a given year

  20. Individual learner effects of Online classes Pros Cons Technical difficulties Low learner motivation Sense of isolation Poor learner readiness Lack of contact with teacher Low retention rates (Coomey & Stephenson, 2001 • more engagement with content • greater learner motivation • increased Personal interaction with the instructor • Greater control over the learning process • Greater student interaction (average 1 hr class of 50 illicits responses from 7 students) • More time for reflective responses • (Roblyer & Marshall, 2003).

  21. Latest instructional technology

  22. Cautions with Technology • Buschner (2006) believes that no data exist to support the notion that online HRF courses result in student learning. • Buschner (2006) states that online physical education is still at the "trial and error stage and should be undertaken with prudence"

  23. Financial stress • University cut backs effecting the Gen Ed programs

  24. High and low of required Physical activity in GEN Ed

  25. Two suggestions for CSKLS • Research for evidence based strategies to promote health behaviors in college populations • Do our Physical activity programs still effect long term behavior change • Effective Use of physical activity Technologies in our programs • Effective online or web-enanced educational technologies • Need for a comprehensive defense of the Kinesiology courses in Gen Ed programs • Harmonizes the following literature • Health and kinesiology research • Government initiatives and programs • Faith based literature and theology promoting body care programs
