Undergraduate Study in Kinesiology
The Physical Education Licensure option prepares a student to
teach physical education in the public or private school settings
in elementary, middle school, or senior high school programs.
Students who are also interested in preparation for coaching or
for teaching additional subject areas can do so by completing
appropriate coursework. Visit with an academic advisor if you
are interested in additional endorsements.
Coursework includes:
- motor learning and control
- biomechanical aspects of human movement
- physiology of exercise
- sport history
- methods of teaching physical education and dance
- adapted physical education
- physical education curriculum design and program organization
- educational psychology
- muticultural awareness and non-sexism in the classroom
- professional activity/skills classes including aquatics, tumbling
and gymnastics, team sports, individual sports, dance, and more...
Field experience:
Student teaching is required for all students who wish to prepare
as teachers. This field experience, in which the student teaches
in real classrooms under the guidance of a licensed teacher, ranges
from 12 to 16 weeks in length with opportunites in both smaller
and larger school systems, rural, urban, and overseas settings.
