MEMORANDUM

As you are aware, the Academic Planning Committee has deferred 

consideration of the proposed revisions in the Undergraduate Program of 

the

Department

of Kinesiology pending an external review of the program 

and the Department. This postponement has occasioned some difficulties

for the Department's future scheduling; and the Chairman of the Department

has requested 

through Dean Brown, that some courses which were included in

the program to accommodate recent additions to the faculty of the Department

should be forwarded to Senate without awaiting the external review. This

request was made to the Academic Planning Committee, which has 

referred

it

to the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies. 

SOUS has already examined the Kinesiology proposal, both as 

a whole and course by course, and recommended approval. The courses 

concerned, Kinesiology 430, 442 and 

466, may

therefore be forwarded to 

Senate

as separate coi.n'ses in

the

normal

way.

JUSTIFICATION 

A.

What 

is the detailed description of the course including differentiation 

from lower level courses, from similar courses in the same 

department and from courses in other departments in the University? 

This course will be directed toward the question of how skillsmay be 

taught most effectively and will not be concerned with the idea of education 

through the medium of skill trainin 

g

. Skills will be considered in a general 

sense but the emphasis will be on skills whlch.are predominantly motor in 

nature. The University at this time does not offer such a course. 

B.

What is the range of topics that may be dealt with in the course? 

Phases of skill learning 

Taxonomy of skills 

Transfer of learning 

Feedback 

and learning 

Retention 

Cognitive set and skill learning 

Motivation and learning 

Developmental aspects of skill learning 

Individual differences 

Skills and the aged 

Stress and learning

C.

How does this course fit the goals of the department? 

Since this course 

will be concerned with the general principles 

Involved 

In the

development of movener.t skills it Is compatible 

with the goals of the Kinesiology Department. 

D.

How does this course affect degree requirements? 

Optional Course 

E.

What are the calendar changes necessary to reflect the addition 

of this course? 

Addition of *course listing 

F.

What course, if any, is being dropped from the calendar if this 

course is approved? 

None 

C. What is the nature of student demand for this course? 

The course will be useful to anyone who will be involved in teaching 

or training programs. Student demand for such a course Is high. 

H. Other reasons for introducing the course. 

The course will be of practical use to students but because the material 

will be based on current theories of Performance rather than on empirically 

derived practice the basic material will provide a basis for constant revision 

as opposed to obsolescence.
