This course equips physical education (PE) teachers with advanced pedagogical skills and strategies for PE. This course emphasizes student engagement and learning enhancement from early childhood to grade 12 through innovative curriculum development and teaching methods. By covering technology integration, inclusive practices, contemporary theories, and assessment techniques, this course wm equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to create and evaluate comprehensive PE programs that cater to diverse student needs, thereby promoting lifelong physical wellness.

This course is designed to equip current physical education (PE) teachers with advanced, innovative techniques and strategies for monitoring and evaluating student progress within the K-12 PE education setting. Statistical software tools (e.g., Excel, SPSS, R) are integral for conducting data analysis in this course.

Designed to study lifetime sports such as tennis, archery, golf, swimming, badminton, and many others in which one may participate throughout life.

PE 522 Motor Behavior This graduate-level course explores the intricate relationship between the human brain, body, and behavior as it pertains to motor skills acquisition, control, learning, and performance across the lifespan. Through lectures, discussions, readings, and practical applications, students will investigate contemporary theories of motor control and the cognitive, associative, and autonomous stages of motor learning. Topics include the progression of motor skills from infancy to adulthood, expert performance characteristics, and factors influencing skill acquisition. Students will also examine neurodevelopmental and acquired motor disorders and learn principles of motor rehabilitation and intervention strategies. Practical applications will encompass coaching, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and human-computer interaction design. By critically analyzing research literature and studying case studies, students will deepen their understanding of motor behavior phenomena. By the course's end, students will possess analytical skills and a theoretical foundation necessary to address complex issues related to motor behavior across diverse oootdations and contexts.

Study of the organizational structure of physical education in two and four year colleges. The course will cover theory, professional preparation and practices and administration. The course will show how administrative theories are developed. It will dwell on the broad process of administration that might be designed as decision making, communicating, activating, planning and evaluating.

Study and application of research techniques to selected problems in health, physical education, and recreation.

In-depth study of the application of mechanical principles to athletic performance. The study will make application of laws of balance, motion, force, work and energy, to track and field, baseball, football, swimming, diving, gymnastics, basketball, golf, and tennis.

Lectures, discussions and experiments dealing with the structure, function and metabolism of skeletal and cardiac muscles Emphasis on correlating muscle function with metabolic events. The biochemical basis of adaptation of muscle function is considered.

Implementation of individual student research project under the guidance of an advisor.

Opportunity for students to undertake independent study and research under the direction of a faculty member. The student will submit a written report and may be asked to stand a comprehensive examination of his work.
