How student outcomes will be assessed.
The Martial Arts Coordinator has created a Martial Arts Accreditation
Subcommittee. Those students on track to receive a martial arts certificate will be
readily identified to all martial arts program instructors and the aforementioned
subcommittee. These instructors comprise a committee that will collectively track
the students progress through the program in the following ways:
- During the practicum, instructors will be able to assess and ensure standards of
technical skill level. Additionally, the committee will use student goals and a
student feedback questionnaire to ensure students needs are met.
- Standardized tests and academic papers will be course embedded assessments.
- A graduate follow-up will be achieved with a program exit interview.
- Practicum and Internship evaluations will be filled out by the field work
supervisor.
- Employer survey for graduates.
- The practicum teaching experience can be assessed by utilizing existing Elective
Program evaluation tools.
- Minimum GPA of 2.7 for core course work will be required.
Student population to be served.
- Students who intend to pursue a full or part-time professional position
in the martial arts industry, including, but not limited to: Instruction
for adult and youth programs, supply business/ merchandising, facility
management, marketing, professional journals, magazines, tournaments/event
management.
- Any student who has no current professional ambitions, but wants to
broaden/deepen his/her martial arts experience by studying fields that form the
foundation of Kinesiology. Moreover a certificate would motivate and intrinsically
reward students who undertake certificate accreditation.
- Students with or without martial arts experience seeking additional challenges and
opportunities for teaching martial arts within the Indiana University program or
local community, or industry as a whole.
- Students with demonstrated motivation and personal self-discipline to strive for
and be awarded an accreditation certificate for teaching the martial arts
discipline within their area of expertise.
- Within the martial arts field, this program would become a resource for
accreditation for existing professionals. New students could be attracted to
Indiana University for such a purpose.
- Martial Arts Accreditation Certificate program would draw students from the entire
university including but not limited to, Continuing Education, new freshman, Asian
Studies, Education, and Sport Management.
