Student Learning Outcomes Action Plan

The sport management faculty is the primary group responsible for reviewing the data and for making recommendations about the effectiveness of the program. Program evaluation in the BS/BA Sport Management program occurs to assist in making decisions about students’ performance in regard to approved learning outcomes and in making decisions about the program’s operational effectiveness in light of the department’s mission and approved strategic plan.

Each academic year, the sport management faculty meets to discuss and develop an annual report summarizing relevant student learning and operational effectiveness data and defining an action plan for program improvement to be employed the following year. The annual report is submitted to the College of Science, Engineering and Education and a presentation is presented each year. Recommendations within the action plan that have budget implications are submitted to the Dean of the College of Science, Engineering and Education. Following the collection of the spring 2015 data and the COSMA site visit there will be additional changes made to the sport management program. As of right now the following recommendations are proposed to be made beginning in the fall of 2016 (note some of these are completed as we are getting ready for the 2016-2017 assessment plan).

Internship Updateso A new internship website was launched for the spring 2016 semester.o A new internship handbook was developed and will be provided to students beginning in

summer of 2016. o A new practicum handbook was developed and will be provided to students beginning in

the summer of 2016. o Two bulletin boards for the internship were developed and implemented during the spring

of 2016. Student may have access to the most upcoming internships as they are given to the internship coordinator.

o A binder of potential internships was created for students to look through at any time. Assessment tools were evaluated and updated to include the following:

o We will use relevant assignments individually, specific to CPC areas. The CPC’s areas will be measured separately.

o The student portfolio was revised to include more guidance by adding specific assignments that must be included in the binder. This revision will assist with SLO #1 for specific content areas. The rubric will be updated for this assignment.

o The benchmarks will be more clearly defined. Assignments will be 80% or greater.o The student presentation was revised to have more specific questions added to assist with

SLO #1 for specific content areas. An updated rubric was developed (see attachment).o We removed the Final Supervisor Evaluation from the assessment tools for SLO#1 as it

did not provide appropriate feedback for that SLO.o We removed the Student Portfolio and Internship Presentation from SLO#2 as it did not

provide appropriate feedback for SLO. We added the lead assignment which may be a better assessment tool.

Assess and determine ways we could improve on courses and/or assignments that are not meeting the 80% criterion.

o SPTM 288 – Sport Communication – Strategic Communication Plano SPTM 453 – Diversity in Sport – Case Study

21

Curriculum recommendations came from the Advisory Board Meeting that met in the fall of 2015. Those recommendations include the following:

o Change SPTM 283 from 1-credit hour to 3-credit hours.o Require either SPTM 302 or 303 NOT require both. o Make the business electives more targeted – MKTG 201, MNGT 201, ECON 175o We will add a CIS 151 – Computer Applications in Business course to assess SL) #3

related to technology. We will be removing SPTM 353 since it is not required by all majors.

o Within the Recreational Sports Track we are considering offering a general 3-credit hour course that would be campus recreation based. This course would be a 200 level course. The course would replace the KIN 234 – Officiating Volleyball (1 hour) and SPTM 263 – Outdoor Education (2 hours)

o The SPTM 288 – Sport Communication course will be a major requirement (as it is now) and the tracks will change from 15 hours to 18 hours. This was a recommendation of the self-study review board. We would like to note this course was always a requirement of all majors but was located with each track.

o Consider adding the research course that was developed.o Other areas of concern as we begin to really look into making these changes.

Advisory Board Updateso We will have two advisory board meetings a year.o We will add additional alumni and individuals outside of southeaster Indiana.

Strategic Plano We provided timeframes in the action plans to be evaluated at least annually. o We provided a narrative that indicates how the business environment analysis is being

used to impact decision-making in the strategic planning process.o We have added a strategy to address International Cooperation to the strategic plan. We

will continue to work towards the goal of expanding and enhancing student learning and engagement.

Faculty Lineso We will continue to submit a request for additional positions each academic year with the

assistance of the Enrollment Management Plan.

Strategy 2.5 – The KS Department will take advantage of grant opportunities that focus on recruitment and retention strategies.

To submit an Innovation grant. To expand on the Majors as Home initiative to include programs and services that will attract and

maintain those students entering the Department of Kinesiology and Sport.

OG #2 – we will focus on strategy 3.3 of the strategic plan to increase the number of students within the Sport Management Club

For the 2016-2017 academic year the Sport Management faculty must work on putting together higher criterion for OG #2 and OG #5 in order to take the Sport Management program to the next level.

o We will continue to have bi-weekly meetings in working through these changes. We will continue to collect data for the 2016-2017 academic year and make changes to the criterion following the review of our self-study.

The Sport Management faculty will work on the deficiencies mentioned in the “Summary of Operational Effectiveness Goals”.

o The Sport Management Club leadership team will be the key to the success of getting more students into the club. The Sport Management Club leadership team will be encouraged to do the following:

Send an email to all students within the Kinesiology and Sport Department letting students know about the club.

Attend classes to let students know about the Sport Management Club. Develop a plan of events prior to the academic year beginning. Continue to encourage students to join their Facebook page. Encourage to develop a Twitter account.

Summary Narrative

The strategic plan is developed every five years but assessment results are collected on a yearly basis. The five student learning and operational effectiveness outcomes are addressed in the strategic plan so that initiatives may be added on a yearly basis. An annual strategy implementation plan is developed and a budget request is put forth. Funding is provided to implement strategies that will assist with outcome assessment and completion of strategic plan. An analysis of assessment results provides a yearly progress report.

Directions

Each week, a student group will be assigned the responsibility for leading class discussion over an aspect of their choosing relating to the broad topic that is covered in class lecture. The discussion can focus on any topic(s) of your choosing that in a broader context is connected to the course material, but MUST address the topic from a variety of global viewpoints and perspectives (please reference example discussion given by Dr. Anderson the second week of the course).

The week before you are scheduled to lead the discussion, you will need to submit at least one primary academic sourced article to Dr. Anderson for distribution to the class for use in the following week’s discussion. You are free to submit articles from other sources (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc.) but those must be in addition to your primary source article, and not in place of it.

You are free to utilize media sources (video clips, documentaries, etc.) when planning your class discussion as well. However, please be confident of your sources applicability to your chosen topic(s) and aware of appropriate time constraints to ensure that the source is utilized in the discussion appropriately.

The Discussion Lead assignment is worth a total of 50 points based upon the appropriateness of your topic, overall presentation, and quality of sources used.

A detailed grading rubric will be distributed in class.

If you have any questions concerning the assignment after the in-class example is provided, please contact Dr. Anderson.

SPTM 453 case study DirectionsA case study can be defined as the study of an individual unit or social group in order to compare a larger group to that unit or a particular instance of something for use in the illustration of a more general principle.

For this assignment, you will develop a preliminary illustrative case study that seeks to utilize a few (at least 2) instances of an event to show what an overall situation is like (illustrate). This case study should revolve around one of the issues of diversity in sport that will be investigated throughout this course (see syllabus). Utilizing your chosen issue, you will observe participants within an active sporting environment, paying careful attention to their intra/interpersonal communications and interactions, in an effort to determine how impactful the diversity issue may be within that particular environment. Environments for study may include: professional sport (participants/spectators), collegiate sport (participants/spectators), recreational sport (intramurals, club sports, informal sport participants), or other areas as approved by Dr. Anderson.

Your study should be supported by applicable background research outlining the importance of the diversity issue that is being studied and the appropriateness of the environment in which the issue is being studied. This background material will help to explain to the reader why your case study was undertaken and the significance of the environment and diversity issue investigated.

Case studies will not have a specific minimum number of pages that must be written, however these assignments should be complete enough to establish the justification of the study and explain the results of the investigation, including the use of field notes and observations where appropriate. Studies should be written according to APA 6th Edition style requirements.

A detailed grading rubric will be made available to students later in the course.

Studies will be submitted via Blackboard Assignment by 5:00 PM CDT on the stated due date in the syllabus. Late submissions will not be graded.
