Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation
In this project, micro field placement (variable; ~1-4 hrs/ week or ~15-60 hrs/term) based course, students will work in small interdisciplinary teams to analyze a complex problem and propose a community led initiative to address a real-world issue and context. Students will apply theoretical knowledge and collaborate with community partners to address practical challenges. Students will present their practical understanding showcasing their ideas, designs of implementation and evaluation strategies with the community partner. Students will be asked to draw connections between their theoretical course learnings and the practical application of skills through discussion of proposed solutions with the community partner, team members, and other course participants. With the support of the Course Instructor, Faculty Experiential Lead, and Community Partners, students will visualize, identify, and articulate how the practical application of their knowledge altered their self-efficacy in the competency areas required of the experience. Notes: Classroom/tutorial sessions are variable per week in addition to micro in field learning experiences scheduled for each iteration of the course. Prerequisite: Successful completion of KRLS 291.
