Student Work
Student Electronic Portfolios demonstrate student reflection on their work at CSUS. Their interpretation and integration of concepts as they apply to themselves in teaching reveals a broad-based understanding of the discipline and the inter-relationship of concepts.
In a PBL experience in KINS 133, students worked as a team to integrate their specific knowledge from KINS 137 to address problems of inclusion at a local elementary school. As a result of student collaboration with school personnel and with CSUS faculty, significant changes in the APE program at the school were made. The multi-media project the students made for their KINS 133 was of such quality that the students presented it, along with Department faculty, at the 2004 AAHPERD conference in New Orleans.
In another PBL experience in KINS 133, students recommended facility changes in a physical education environment. The quality of the project was such that the principal of Franklin High School used the student CD of their work to persuade the board to implement the recommended changes.
