Course description: This course is designed to acquaint students with the relationship between
psychological factors and sport, exercise, and physical activity. We will address how these factors influence
participation patterns in sport and exercise and how, in turn, participation in physical activity affects the
psychological makeup of the individual. This course is designed to examine theory, research, and
professional practice related to psychological interventions in sport and exercise.

5. To be able to use a variety of authentic assessments aligned with state and national standards, as well
as state and local program goals, in order to provide relevant feedback to students and shape
instruction.
6. To design and implement a theoretically sound program that clarifies the purpose of school physical
education, articulates the physical educator’s role in the student’s overall education, and seeks to
answer important questions concerning program direction, delivery, and validity.
Conceptual Framework
All activities in the College are guided by the belief that we Prepare All Candidates To Succeed, which
translates into the PACTS acronym. The PACTS acronym also represents the strands for the College of
Education’s Conceptual Framework which serves as a model for how the College of Education prepares all
candidates to succeed in helping urban children learn. This preparation is characterized and distinguished by
five core themes: (P) Professionalism, (A) Assessment, (C) Content knowledge, (T) Technology, and (S)
Standards. The PACTS Conceptual Framework supports the mission statement of the College of Education
[http://www.csu.edu/CollegeOfEducation/] and the mission statement of the university
[http://www.csu.edu/strategicplanningresources/missionstatement.htm].

Attachment B: General instructions for assignments
All of your assignments are due on Fridays by midnight. No late assignments are accepted.
*Students only have to complete 2 of the 3 laboratory experiences. But, each of the 2 completed lab reports
must be submitted by their respective due dates. That is, there are unique due dates for each of the 3
Laboratory Experience Options outlined in the Course Schedule.
Research Article Reviews (2– 25 points each) – See Bb Assignments; Submit to Bb and Livetext*
Each student must locate 2 peer-reviewed journal articles related to topics covered in this course and submit
a typed, double-spaced, 3-page minimum summary in APA format according to the 5th edition for each
article review online by the due dates listed in the tentative course schedule. The reviews will be graded
electronically and returned online. The specifics of the research article reviews are outlined in a separate
handout – see Blackboard Assignments for more information. No late article reviews will be accepted.
Below are the topic assignments for the research article reviews. Each article should be related to the
information presented in the class readings, discussions, or lecture slides. All of the articles must be
approved by me before you begin your review. Each student must submit an abstract of their
article request to me in advance and include the author’s name(s), year of publication (must not be
older than 2000), title of article, name of source (for example, JOPERD, JASP), and abstract. Please
do not email a link; copy and paste the abstract directly into the email.
Review #1 – Personality & Performance OR Motivation & Sport OR Emotion/Anxiety & Sport
Performance
*The article reviews must be submitted to Livetext for purposes of assessment and accreditation for NASPE
and NCATE. Failure to submit to Livetext will result in a zero for the assignment.
7
There are a number of exercises that students must complete throughout the semester. The majority of the
exercises are brief. The purpose of these exercises is to help the students understand how psychological
constructs are examined in sport and physical activity settings. These exercises correspond with the topics
covered in assigned readings and lecture slides so they should be completed according to the tentative course
schedule. Some of the exercises are paper-and-pencil questionnaires. You must upload – that is, save the
document to your hard drive or other floppy disk/flash drive), complete, and return each exercise to me
online. Exercises will be graded electronically and returned online. Late Exercises will not be accepted.
Discussion Board Participation (14 discussions – 10-12 points each) – See Bb Discussion Board*
One of the richest experiences from this class is the interaction among students. In an effort to maintain that
in a virtual classroom setting, there will be one discussion topic held each week using the Bb Discussion
Board. To earn full credit, each student must 1) post their own unique response of at least 100 words and 2)
respond in at least 50 words to at least two other students’ postings for each discussion. As with all written
information in this class, proper grammar is essential. Although you are only technically required to post
three times per discussion board, I encourage you to revisit the boards to read what your classmates or
myself have added. Your initial posting must occur on Tuesday’s by midnight. You are required to utilize
one outside source (other than your textbook) in your original posting, and this source must be cited. A
scoring rubric can be found in Course Documents. Please read it carefully. Discussion Board postings past
the Friday midnight deadline will not be accepted for a grade. Please put your name in the subject
heading of your posting.
In addition to the required discussion boards, there is also a “Please Help!” board set up if and when you
have general questions regarding the class. Responses will be provided with 24 hours. For matters of a
personal nature, please utilize email.
IMPORTANT: Prior to our first Elluminate session, please visit http://elluminate.com/support/ to test your
system.
When checking your grades, go into your gradebook and if you lost points, click on your score to retrieve the
graded document I uploaded.

1. To post your response to the Discussion -
Log onto our Bb course website > click on the Discussion Board link found on the left-hand margin > read
the instructions for the respective discussion > click on the Discussion > click on the Thread icon >
type your name in the subject line and type your response in the Message window > click Submit.
For all Discussion Board assignments, please be honest and respectful of your classmates (and me) when
posting a response. Sharing your honest responses will promote a more interesting discussion - in most
cases, there are no absolute right or wrong answers and you are graded mainly on your involvement in the
discussion. Being respectful will promote a safe environment where students feel that their input is valued
even if it differs from the perspective of others. Here is a link to a website that discusses “netiquette”:

Attachment C: Supplemental course policies
ADDITIONAL NOTES: The following are additional details regarding this class that will help things
operate more smoothly.
• Academic Misconduct - CSU’s policy states that cheating is a violation of the Student Judicial Code.
Academic Misconduct includes, but is not limited to, receipt or transmission of unauthorized aid on
assignments or examinations, plagiarism, unauthorized use of examination materials, encouraging
academic dishonesty, or other forms of dishonesty in academic matters. Academic misconduct in any
portion of the academic work for this course shall be grounds for awarding a zero for that work and
many include assigning a grade of F for the entire course.
• Please speak with the instructor individually regarding any specific concerns or circumstances you are
facing. If possible, do so before any major problems develop with your progress in this course.
• Policy statements that may impact education majors and students in this course, in particular, can be
found online at [http://www.csu.edu/CollegeOfEducation/policy.htm]. Please note: It is the student’s
responsibility to review these published policies.
The grade of I (Incomplete) may be given if course requirements remain incomplete at the end of instruction.
In such cases the instructor will designate a period of one calendar year or less for completion of work. If the
work is completed at the end of the designated period, the instructor will change the incomplete to a letter
grade. If the student fails to complete the required course work by one calendar year, the I grade will
automatically change to a grade of F unless the instructor requests the registrar to extend the I for another
semester. However, there are strict guidelines of when a grade of I can be given. Do not rely on an
incomplete as a way out.
*A W/P will be assigned if the student has a passing grade at the time of withdrawal and a W/F will be
assigned if the student has a failing grade at the time of withdrawal.
Instructor’s Disclaimer: Because all classes are different, the instructor reserves the right to make necessary
changes in the syllabus, at any time during this course, to reflect the learning patterns of the students. All
changes in the syllabus will be announced in class. As mentioned earlier, it is essential you have access to
your csu email as all announcements will be posted to BB and emailed to your csu address.

Attachment F: Additional notes for students taking online courses
The decision to take a class online as opposed to in a traditional classroom should be carefully considered. It
is true that online courses allow a student to be free of time and place. Class occurs when the student logs on
to the computer at his or her convenience. It doesn’t matter if it’s 6:00pm in the computer lab, Sunday
afternoon at the local library, or 3am at home. The class will be there when the student is ready. This is great
for those with full time jobs, families, transportation issues, or other special needs. However advantageous
online courses might be, please consider the following:
• Online courses require extreme self-discipline. One must log on and be prepared to read through
many pages and comments, regularly, spending approximately 4-6 hours per week reading,
preparing, and submitting assignments.
• A great deal of time is spent visiting web sites, reading articles, dealing with technical problems, etc.
Technology is unreliable. The plan to submit homework at the last moment can be defeated with a
busy or down server.
• Sometimes the cyberdog eats your homework. That is no excuse for not submitting homework. You
should always have a copy saved to a disk so you can resubmit. Failure to do so is very risky and
may result in more work and lower grades.
• Most people who have taken online courses will tell you that it is more “labor intensive” than
traditional classes.
• You may find that online courses tend to be accelerated. That is, material is covered at a faster pace.
It is your job to keep up with deadlines.
• If you are not highly motivated, disciplined, and patient, online courses are not the best option. There
are other forms of distance learning that may be more appropriate for you.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Taking Online Courses
Advantages
• The majority of students (79%) take fully online courses because of the convenience of not coming
to campus. Fully online courses consistently have more females.
• You work from home, avoid heavy traffic at rush hours, and save money for childcare.
• On the average, students who enroll in fully online courses are older than those who enroll in web-
enhanced or comparable face-to-face courses. Ageism is not a concern at all. The salience of age is
minimized and older learners can enjoy an equality norm by contributing their experiences to the
community learning.
• Roughly half of students who take fully online courses are working full-time.
• Those who choose fully online courses are not those independent learners, but the high energy
students who succeed in all modalities. A significant and necessary demographic attribute of learners
who can make it in online courses is high energy. If you are highly energetic in learning, chances are
high for you to succeed.
• The majority of faculty indicate that more interaction occurs in their web and web-enhanced courses
than in their comparable face-to-face sections. They also indicate that they feel this interaction is of
higher quality than what they typically see. Take an online course and enjoy more interaction of high
quality than other types of class delivery.
Disadvantages
• On the average, fully online courses have slightly lower success rates and higher withdrawal rates
than either their face-to-face or web-enhanced counterparts.
• Students withdraw from web courses for a variety of reasons with the most reported including
technology issues, an underestimation of the amount of work required for course completion, and
personal conflicts.
• Having considered technology issues, an understanding of the amount of work required for course
completion and personal conflicts, fully online courses have somewhat lower success rates and
higher withdrawal rates than others.
