“…Kinesiology is a diverse field based on the scientific understanding of health and body in motion; it is centered on a core ideology of the physical activity. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, kinesiology is a field that is made for interdisciplinary collaboration [4,5,6,11]. Kinesiology is an academic discipline whose content can be used to support professions and to solve important issues of the public health.…”

Background and Study Aim. The study intends to estimate the theoretical and applied perspectives of the Kinesiology discipline in the field of Sport and Physical Education science. Material and Methods. A total number of 127 subjects (students of the Physical Education and Sport Department in the University of Pitești) participated in this research. There are 59 students in Physical Education and Sport (PES), 37 in Sport and Motor Performance (SMP) and 31 in Physical Education and Sport Conversion (PESC). The research was conducted during COVID-19 pandemic, in the academic year 2021-2022. The teaching and evaluation activity in the Kinesiology discipline was carried out online by means of Zoom program. The monitoring of the teaching activity was done with the help of the university e-learning platform. The opinions of the subjects on the discipline taught and the assessment of the teaching staff by the students were analyzed using Google Forms questionnaire. The fundamental basic knowledge in Kinesiology was evaluated using the following indicators: S1 (periodically evaluated activities) = A1 (40%) +A2 (20%), final evaluation (FE) – examination (40%), S2 – sum of the fractions of grade obtained at the periodic evaluations and those from the final verification. Results. The analysis of the subjects’ opinions regarding the topic of the discipline taught reveals 5% moderate opinions, 16% - good and 79% very good ones. The evaluation of the basic fundamental knowledge in Kinesiology highlights the following values of the indicators: A1 (40%) – an average of 8.05 points between groups (p<0.01); A2 (20%) - an average of 7.95 points (p>0.05); S1 – an average of 4.81 points (p<0.05). The final evaluation (40%) in the exam shows an average of 3.36 points (p<0.01); S2 has 8.17 points (p<0.01); the final grade between groups has an average of 8.29 points, with differences of rounding in student’s favor (p<0.05). The analysis of students’ opinions concerning the teaching activity in Kinesiology discipline shows that 76% rate it as excellent, 14% - very good, 6.7% - good, 1.9% - satisfactory and 1.4% unsatisfactory (extracurricular activity). Conclusions. There were shown the subjects’ opinions on the Kinesiology discipline topics and the weight of meeting the minimum and maximum performance standards. The preferred or practiced sports chosen in the researched study programs were presented. The results of the evaluation of the basic fundamental knowledge highlight the value of the averages between groups for the evaluated indicators. These results also reveal the opinions of the students about the didactic activity carried out by the professor in the discipline studied.

“…Moreover, leading discussions and inquiry sessions to further understand the various definitions will provide students a better foundation for developing their own customized qualitative movement diagnosis process. Additionally, the curriculum will include the Bice et al [2] article to provide students a richer context outlining the barriers to collaboration; a situation real and present in kinesiology. Exploring these barriers to collaboration will round out the curriculum as it may be easily related to Forsher's [10] famous letter encouraging the construction of edifices versus more bricks.…”

“…Incorporating Bice et al [2] into the SPSC 3154 course content will provide students with a more comprehensive context before they begin the process of identifying and integrating the various kinesiology sub-disciplines. The richness for the students comes not in creating the perfect process, but in an evidence-based attempt to integrate the varied academic fields of kinesiology to examine human movement, provide instruction, and help humans move better while gleaning health-related improvements.…”

“…Additionally, as these diverse fields are applied to understanding better the factors related to human physical activity, one can explore the cellular level physiology, human segmental or whole body movements, and/or the sociocultural and psychosocial interactions within a population or community engaging in sport, exercise, or physical activity. As noted by Bice et al [2], PE/K is a field of melding health-related individuals with diverse areas of scholarly interests and teaching foci. The Douglas College Sport Science Department is a microcosm of what is represented in the broader PE/K field, with varied expertise across diverse academic areas, but keeping exercise, human movement skills, and health at the core of the three sport science programs.…”

“…Furthermore, to build on their meta-cognition and their collaboration skills, students were in peer teams of three to further questions and discuss with each other the initial approaches to their analysis process development. As noted by Bice et al [2], this approach cognitively pushes students outside their comfortable boundaries of one sub-discipline per course and into a puzzling scenario of exploration.…”

Drawing on the contextual history of the Douglas College Sport Science Department (British Columbia, Canada) combined with the shifting landscape of physical education/kinesiology, this article traces the development of an integrated movement analysis course. Specifically, the developed curriculum is detailed and reflection given on the pragmatic, inquiry-based approach used to develop a course curriculum intended to integrate various kinesiology sub-disciplines. The article explores the combined use of several frameworks to promote meta-cognition and peer-collaboration as students meet the learning outcomes of creating their own evidence-based, intradisciplinary process to analyze movement.Corresponding author: Lara M.

In this article, we present a rationale for infusing adaptive, complexity, and transformational leadership theories into the kinesiology leader’s praxis. Understanding and incorporating these theories will prepare kinesiology leaders to respond to the emerging trends influencing the future of higher education and work leading into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Specifically, we discuss the impact of the pandemic, which has transformed the way students and academics approach curriculum and pedagogy. We conclude the article with a discussion of the future of higher education and work and explore ways to cultivate kinesiology leadership approaches for anticipatory thinking and planning to respond to the transformation occurring in our field.
