Evidence of Learning Opportunity (7.01.01) How are students given opportunities to show they have learned the outcome?
REC 165 Assignments: Health Fair Assignment and Leisure Motivation Questionnaire
The health fair assignment addresses the 7.01 learning outcome standard. Health and wellness is one of the three pillars of parks and recreation that the NRPA promotes. The assignment covers standard 7.01a, 7.01b , and 7.01c.
The Leisure Motivation Questionnaire Assignment helps meet standard 7.01c. We believe that student need to learn about their own leisure motivation and how they fit into their own lives before they can work in the parks and recreation and instruct others about the benefits of quality leisure in their own lives.

Simply write down your answers to the 40 questions. Then score your responses using the key below. Each category has eight questions. The numbers listed in each category represent the item number in the LMQ questionnaire. Add your individual responses for each question and then total all items for each category. The lowest score per category is 8 and the highest is 40. The direction that you score high or low in each category will indicate your motivation for that specific category. Your scores are not good or bad they reflect your level of response to each motivator. The numbers shown below are the question numbers on the LMQ questionnaire. Add your scores for each answer for each category. Please answer all questions.

Leisure Motivation Questionnaire (LMQ)
This addresses the reasons why you enjoy participating in leisure activities. We define leisure activities as non-work activities that are freely chosen without obligation to participate or any expectations of extrinsic rewards, such as money or praise. Leisure pursuits can be both active and passive and encompasses everything from sports to social activities and watching television.
Performance Measure (7.01.02) What is the method by which the outcome is being measured? How are students showing that they are learning the outcome? Exam questions, assignment rubrics, portfolios, alumni surveys, etc.
REC 165: For the assignments in REC 165 for learning outcome 7.01, the assessments were created by a Dr. Confer, Dr. Pinckney and Dr. Wickham. After each semester the course is offered, assignments are reexamined to determine their continued effectives at achieving the desired learning outcomes goals. The assignments are used strictly to assess student learning in the areas of management skill preparation in the parks and recreation profession.
Performance levels/metrics: What is the level of compliance by which the program agrees the standard has been met? (i.e. 80% of the students will get a score of 80% or higher on the assignment)
For most major assignments/projects and exams we want two-thirds of the students to achieve a “B” or higher for their grade. A grade of 80% or higher is needed to get a “B” at CAL U of PA.
Assessment Results (7.01.03) Based on the performance levels/metrics set above, at the end of the semester, what were the results?
REC 165: The two assignments used for learning outcome 7.01 that every Parks and Recreation major completes when they enroll in REC 165. These assignments absolutely aid students in understanding the nature and scope of the profession and core foundations of health and wellness that the modern parks and recreation system rests upon. See assignment evidence of measures for learning outcome 7.01. Also, tables provided below are included as evidence of student achievement related to learning outcome 7.01. A total of 90% of the students received a “B” or higher for the assignments. Students are asked to discuss their answers on paper and in class as a part of a discussion on the assignments in REC 165.

Evidence of Programmatic Decisions (7.01.04) Based on the assessment results above, how is the program using the results to drive their curricular decisions?
REC 165: The Parks and Recreation Management program uses the two assignments under 7.01 to ensure students graduating from the program understand the core elements within standard 7.01. Through faculty program meetings that discuss student results in the classroom, faculty in the Parks and Recreation Management program believe that students need to be exposed to a variety of class assignments. Student achievement on class assignments seen above in tables are reviewed as part of the decision making process. Students tend to perform well on the written assignments.
