Departmental procedures for conducting assessment
I. Health Education:
In 2011-2012, HPED conducted a pilot study course assessment for HE 102: Critical Issues in Health (revised title: “Health,
Behavior and Society) for a program review of Liberal Arts and Sciences A. A. This course assessment includes:
1. clearly articulated statements of expected student learning outcomes, based on curricular objectives, general education
objectives and course objectives
2. a documented, organized and sustained initial, formative and summative assessment process to evaluate and improve
student learning within each course section, every semester
3. student learning assessment information that is shared and discussed with appropriate constituents of the Liberal Arts and
Sciences A. A. degree program and other programs to improve teaching and learning
II. Massage Therapy:
The Massage Therapy Program conducted its program review process in May of 2010.
Departmental procedures for conducting assessment
III. Physical Education:
The 2011-2012 academic year brought about a change for the HPED physical education program with new full-time faculty. All
PE course descriptions and syllabi were inventoried, reviewed and evaluated in order to centralize course objectives and
student assessment. The AA in Physical Education was revised in order to better articulate with CUNY 4-year PE programs at
Queens College, York College, and Brooklyn College. Two themes emerged from this review: 1) a need to increase focus on
the PE courses that are transferrable to these 4-year programs, and 2) a need to increase the focus on physical fitness in all PE
classes offered. Two new 3-credit courses were created to address these needs: PE-815 Foundations of Physical Education and
PE-825 Introduction to Exercise Science. These courses were approved by the QCC Curriculum Committee and await approval
from the QCC Faculty Senate.
An effort was made to consolidate the list of potential PE majors at QCC. PE faculty met with the Freshman Learning Academy
as well as academic advisors in education. A PE majors club was formed and activities for the 2012-2013 academic year are in
the planning process.
Several PE courses augmented student assessment using Blackboard, Eportfolio, and Service-learning.
Departmental participation in self-study/program review
Program(s): Reviewed HE102
External Agency: Health Education Faculty
Date: 05/22/2012
Conclusions of Self Study: The assessment of HE 102 demonstrates that students develop knowledge
and skills needed for: (1) academic research and lifelong learning; (2)
analytical reasoning to identify issues or problems and evaluate evidence in
order to make informed decisions; and (2) differentiating and making
informed decisions about issues based on multiple value systems
The results suggest that the assessment of HE 102 is an effective measure of
student learning and academic performance.
Conclusions of External Reviewers: To be determined
Action Plan: HE 102 will continue to use research assignments and pencil and paper tests
to assess student learning and they will be updated and enhanced to reflect
the continuous advancement of the study of health.

Conclusions of Self Study: Major conclusions of self study
• Assessment of PE syllabi indicated the need for common learning objectives
and student assessment between courses, as well as course sections.
Common syllabi were developed for several courses and will be posted on the
HPED website.
• Blackboard was used for quizzes and exams, eliminating the issue of taking
a paper test in the gym without a desk.
• Articulation agreements were mapped out for PE programs at Queens
College, York College, Brooklyn College, Hofstra University and Adelphi
University.
Conclusions of External Reviewers: To be determined
Action Plan: • Student reflection through EPortfolio will continue to be used for student
assessment in PE classes
• Student service-learning projects will be incorporated into more PE courses
• Established PE majors will be directly advised in order to streamline the
transfer process.
The PE Majors club will meet in the fall to plan out possible club activities and
events
