Milt described various concepts their HKIN faculty are proposing such as
course development – Ethics in Sport, Tourism in Sport, Drug Awareness
seminars and the Olympic experience, etc.
Question: can we organize a collective effort to capture some of this
Olympic hype?
Question: is this something as a group that we can consider (like
canceling classes)?
 Issues of Olympic acceptance in the Kootneys
Communities being able to host teams (either sport specific) – various
levels of support all over the province
Canada Games – joint with Malaspina (?) and Yukon College, partnership
for training volunteers
Fitness testing in the Elementary schools using the college students,
based on the Olympic events

Block Transfer
- Memorandum Of Understanding between Capilano College (Milt Williams)
and Greg Anderson of UCFV (room for approximately 85 students into 3rd
year)
- Greg is also working with Sandi Lavery at COTR, but more work is needed
to match up course titles and numbers
- Date for application to UCFV is October 1st (screening on March 1st, letters
of acceptance on May 1st) – means that UCFV wants students to wait until
early in 2nd year to apply for admissions.
- Greg provided a handout of the Capilano College and UCFV curriculum
and how the transfer will work.
- Handout is an example of how the block transfer agreements can be set
up and used as a template for other institutes.
- Peter Rehor – discussion on advisory and articulation
- Activity Class discussion – performance analysis and pedagogy (how to
find the balance between teaching basic skills (sport skills vs. movement
skills), how to match the requirements or the BCTF, and biomechanics,
etc.)
-
Action Item – Greg to send KPE 220 and KPE 221 course outline to all
members
THE HEALTH EDUCATORS GROUP: Greg Anderson (UCFV) provided the
committee an outline of Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology, Nursing, and
Biology articulation – common grid for all the health courses. Greg is acting
as a consultant on this project.
2
 Issues – nursing articulation, PE/HK programs are completely
separate, not all institutions are represented (especially all of the
universities)
 This grid is done incorrectly, but is the issue: “can this grid
be done correctly”?
o Action Item – Greg to draft a letter for this HEG expressing our
collective PE/HK issues (after reviewing the grid, some institutions
are not well-represented or miss-represented, that PE/HK should
not be included in the nursing classes)

Peter Moyls commented that there should be a template for
nursing and a separate template for HK, and then when both
of these are concluded, it should be examined to see how
they might both match up.
New Degree Udates:
Alison Gill - Douglas College - BPECoaching degree

-
Value Orientations – combines Ecological Validity and Social
Reconstruction
 Behavioral Psychology (structure the curriculum around changing
behavior) – Adoption and Adherence (Stages of Change model)
Laddering of diploma into their own Degree (Sport and Fitness Leadership
Applied Degree – start of 2008)
Discussion of new facilities and other partnerships (contributing
partnerships) – new facilities to be built @ 100million dollars from Justice
Institute, corporate sponsorship, etc.
Issues:
 Does the offerings conceptually fit into health rather than PE/HK?
 Where graduates will fit? Private sector and corporate wellness
areas (comprehensive programming)
 UVIC issues?
Peter Moyls - Thompson Rivers University
- Students complete 1st and 2nd year and then move into 3rd year into
Elementary Education (you still can teach Secondary education with an
Elementary Education degree)
- Core would be in the first 2 years
- Need health issues course
- Second teaching concentration is not a problem
- Must add 6 courses at the upper levels
- Ed. Degree existing already at TRU and make it into a B.Ed. degree
- Extra credits are usually taken because of the second teaching
concentration
Greg Anderson (UCFV) Consultant for UBC Okanagan curriculum development
model – BHK degree (DRAFT/UNOFFICIAL ONLY)
- Mixture of medicine (exercise prescription) and health model
- Sally Stewart is doing the consultation at the UBCO campus and Peter
writing the curriculum off-campus
- Currently/tentatively 2 streams: Health Promotion, Clinical Exercise
Physiology (ACSM stream) (or clinic exercise prescription)
 Raising the level of professionalism with the ability to bill MSP (as a
valid service provider)
- Common core of courses (Bachelor of HK and taking HK core courses) –
not necessarily the health, nursing, etc. students
 UBC core is vital to our HK field (supported unanimously by the
BCPEKA), fits well with other provinces
 Professional practice is built into 3rd and 4th year
 Core fits with pedagogical stream for students moving into
education
- Working with nursing, social work, and biology dept. (and mixing cohorts
and increase integration)
- Sept. 2007 to start a cohort – 40 students in first year of offering
4
-
Logistics are still very unknown (due to collective agreement and physical
space)
Mike Armstrong - Malaspina University College – P.E. Degree
- 2 options at Malaspina:
 Double minor with a BA (PE is one of the minor) and then
students enter the PDP
 In year 3 you switch to a concurrent degree: BEd. And BA with
a double minor in PE
- Discussion about internships, co-op programs, practicum programs
- Information about the Major in PE
- Variety of Analysis Courses – 9 in total (5 required categories and then 4
optional) – 28 hours per analysis course = 1 credit
- Philosophy is “applied leadership” (especially with the internships)
- Students tend to move on to UVIC instead of UBC
- Question of sport tourism
- Brief review of Malaspina PE Major Full Program Proposal
Exercise Physiology – HKIN 275 Discussion:
- Pre-requisites: basic math skills (Principles of Math 11 will be sufficient),
computer issues (especially with excel)
- Equipment issues: Monarch bike (ergonometer), HR, blood pressure, sit
& reach, vertical jump, hand grip dynamometer, grid on a wall, goniometer
- Action item: Greg will convert the KPE 163 lab manual to PDF and
send it electronically to the group
- Risk Management Discussion:
- Waiver forms (or permission forms) for labs – example taking skin fold
measurements – is this an issue in institutions Par-Q and waiver form
(with collection of data)  inform the students about the choices they have
(alternate data collection, private data collection, etc.)
 Create a bank of data for students with medical issues
 Medical history form for all students in the program
 Keep forms on file during the semester
-
Action item: Milton will follow-up with Romeo about a lab manual for the
UBC Exercise Physiology course
Health Policy and Society - UBC HK 261
AJ Patel discussed the UBC course – Canadian health care, social
determinants of health, and Canadian sport policy instead of the original
course of Canadian Sport System
- Articulation issues with UBC and other institutions teaching the former
course
- Action item: Milton will ask Romeo Chua from UBC to confirm what
content will be needed to be changed to maintain transfer/articulation
5
Milt discussed the fact that this is still a policy course. Articulation is based on
courses fulfilling an equivalent role in the curriculum, not on having equivalent
content. HKIN 261, in either the new or old format, is still a "policy" course
and will fulfill that role.
Physical Education Discussion … what is the future and where will our
grads go?
At present there is no physical education representative at the Ministry of
Advanced Education. Milt informed the group that he had been trying to get a
representative to attend the meeting so that the committee could discuss their
concerns. Milt was contacted by Finola Finlay (BCCAT). Finola forwarded
Kristin Mimick as a contact in the Ministry.
Kristin Mimick had explained to Finola “that the curriculum, which is a K-7
curriculum, is not yet developed. Kristin is very keen to connect with the Phys
Ed and Kinesiology Articulation Committee, since she understands what an
important group this is for the future of this curriculum and its delivery. Kristin
has some ideas about ways of ensuring good communication between the
Ministry and the articulation committee.”

Ministry of Health seems to be more proactive about issues of youth
activity, childhood obesity, childhood diabetes, inactivity, etc.
“The Learning Roundtable” – is there a post-secondary representative with
PE background on this?
 There are no elementary specialists, slowly starting to erode this at the
middle school level (how do we help the generalists?)
 35-45% of PE teachers do not have an HK background
So … how do we stop this? How do we fix this? SOULUTIONS
Physical literacy and movement skill (not necessarily sport skills), start
embedding some of this knowledge into the generalists – through
professional development
Undervalued as a profession, moving PE teachers out of the
classroom/gym
Enhancing movement and activity – Alberta (may not mean this is a PE
specialist)
Canadian Sport for Life and LTAD model
 ABC’s of sport
 Plus movement skills, physical literacy, and aquatics
Advocacy for change in government – how can we do this?
 Who is the mechanism for change? Ministry of Health, PE Teachers,
etc?
 Can we tap into the health stream to drive the PE agenda?
Gail Wilson – information, comments, issues submitted to Milton (see
handout)

Action item: Greg to send 3 articles to the group (IRP)
Thursday, May 18, 2006
Discussion:
Milt Williams highlighted the fact that the committee needs a Game Plan for
the next year. The question was asked - Is this a collective effort or are
objectives achieved with several people doing some work individually and
then reporting back? This question and what is our message must be
defined. Many times after these meetings we leave feeling overwhelmed. It
should be our aim after this meeting to leave with an action game plan. Who
is to do what task and report back to the committee at the next meeting?
-

AJ Patel has agreed to taking the committee’s concerns back to the Sport
Leadership Council represent BCPEKA. AJ is the Chair of BC
Gymnastics.
 Action item: AJ will circulate the Sport Leadership Council minutes
monthly
The committee should step back  what is the message that we will be
taking back to our institutions
The committee agreed to create a Position Paper on Physical Education.
Position paper – What is the message?
1. What are we doing to educate Physical Educators (pedagogy)
2. What is the role of Physical Educators in the school districts? QDPE?
Where are these people? How can we support them?)
3. How so we push our agenda to the Principals and Vice Principals? It
was agreed that we should go to their annual meeting with the position
paper – lead a discussion, push the position in a plenary.
4. Breaking the negative stereotype of PE, more linkage to health and
physical literacy, movement, holistic health (re-educating people in the
community)
5. Mini-task force? Do we need dollars to do this?
6. Key messages. Ten recommendations will lead to actions in the
schools.
7. Send to both Ministries – Health and Education
8. Respect initiatives already in place (list in background of position paper)
Question? who makes the decision about challenging grade 10 PE or
portfolio/criteria in schools?

-
-
 District, principles, Ministry asking PSO’s to figure out what level the
athlete is at and may sign off on PE 10
 Discussion on how schools are funded (block funding) and how
decisions are being made (Greg Anderson and Sandi Lavery explained) –
Superintendent, Principal, Board
This discussion may be a useful current affairs topic for students taking
the Health Policy (HKIN 261) course
Peter Rehor – expressed that the profession is fragmented (coaching
issues, not a common philosophy, too many viewpoints), move from the
micro-level to the macro-level, Outcome projects (standardize the
outcomes)
 Aimed at Ministry level and CAPHRED
 Discussion of position paper written by Peter Rehor to John Howard,
Prime Minister of Australia (Australia Council)
 Structure, content is needed – and that is missing in PE/schools
today
 What are the attitudes that are needed or need to be changed?
Especially in a social setting, behavioral changes have
occurred.
Leadership must be provided at a variety of levels – not just at the PE
level
 Peter Moyls commented that we should tie into health issues and the
environment – can we tap into the ‘environmental passion’ in the
communities
 Crime reduction tie in with PE as evidenced in Alberta
 How can we tap into other sources of funding and support
Back to the basic level – getting kids to play again
Change the attitude – the TRADITIONAL role of the PE teacher has
changed and how do we get everyone to see that this role has evolved
(what are the main objectives of the job/profession)
 Physical activity versus physical education
Action item – what are the parameters of the position paper  the lower
mainland group (Milt Williams, Greg Anderson, Alison Gill, AJ Patel, Peter
Rehor, and possibly Gail Wilson – Milt will confirm Gail’s involvement)
Dave Sanderson and Romeo Chua from UBC joined the meeting
Health Policy course (see outline from Langara)
- Harry Lendvoy – is the focus more on health than sport (has this word
been replaced)
- Romeo Chua – the old course is still receiving articulation
 Key concept should be on “organizational policy”, but the current
instructor has more of a health focus
 Colleges should try and bring in the health promotion issues, but this
requires some tweaking of the old course
8
Exercise Physiology course
Sandi Lavery - Lack of writing and math skills coming out of high school
(students are not prepared for Ex. Physiology/Biomechanics/general essay
writing).
Harry Lendvoy – issue with the Lab Manual (is there a minimum number of
labs that should be done at the sending institutions)
Romeo Chua– there is currently an in-house lab manual at UBC but there is
an understanding of limited resources
 Lab reports should be consistent
 Take data, extract & process it, produce a coherent presentation of the
data/information
 Look at the model of Biomechanics to share data on the web
 Discussion on APA format in the lab reports
 Conference website with information on format, clear guidelines
(max. 4 pages, uniform look, current practice in the field)
 Discussion on computations in the labs
 Math Principles 11 should be required
 Using Excel to chart the graphs (tutorial required in lab 1 for this
information) – write up your own handout to give students to assist
them in navigating excel
 Discussion on sharing resources and development of course
information from the universities to the colleges (seamless articulation)
 Lab manuals, web-based resources
 Rimas.net – public access website that may be of assistance
 Intellectual property – issues of collaboration or sharing
-
How to encourage the best exercise physiology, biomechanics course
development and then sharing the resources?
How to facilitate the transfer? – make it smooth for the students (meet the
needs of the degree completion requirements)
All efforts are happening at the individual-level – nothing seems to be
supported or coordinated
Cross-functional information – information on EMG was used in motor
learning and exercise physiology courses
Notion of seamless education – transfer issues, logistics, implementation

Access for college students from the website
Virtual data (collected from various students) – various modules but
content and various pedagogical framework is the same, allows for
personal interest in the classrooms
Question and discussion on how to do this for a non-lab course? 3 hours
of lecture only
Continuity of information in the course is important
Consequences of using Dave’s information:
 Needs feedback – what worked and what needs improving (viewed as
a partnership)
 Manual to be sent
Check Tim Hopper’s information at UVIC (personal website)
Remis website as well
