• Hidden Curriculum in Physical Education: A Case Study - INEFC "The basic objective of this study about hidden curriculum (HC) is not only to understand a school experience but also to understand, in general terms, the relationship between schooling and society. This study sets out to explore the ideologies transmitted through HC in the Physical Education (PE) subject as seen through a secondary education class."

• ES.010 Chemistry of Sports (MIT) "The seminar is designed to look at the science triathlons and sports from a molecular/chemical biological point of view. We will be able to use our own bodies to see how exercise affects the system, through observations written in a training journal. We will also improve the overall fitness of the class through maintaining a physical fitness program over the course of the term. The end of the term will have us all participate in a mini-triathlon."
• ES.S71 Increasing Your Physical Intelligence, Enhancing Your Social Smarts | Experimental Study Group "The purpose of this class is to offer students a new perspective on the importance of our bodily experience to our cognitive and social lives. The curriculum is designed to foster a working appreciation for how better bodily awareness can positively affect how we feel in our bodies, carry and present ourselves for improved social sensitivity and more successful social interactions."
• Multicultural Health: A Course in Diversity for Health Students "Multicultural Health (HCSV/MCGS 328) is a bottleneck course at CSU Chico. Three faculty and a student mentor collaborated to redesign curriculum for the class, flipping the instructional design and creating new opportunities for students to learn from each other."
• PE.210 SCUBA | Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation "This course will thoroughly educate the successful student with the knowledge and skills necessary to be a certified beginning SCUBA diver."
• PE.550 Designing Your Life | Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation "This course provides an exciting, eye-opening, and thoroughly useful inquiry into what it takes to live an extraordinary life, on your own terms. The instructors address what it takes to succeed, to be proud of your life, and to be happy in it. Participants tackle career satisfaction, money, body, vices, and relationship to themselves. They learn how to confront issues in their lives, how to live life, and how to learn from it. "
• PE.710 Tennis | Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation "The goals of this instructional course are to get you started in this wonderful sport and to give you a working knowledge of tennis. It should help you to understand the basics of a sport and how to perform these basics."
• PE.720 Weight Training | Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation "This 12 session course is designed for the beginning or novice weight lifter, or for those who have experience lifting but lack proper instruction. We will provide an understanding of the biomechanics involved, muscles used for a given exercise, and program development."
• PE.730 Archery | Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation "This 12 session course is designed for the beginning or novice archer and uses recurve indoor target bows and equipment. The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the basic techniques of indoor target archery emphasizing the care and use of equipment, range safety, stance and shooting techniques, scoring and competition."
• PE.740 Fencing | Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation "This course is intended to provide students with the fundamentals of fencing, including footwork, bladework, bouting and refereeing. It will allow students to develop the ability to analyze a fencing bout, and promotes creativity in applying acquired skills in a fencing bout."
• PE.910 Physical Intelligence | Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation "For all of the bodies attached to the many great minds that walk the Institute's halls, in the work that goes on at MIT the body is present as an object of study, but is all but unrecognized as an important dimension of our intelligence and experience. Yet the body is the basis of our experience in the world; it is the very foundation on which cognitive intelligence is built."
• PE.920 PE for ME "The sensing, thinking, moving body is the basis of our experience in the world; it is the very foundation on which cognitive intelligence is built. Physical Intelligence, then, is the inherent ability of the human organism to function in extraordinary accord with its physical environment. This class--a joint DAPER/ME offering for both PE and academic credit--uses the MIT gymnastics gym as a laboratory to explore Physical Intelligence as applied to ME and design."
