| Project Summary | This project seeks to create, implement, and systematically evaluate a blended learning program in Indigenous Studies in Kinesiology. Our curriculum will represent the wide-ranging disciplines of Kinesiology including behavioural medicine, sociology, physical activity promotion, and exercise medicine. This project will contribute to the enhancement of teaching and learning within the School of Kinesiology providing measurable and sustainable benefits. This curriculum will introduce students to principles of Indigenous understandings of health and well-being providing comprehensive insight into the complex social, cultural, historical, and economic factors that shape healthy living within Indigenous communities. This multi-disciplinary curriculum will enhance our ability to strengthen intercultural discussion, enhancing the sense of inclusion of Indigenous peoples. Importantly, the extensive participation of Indigenous leaders (e.g., Elders and knowledge keepers) and scholars at UBC in collaboration with leaders across Canada will facilitate the creation of a curriculum that respects the experience, knowledge, and values of Indigenous peoples. This advanced evidence-based learning program will enhance the transformative learning experience of students. |
