    2. Todays Agenda Questions Group Activity Short Lecture Critical Thinking Activity Questions

    3. Instructions Each individual read assigned section-10-15 minutes In your group discuss/record the main points-10 minutes Each individual practice a brief presentation of the material-5 minutes Someone from the group will be randomly chosen to present the information-2 minutes

    4. Strengths of Scientifically Derived Knowledge Highly reliable Systematic and controlled Objective and unbiased

    5. Limitations of Scientifically Derived Knowledge Reductionistic/Conservative-often slow to evolve Lack of focus on external validity (practicality)

    6. Strengths of Professional Practice Knowledge What is it? Knowledge gained through experience Guided through trial and error learning

    7. Strengths of Professional Practice Knowledge Holistic Innovative Immediate

    8. Limitations of Professional Practice Knowledge Less reliable Lack of explanations Greater susceptibility to bias

    9. Methods of Knowing Intuition Authority Experience Scientific Knowledge

    10. Goals and Subgoals of Science Goal: To confirm theory Subgoals: Description Explanation Prediction Control

    11. Research Settings Field Study Natural Experiment Field Experiment Laboratory Experiment

    12. Problems in Psychological Theory and Research People are variable Measures are not precise Few sport specific theories

    13. Critical Thinking Activity Pick some question of interest to your group about sport and exercise psychology (e.g. How does imagery affect foul-shooting performance? How can you increase adherence to an exercise program? Does physical education teach children leadership skills? Now design a study.
