Risk Management Plan Assignment

Each student will analyze an existing RMP for a specific institution that you will identify. If analyzing a team or group, remember it is part of a whole – part of the institution or district. As such, it cannot have its own RMP so your task is to see how well it complies with existing policies and procedures. It will be important to determine what should change – the institution policy to accommodate how the team or group is functioning; or the team or group change the way it is functioning to comply with the policies or procedures.

A risk management plan is more than just a checklist audit. However, a checklist is an important tool. To develop a risk management plan, students should review the RMP Review Checklist (see below) and use it to make sure they are reviewing all required aspects of the institution, group or team. Areas of inspection must include:

  • Organization Description
  • Personnel involved
  • Activities conducted
  • Facility and equipment condition
  • General supervisory practices
  • Crisis management and emergency action plans
  • Insurance coverage

Exercise Science & Coaching

Capstone Projects will be provided within the specific concentration areas of Coaching Studies, Exercise Science, General, and Fitness and Wellness Professional Studies. Each student will select a project related to their concentration within the Sports and Health Sciences degree program. If your concentration is “General”, then you are allowed to select the Capstone Project that applies best to your career focus. The Capstone Project will focus on an individual situation that allows students to research and analyze information to provide a comprehensive presentation containing creative solutions. The presentation should demonstrate an inclusive understanding of program level objectives, key coaching, exercise science, fitness and wellness, and sports and health science concepts, critical thinking, reflective practice, constructive analysis, ability to make executive level decisions, and overall ability to write efficiently.
APA 7th Edition Formatting
Your Senior Capstone Project Reference Page and in text citations MUST be written in APA style. Please refer to the 7th Edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), the Center for Teaching and Learning Student Resources area, and/or http://www.apastyle.org/ for assistance. There are also various documents and tools in the online classroom related to APA to help you along the way.

Capstone Project Tools
Your Capstone Project format should use a variety of tools to showcase your work. The meat of the project should be in a word document that points the reader “your boss” to the intended document for clarity. The additional tool choice should be based on the best way to showcase and display specific sections of your work. For example, an employee manual in Microsoft Word, an employee schedule in Excel, a YouTube video to showcase a training procedure, or a Power Point presentation for a workout plan.
Power Points are not recommended as a formatting tool for the entire Capstone project. (The reason is that power points are meant to be conversations starters – see any TedTalk video for reference, each power point slide enhances what the speaker is saying, but does not speak for the speaker – meaning each power point slide should not be a flyer containing all of the necessary information within a topic heading. Its too much information on one slide.) Despite all of this, if you would like to use a power point slide presentation within your Capstone Project you must attain approval for its use. And your initial submission and final submission must contain an accompanying word document where each power point slide’s talking point is fully addressed using 250-500 words per slide.
You have a great deal of latitude with how your Capstone Project is presented and what appears inside. Ensure it is professional, yet maintain the creative aspects necessary to advance your project.

Capstone Project Objectives

-Require students to research information current to today’s industry.
-Make strategic decisions that impact sport organizations.
-Apply theory to practice.
-Enable students to execute creative solutions.
-Demonstrate critical thinking.
-Build/develop constructive analysis.

Analyse Data

Description of the assessment

This assessment requires students to carry out data analysis and interpretation on a range of qualitative and quantitative data sets.

Analyse and interpret quantitative and qualitative data gathered from a range of research methods used in sport and exercise

There are TWO sets of data in this folder – One is the spreadsheet containing the data for the first part of the assessment – the Quantitative component. The second file is a word document containing transcribed data from the group interviews that relates to the Qualitative section of the assessment.

Assessment Content – Part 1; Quantitative analysis (approx. 1000 words)

You will be carrying out quantitative data analysis using Excel and SPSS. You will be able to self-select the data that you analyse from a range of data provided for you.

USE THE “CW1 QUANTITATIVE DATA” FILE TO COMPLETE THIS PART OF THE ASSESSMENT

You should create your document using the outputs from SPSS and annotate around these accordingly. Remember that you can copy and paste the tables that SPSS creates but should use excel to create graphs if you wish to include these.

You will need to report your findings clearly and using recognised academic language and formatting. We will cover this throughout the sessions, but you should use research focused journal articles that have carried out similar analysis as a guide for this.

There are 2 sections to Part 1 of this assessment, requiring you to carry out two different quantitative data analysis techniques, and evidence your understanding of both these.  You may use the student template to structure your work.

Section 1.

Using ANY SUITABLE VARIABLES from the data set provided, carry out EITHER an Independent Samples T-test OR a Paired samples T-test.

Ensure you carry out and comment on all appropriate assumption tests and post hoc tests as required by this test. You should also produce an appropriate graph to visually display the data, including error bars and correct formatting of axis labels.

 

Section 2.

Using ANY SUITABLE VARIABLES from the data set provided, carry out EITHER a One-Way ANOVA OR a Repeated Measures ANOVA

Ensure you carry out and comment on all appropriate assumption tests and post hoc tests as required by this test. You should also produce an appropriate graph to visually display the data, including error bars and correct formatting of axis labels.

 

Assessment Content – Part 2; Qualitative analysis (approx. 1000 words)

 

Research Question: How do students perceive and experience walking in an indoor environment compared to an outdoor environment?

Using the transcribed data, carry out a thematic analysis using the Braun and Clarke (2006) framework.  When you have conducted your analysis, write up your report using the following subheadings and use the student template to structure your work:

 

 Introduction (100 words)

Briefly introduce your research question and aim of the report stating the method of data analysis.

 

Data Analysis (300 words, 30%)

Provide a brief rationale for conducting qualitative analysis using the Braun and Clarke (2006) framework. Report how you conducted each step of the process and how you addressed credibility, dependability, and confirmability.

 

Findings and Discussion (600 words, 60%)

Present a table that summarises and represents your 2nd level coding and final themes. Using themes as sub-headings, discuss the meaning of each theme and how each was identified through the analysis process. Briefly, compare your findings to previous research in this area and conclude your report.
