Lifetime Activities
|
Oxford College is committed to the liberal arts. The liberal arts curriculum for centuries has included the study of physicality and its relationship to mind and spirit. From Plato's Academy to the present, institutions which espouse the study of the liberal arts make physical education an integral part of the curriculum. The study of physicality includes but is not wholly limited to:
- The refinement of the senses.
- The maintenance of health, physical strength and stamina.
- The management and control of body based emotions.
- An appreciation of kinesthetic awareness, which includes the joy of movement and exploration of human movement as a form of expression.
- The acquisition and refinement of perceptual motor skills.
- An awareness that there is an intrinisic relationship between body, mind and spirit and that inadequacies in one of these affects the other two.
The courses within the three areas in the Division of Physical Education and Dance emphasize certain elements of physicality with some elements being emphasized more than others. By enrolling in three courses in three different areas students will be exposed to all six elements of physicality to one degree or another.
Lifetime Activities is the first of these three areas.
Note: All courses in the Division of Physical Education and Dance are taught at the beginning level.
