This teaching and learning enhancement project seeks to enhance student engagement, connection, and sense of belonging within the PHYL 4550* learning environment by introducing more integrative and applied learning opportunities. The proposed innovation combines three complementary components: (1) immersive, scenario-based learning modules that simulate experiences of inclusion and exclusion in physical activity settings; (2) reflective prompts embedded to guide deeper reflection, perspective-taking, and metacognitive awareness; and (3) embodied, movement-based learning labs that allow students to physically engage with concepts such as belonging, power, and emotional regulation.
