“…Finally, limited research in kinesiology appears to focus on the objectives of the present study, despite a clear need to (Bruning et al, 2020;Thomas et al, 2021b). A 2019 systematic review contained no publications within kinesiology focused journals (Saunders et al, 2019).…”

“…Our course assignment, evaluated in the present study, was structured to teach undergraduate kinesiology students about how cultural competency specific to persons with disabilities overlaps with skills in designing readable promotional material for the public (Thomas et al, 2022b;Ross et al, in press). Activities of the assignment not only taught students about perspectives for inclusive material design (e.g., representation; Bruning et al, 2020), but also for accessible design (e.g., perceptible content; Ross et al, in press). Accordingly, completing the course assignment was theorized to instill in students an awareness of routine (i.e., normative) practices which impede PA promotion material from being inclusive and accessible for individuals with disabilities (Ross & Ross, 2021).…”

“…To be effective, the design of messages and messaging (i.e., promotion material) should be culturally responsive to the diverse ways of obtaining, processing, and understanding information (Natkunam et al, 2020;Ross & Ross, 2021). Yet, large-scale evaluations of PA and health-related digital messaging have revealed materials that are largely inaccessible for diverse populations due to unsuitable required reading grade levels , non-compliance with disability access standards for digital media, including issues with font style, content layout, and lack of alternative text for images (Shaw 2017;Visser et al, 2021;Disability Rights Commission, 2004), and poor or missing representation of persons with disabilities (Bruning et al 2020;Comella et al, 2019;Mitchell et al, 2019).…”

Exploring learning outcomes among undergraduate kinesiology students in response to an inclusive physical activity promotion message assignment

Numerous professional bodies and curricular models in kinesiology call for the development of undergraduates’ cultural competency. In short, a culturally competent professional (a) mitigates personal biases from adversely affecting others, and (b) is aware of how societal patterns marginalize people (e.g., unquestioned norms; Gill, 2007). The present study aimed to evaluate the extent to which undergraduate students demonstrated learning in response to completing an inclusive physical activity promotion message assignment, which included a focus on designing materials inclusive of people with disabilities. A scholarship of teaching and learning approach was adopted to critically evaluate and reflect on an assignment used in an undergraduate kinesiology course. This case study drew on artifacts from a convenience sample of 10 undergraduate students enrolled in an introduction to adapted physical activity course. A descriptive discourse analysis was conducted of students’ reflections about what they learned from the assignment. Student responses were appraised with Fink’s (2013) taxonomy of significant learning for evidence of learning across six domains: i.e., foundational knowledge, application, integration, human dimension, caring, and self-determination. Student responses were coded and verified. Consensus was reached on all discrepancies. Student reflections signaled learning across four domains: foundational knowledge (n = 9), application (n = 3), integration (n = 5), and human dimensions (n = 6). Developments in the caring or self-determination domains were not evident. The findings indicate potential for the assignment to enhance Kinesiology curricula. As teacher-researchers, we discuss the findings in relation to further development of the assignment to better promote cultural competency.

“…A study examined the inclusivity and accessibility of recreation programmes in colleges for students with disabilities on programme websites of 24 US universities regarding inclusive terminology, inclusive images, and inclusivity statements (Bruning et al, 2020). The findings were that two universities used 39.48% of the total inclusivity terms, the majority used only one disability-related term on their website, half used eight or fewer terms, and one used outdated terminology.…”

A Gestalt and Semiotic Analysis of Brand Communication on Disability Inclusion: The Case of Malaysia and The US

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) underscore the United Nations’ effort in advocating disability inclusion in education and the infrastructure of member countries. Brands can also play their role by promoting disability inclusion through their brand messages. Brand messages are powerful as they advocate causes and ideals that include disability inclusion through repetitive and omnipresent messages whose ultimate goal is to influence the target audience’s behaviour. This multiple case study compared brand communication from ten brands each originating from Malaysia and the United States using Saussure's model of semiotics. It was found that Common Fate is the fundamental gestalt principle in most brands’ communication on disability inclusion of both countries and that positive nomenclature was used as the signifier that underlined the organisations' positive perception of disability inclusion. Our moral obligation is to include persons with disabilities (PwDs) in society, and brands can play their role by promoting the universal ideal of disability inclusion. This study was borne out of the intrigue in understanding how images in brand communication have been incorporating disability inclusion. Brand messages are ubiquitous and powerful as they can set the agenda on disability inclusion by giving it appropriate prominence. The proposed multiple case study will examine brand communication from ten brands, each originating from Malaysia and the United States. The criteria used to select the brands will be vital as confirmed by the industry in the case of Malaysian brands and the highly indexed brands deemed by the Disability Equality Index (DEI) for U.S. brands. Saussure's model of semiotic analysis will be used to examine the brand messages in terms of their communication on disability inclusion. The model of semiotics to be adopted is broken into components such as a sign, signifier, and signified, thus providing us with an insight into the sign in the form of websites by brands, the dominant symbols (signifier), and the interpretations of these symbols (signified). It was found that Common Fate was the key gestalt principle found in the communication on disability inclusion by all brands in Malaysia and the US and that positive nomenclature was adopted as signifiers that promoted the organisations’ positive perception of disability inclusion.

Achieving a Socially Just Society: Kinesiology’s Role and Responsibility in Disrupting the Status Quo

Social justice can be defined in different ways, but the principles providing the foundation/framework include access, equity, and fairness; respect for diversity; participation/engagement; and basic human rights. As an academic discipline and professional practice (field), kinesiology has an important role to play in achieving a socially just society. Social change is about not only disrupting the status quo, but also transformational change and moving toward access, equity, and inclusion. Three narratives reflect upon the ways in which kinesiology and adapted physical activity have disrupted—and must continue to disrupt—the status quo to progress toward a socially just society: reflections of marginality, sport, and social constructs of body and ability; ableism and evolution of adapted physical activity; kinesiology and its responsibility for a sustainable future and socially just society. Although progress has been made, there is still more work to be done.
