Graduate Education in Health Education, Physical Education, Recreation Education, Safety Education, and Dance. Report of a National Conference.

Overview & Synopsis

This book is designed to improve programs of graduate study in five majors under the general heading of health education: physical education, health education, recreation education, safety education, and dance. The first section outlines the history and purposes of graduate education in health-oriented majors and proposes that the same problems that plague them plague graduate education in general--mainly, the placement of emphasis in graduate study. Detailed in this book are guidelines for general educational patterns and organization, instructional methodology, instructional and research resources, and guidelines for programs of study for each of the five majors.
