EDUCATION 457
Teaching Active Health
Preamble
The Active Health Program has become a highly successful approach to
teaching human biological concepts to elementary and secondary school
children. There are established curricula including grade level
content, teaching strategies and evaluative instruments.
F
urther, this
is an interdisciplinary program in that it is taught within the Science,
Health and Physical Education curricula.
Preliminary surveys indicate a strong professional interest in this course.
Education 487 is an attempt by Dr. Kirchner and Stirling to meet this
need.
Comment
Following the initial. prvs'ntat Ion to the Undcrgraudatc Committee, the
course outline was reviewed by Dr. Dickinson for possible overlap with
S
their courses. We have subsequently changed the calendar description
and the course outline to accommodate Dr. Dickinson's concerns.

The content area in this proposed course overlaps
considerably with material tauyht: in I.incsioIoy. Specifically
course outline sections 2 and 4 are
t.JUJhL
in Kinesiolojy 100-3,
section 3 is taught in Kinesi.ology 110-3 and section in
Kinesiology 375-3. One of the texts (Guyton, Function
of
the
human body) was used as a text for Kin 100-3.

(To be completed only for new course proposals; not needed for re-numbering)
S
Course number and name TEACHII'l( ACTIVE HEALTH -- EDUC. 1457..4
1.
Evaluation of current library collection (indicate method used, as applicable):
The library collection is modest, particularly when directed toward the
teaching aspect of human biological concepts to elementary and secondary
children. Consultation with the Science Librarian assures me that the
overall collection in scientific and general health materials is good.
2. Recommended additions to collection (monographs, serials, other); attach sup-
plementary lists as necessary:
The bibliographics attached were checked and showed that the library
held only one of four titles prescribed, however, there were titles of
similar nature and in most cases, by the same authors. Checking sources
showed also, that many comparable titles were still in print and
avai.lable as of November 1982. These findings apply both to monographs
and serials.

Other pertinent details:
The course proposal suggests the course be taught in spring 1984.
This lead time will be necessary to adjust our budgeting.
