Emphasis is placed on the relationship of physical education and sport to religion, ethnic groups, politics, media, gender, economics, and education. Educators are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning. Students in this course will become acutely aware of the sociological and psychological variables that have both a positive and negative impact on instructional settings.
Educators are members of learning communities.
Students will become aware of and understand the impact that sport and physical education have on parents, schools, and community constituencies relative to resources, community involvement, school togetherness, and as a collaborative tool to work with these groups.
