Master of Education

in Health and Physical Education

The Master of Education degree program in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education allows students to specialize in physical education. The program goes beyond regular courses with team-taught comprehensive and non-compartmentalized integrated instructional units, rather than the traditional 3-credit courses. Integration of related content utilizing diverse delivery systems and assessments within a comprehensive content structure offers opportunities for students to practice higher orders of thinking and to experience a greater variety of teaching and learning styles. Also, collapsing the traditionally taught content into larger units allows the flexibility required in order to efficiently and quickly respond to the changing needs of today’s schools and the community. With the goal of educating better teachers, the graduate program offers students opportunities for integrated study and practice. It is the intent to offer anupdated program that employs profession-specific technology for preparation of graduates to apply today’s knowledge in tomorrow’s practice. The aim is to cause changes in the physical education programs in the region toward the ultimate outcome of more healthful lifestyles among Georgia’s youth.
