Physical education teachers today are expected to have a deep understanding of how educational technologies can assist students in linking specific physical fitness knowledge and concepts to measuring,interpreting, and prescribing appropriate fitness activities. Using digital tools, such as pedometers, heart rate monitors, and exercise games, in physical education classes can provide creative and motivating ways to engage in and monitor physical activity. But how can we best choose and integrate these tools into physical education teaching?

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs are prevalent on American college and university campuses. The higher education literature is replete with research on prevalence rates (Presley, Meilman, and Cashin, 1998; Wechsler, Lee, Kuo, and Lee, 2000), substance abuse prevention theories (Gonzales, 1994), history of substance abuse prevention (O'Bryan and Daughtery, 1992), and descriptions of prevention programming (anderson and Milgram, 1996; Mills-Novoa, 1994). There is, however, little research on the substance abuse prevention professionals who are charged with developing and offering prevention programming in higher education.;This study is one of the first to examine the substance abuse prevention professional in higher education. …

Principals' Knowledge Of Legal Issues Related To The Delivery Of Health Services In Virginia, Lucia Villa Sebastian
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Schools have derived their legal powers to regulate student health services through an evolutionary process. Statutory law generally provides the authority for school boards to hire medical personnel to provide health services. In addition, the legal power to provide health services has evolved from the police powers of the states, through the fourteenth amendment guarantee to property rights, and in response to societal needs and expectations.;The present study was conducted to investigate the current status of health services in public schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and to determine the level of knowledge of legal issues related to the delivery …

With the identification of the Human/Companion Animal Bond as a distinct area of scientific investigation, an increased awareness in this human factor in veterinary work has begun to emerge. To address the human factor, this study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of a training program developed to equip veterinarians with intervention skills and knowledge of family emotional process.;One, if not the most stressful, aspects of veterinary work reported by clinicians …
