Master
of Arts in Education - Physical Education
The
Master of Arts in Education in Physical Education was developed and
established by
the Sport Sciences Department at Wingate University in May,
2006. This program is
designed for students who have earned an undergraduate
degree in Physical Education
Teacher Education (PETE) and have successfully
completed a student teaching
experience in physical education. The program
consists of 36 semester hours leading to
the Master of Arts in Education in
Physical Education Degree with graduate-level (“M”)
licensure in Physical
Education (K-12).
Emphasis:
All
courses include a research component that involves the teaching process
and/or
factors affecting the learning/teaching/education process. Students
complete a portfolio as
a culminating project consisting of related research
materials designed to enhance the
decision-making and leadership abilities
of the graduates. The students who complete the
program are prepared to
assume a major role in formulating individual/group goals and
planning
approaches to meet them. Also, they will have an enhanced knowledge in the
use of technology. Finally, the underpinning wellspring of the graduate
program is the
“Effective Facilitator of Learning Conceptual Model.” (See
Appendix A in the Graduate
Catalogue)
