Introduction. A. Purpose of the Study. A cooperative interest of the writer and the administrators in physical education at Michigan State College led to this study. It was begun in May, 1956. The activities which were used in the questionnaire form were secured from a similar study made by C. D. Voltmer(1)of the University of Iowa in 1930. While the activities and the procedure follored are almost a duplicate of that followed by Voltmer, the study is Justified because it is made from a select group of teachers of physical education under Michigan conditions; also this study is made seven.years after the former study.' The purpose of this study, as indicated by the title, is to examine the duties and determine present practices which the teacher of physical education is required to perform. The study may prove of value in the field of education for the following reasons: (1) The curriculums are changing constantly; there- fore the present practices in secondary schools may point to needed (l) Voltmer, C. D. The Subject Matter Content for a University Course in the Administration of Physical Education for Men as Determined by a Job Analysis. Unpublished Master's Thesis. University of IO‘a o 1950 o changes. (2) The future policies may be determined in the light of discoveries. (S) The discoveries made may provide a basis for re- commending changes in teacher training institutions. B. Sources of Data and Materials. The data in this study were secured from eighty-five men in grades six to twelve who were coaching and directing other physical education activities for the school year 1955-56. For the purpose of this study, secondary education will be used synonymously with grades six to twelve. An effort was made to secure a cross-section of conditions by securing data from men in all classes of public secondary schools. In Michigan, secondary schools are classified by The Michigan Athletic Association as “A", "B", "C", "D". (1) C. Methodology and Procedure. Activities are classified under twenty-three heads as indicated by Voltmer.(2) An additional activity asking for information on safety program is included in this study. A tabulation of these data will be found in TABLE I.,jp.7 . Each teacher was asked to state years of experience in teaching, schools attended, and degrees received. In the appendix till he found listed the reasons, given by these teachers, which wereconsidered most important in securing better positions or increases in salaries. In the appendix there is listed also the (1) Michigan High School Athletic Association Bulletin. No. 5, Vol. XIII. January. 1937. (2) Voltmer, C. D. 0p. cit., p. 1. collegiate institutions attended by the teachers of physical education included in this study, and number of teachers who have advanced degrees. Each activity is scored on three points: first, frequency of performance; second, degree of importance; third, whether, in the Judgment of the teacher, the activity should be taught to men in their pre-service training for a teaching position in physical education. Under frequency, N signifies non-performance; Y signifies performance once or twice a year; M signifies performance approxi- mately once per month; W signifies performance more frequently than once per month. Under importance, N indicates those of no importance; 8 indicates those of some importance; E indicates those of most importance. Under desirability of learning in school, E denotes those activities which should be included in school training; NI denotes those activities that should not be included in teacher training; D denotes doubtful cases. Replies are weighed on an 0, 1, 2, 5 basis. In the case of an activity never performed, of no importance, and not to be learned in school, the recording will show a total score in each case of zero. With greater frequency, more important, or more need of school training, the score will be higher since the weighings increase with these changes. in activity most frequently performed, essential and which should be learned in school will have the highest possible rating score. The activity analysis has certain advantages over other techniques which are particularly applicable in the present case because it does not deal with theory but with things as they are. However, this may be a weakness because the activity analysis shows conditions as they are and not as they should be. Another weakness is that conditions in the future cannot be determined. II.

Summary. The conclusions as revealed in the foregoing study show the importance of (1) teaching social values of athletics, (2) psychology in athletics, (5) the emphasis placed upon the treatment of athletic injuries, and (4) coaching school teams. The successful teacher of physical education places more emphasis upon the social values as indicated by the ranking of activities. The emphasis given to teaching pldyers to respect the rules of the game, to accept decisions, and not to boast or alibi was a strong indication to support such a belief. The promotion of hospitality to the visiting team ranked high and should be a responsibility of the athletic director. The recognition of ability and of individual differences received the highest score. This would seem to indicate the importance of the study of individual differences in students. The coach should have training in developing confidence and cooperation, and also alertness. The health.and general well-being of the boys was another of the essentials which should receive major attention according to this ' analysis. The prevalent disease "athlete's foot" must be prevented and those that have it must be treated. The administration of First Aid was considered very important; therefore, teacher training should include training in First Aid and preventive taping. Less emphasis was placed upon knowledge of diets and the giving of advice on general training. - so - The importance of knowing the fundamentals of the sport was emphasized in Table III, p. 29. In Michigan the sports which attract major attention were basketball, baseball, football, and track, in the order named.(1) With the large number of schools conducting athletic programs it should be of paramount importance to have a teacher of physical education Who is yell versed in all games taught. The training necessarily includes rules and their application, the organization of practice sessions, and some training in directing student managers. No importance was given to scouting other teams, as shown by the ranking in Table III, p. 40. The securing of officials received a low ranking but some training in this activity may be useful. The importance of teaching games in physical education has indicated by its high ranking, being fifth in the list of one hundred forty-eight activities. Relays, being of less importance, ranked forty-eighth in one hundred forty-eight and was followed in rank by stunts and tumbling. Marching and calisthenics also ranked high enough to warrant a limited amount of attention. Heavy and light apparatus work was low in rankings. While it is doubtful if heavy apparatus work should be taught, it was indicated that light apparatus work should be included in teacher training.

October, 1956. a61- Intramural schedules received more attention than the scheduling of games, meets and inter—school tournaments for school teams. The importance for the determining of objectives and making a curriculum showed a high score in teacher training, but the infrequency with which these activities were performed tends to lower their rankings. The conducting of inter-school tournaments was of little importance, as was the handling of finances. The teacher of physical education, in most cases, had very little to do with such matters. However, the making of a budget should be included in teacher training, as indicated in the learning column. The keeping of records was not strongly in- dicated, the most important being that of keeping records of equipment issued and checking attendance. The extension of safety to the gymnasium and to the playground was very important. While the teacher of physical education did not indicate that these rules could be taught in teacher training, the frequency that rules were put into effect did give safety an essential place in the work of the teacher of physical education. However, helping to organize safety patrols did not receive high ranking. It is apparent that this work, as yet, was somewhat out of the general scope of the work performed by the coach. Since there was some emphasis placed upon the use and control of student leaders, teacher training should include work and information in this direction. :62- The teaching of health subjects was very essential. The frequency of teaching health subjects was low, but its importance in the physical education curriculum was necessary as indicated by the upper ten per cent rating it received in the ”Learned in School" column. According to the replies received, more than two periods per week were devoted to the teaching of health. The teaching of other subjects ranked much higher being 8.47 periods per week. The importance of health was also showed by the emphasis placed upon the work of the nurse and the medical doctor and the necessity of securing pupil and parent cooperation. Corrective work did not rank high in frequency of performance but it did rank high in desirability of learning and in importance. The indication was that the teachers of physical education do recognize the desirability of such work even if they do not perform such tasks. The training in officiating was important and should be learned in school, as indicated by the ranking the various sports received. The sports, basketball and football, were in the first ten percentile while baseball, track, and swimming were in the second percentile. The other sports were ranked in the third percentile. The knowledge in the construction of gymnasiums, fields, courts, and pools was quite strongly indicated. Such work as supervising con- struction was not performed frequently, but advice from the teacher of physical education on some problems may be worthwhile. The athletic director should at least know where to secure necessary information, should the need arise. -'65 _ There was evidence that the teacher of physical education plays an important part in his relationship with the pupils and faculty. The setting of proper examples of conduct and character, advising pupils on personal problems, taking interest in pupils, encouraging pupils to maintain high scholarship, supporting the policies of the superintendent, and serving on committees ranked high. These activities were not easily taught in teacher training, but their importance must be emphasized. Taking charge of bqys on trips is not easily adapted to school training but the responsibility of team conduct must be stressed because of the part the coach has in it. Among the other activities which were essential but not readily learned in school were activities which dealt with the physical educa- tion plant itself. Among the things which may be taught in teacher training were included the prdblems which arise in relation to laundry service, care of lockers or basket system, storage, repair of equipment, purchasing of equipment, and the marking of floors and fields. The sanitary control of the pool received a high ranking in the training program but the frequency of performance was in the lower twenty percentile. The coefficient of correlation between this and Voltmer's study was .87, as determined by the rank-differences method. There were some important differences. (1) In this study serving on facultycommittees ranks fifty-six points higher than in Voltmer's study. Attending faculty .r 64 - meetings ranked fifty-five points higher. This may be a trend toward more cooperation within the school than as was expressed in the past. (2) The use and control of student leaders was scored forty-eight points higher in this study than in Voltmer's. The idea of using students in developing leadership may be expressed by this result. (3) The development of community relations scored higher in this study than in Voltmer's. An important factor was noted when it was found that organizing business men's recreation ranked thirty-four points higher in the writer's study. Promoting community swimming ranked thirty-three points higher. This may show that more emphasis is being placed on the development of a community relations program. The other activities coming under the above heading which scored a higher ranking in this study were: (a) directing playground, (b), giving public demonstrations in physical education, (c) attending social affairs, and (d) giving public addresses. (4) More importance is given to the health of the pupil as indicated by the higher rankings in the following activities: (a) securing c00peration of parent and pupil in corrective work, (b) securing cooperation of pupil in other health activities, and (c) cooperating with school nurse and physician. More than two periods per week were spent in teaching health. In Votmer's study less than one period was spent per week in the teaching of health. (5) More emphasis was placed upon the pupils in their relation to the school and society. In intramural competition, the pupils secured more socialization. The advance standing of games taught - 65 - ‘in physical education and the teaching of skills showed that teachers are trying to give the pupils something they may do outside of school. The activities, teaching players respect for the rules of the game, teaching players not to boast and alibi, teaching players to accept decisions, setting proper examples of conduct and character, all rank higher in this study; There was a strong indication to support the belief that the trend was towards higher social values. There was more emphasis expressed in the relation with pupils such as the making of contacts with the homes and visiting the parents. The teaching of dancing was scored thirty-three points higher than in Voltmer's study and may also be classed under the development of social activities. There was also more emphasis placed upon conducting inter-school tournaments. While social values ranked higher in this study than did intra- mural athletics and games, there was less emphasis placed upon the athletic teams. In the author’s study all activities which deal with the development of winning teams ranked lower. These include building up alertness in teams, guarding against over-confidence, giving plays in team sports, developing confidence in style of play, securing obedience and snap on the practice field, securing obedience to training rules, regulating diet of team candidate, football officiating, scheduling games for school teams, giving athletic awards and prizes, appointing and handling managers, supplying information to the press, and scouting; In Voltmer's study winning teams were most important in a 53 - securing promotions and in securing higher salaries. The author found that professional training ranked first. ‘The trend as indicated by this comparison may be to higher social values than to winning teams. Another factor was that of gymnasium activities in which the teaching of calisthenics, marching, heavy apparatus, and light apparatus were scored lower. The scores were forty—seven, fifty-five, forty-two and forty respectively. Among other activities which ranked lower were (1) getting officials approved and securing officials, (2) fitting equipment, (5) dealing with traveling salesmen, (4) attending to sanitation of gymnasium, (5) critic work and advising and directing assistant teachers, (6) providing hotel accomodations for teams, (7) making reports to principal, superintendent, and board, (8) marking floors, (9) apportioning funds to meet greatest needs, and (10) giving tests in physical fitness and marks in tests and measurements. The following observations regarding the physical education curriculum at Michigan State College may be noted: (1) Physical Education 515 -"History and Principles of Physical Educatiod'- has been removed from the curriculum. (2) Physical Education 519 -"'Anthropometry and Physical Examinations" has been changed to "Tests and Measurements in Physical Education.” The importance of such a step may be noted when the ranking of anthropometric measurements in the activity analysis is studied, Table III, p. 40. --e7 - (5) Physical Education 513 - "Organization and Administration" is now given as “Principles and Methods" (4) Physical Education 460 - ”Technique of Officiating" formerly a one credit course, has been made into a two credit course. This eliminated a course entitled, “Technique of Officiating." (5) Courses in Physics are not required but are strongly recommended as electives. (6) Mathematics 407 - "Statistics” has been added. This is a step toward meeting the recommendations of the National Study Committee. (7) Physiology 519 - ”PhysiOIOgy of Muscular Activity" has been added. This is another step toward meeting the National Study Committee's recommendations. (8) Physiology 517 - ”Kinesiology" though given under the Department of Physiology may be classed in the scope of Anatomy. (9) Education 502 - ”Science of Education" is now a three credit course instead of five. (10) Education 407 - "Educational Psychology" is now four credits instead of five. -68.. W. Conclusions. The following suggested changes in the physical education curriculum at Michigan State College may be desirable, as supported by the standards of the National Study Committee and the activity analysis: (1) Add courses in Sociology. The National Study Committee recommends nine term hours but the physical education curriculum at Michigan State College does not contain any. The activity analysis brings out the necessity of such training. (2) Mere training should be given in the teaching of hygiene as indicated by the study made and the standards recommended by the National Study Committee. The committee suggests that nine hours be included in teacher training but the curriculum at Michigan State College now contains three. (5) Reduce the hours required for Chemistry. There is no evidence to support the belief that so much Chemistry is necessary. (4) Add courses in Biology to meet the standards recommended by the National Study Committee. The physical education curriculum at Michigan State College is quite adequately organized as compared with the standards recommended by the National Study Committee, in Table V., p. 54. The course in Bacteriology required by the Department of Physical Education may be important as indicated by the analysis. The emphasis should be placed .»59 - upon pool sanitation, treatment of diseases, and the teaching of health. The course in "Food and Nutrition" is not recommended by the National Study Committee but is required by the Department of Physical Education. There is, however, a doubt as to whether this course is necessary. In the analysis it is found that less emphasis was placed upon regulating and advising on diets. The essential points on nutrition could probably be taught in a health or hygiene course. Two courses are required in psychology and the training in such studies cannot be over emphasized when the activity analysis is studied and the importance of”paychology observed. VI. -70..
