(i » UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION November 14, 19396 Dre Forrest C. Allen, Department of Physical Education, University of Kansas. Dear Dre Allen: Some time ago you asked each member of the depart- ment to write a letter containing proposed requirements for a master's degree in physical educatione Illy suggestions are pre- sented belowe To obtain the degree of master of science in physical education at the University of Kansas, a student should: 1. Complete one year of graduate worke 2e Pass a minimmm of 30 hours of credit, all with grade C or better. 3. Write a master's thesis, which might receive from 2 to 4 hours credite 4. Select all his courses from the upper division and graduate level (courses numbered 100 and above). 5. Have completed all the courses required for a physical education major. 6e Include in his program the following courses: School of Education Elementary Statistical Methods Educational Psychology (adv.) School Hygiene Bduecational Sociology (adv.) Www Ow OT Department of Physical Education Tests and Measurements in Physical Ed. 2 Technique or Methods of Teaching Physical Education Activities 3 Curriculum Construction in Physical Ed. 3 First Aid 2 Problems in Intramural Sports 2 Thesis 2—4 Coaching courses in football, basketball and track (if not already completed) 2—6 At least four different advanced courses in skill sports 4. The importance of learning skill sports well enough to execute and teach them is extremely important for our graduate f wn?) ome students as well as for our majorse These graduates will go back into the field and be required to teach these same sportse There- fore, they should be encouraged to improve their old skills or to learn new ones in order to facilitate their teachinge Physical education is taught through physical activities. Those teachers in the field who did not, while still in school, learn the many skills necessary to successful teaching, should be given the opportunity to learn them as graduates. A teacher of history may return as a graduate and enroll in history courses he missed while in school; he is not limited merely to courses in the theory of teaching history. The same situation should hold true in physical educatione Therefore, I believe advanced skill courses (which re- quire reading and tests, perhaps) should be numbered above 100 and should be offered to those graduates in physical education who want and need the traininge Schools of high scholastic stending, such as Stanford University and the University of California offer such courses to upper division and graduate students. Certainly, the University of Kansas should be as progressive as these institutions. Yours sincerely, & lh Barth Be Be DeGroot, JDe Susislind Gad eahiate Ucar we see Geen I suggest that you send this and other thoughts thet you have in mind to Dean Solwegler in a letter, telling him thet you and I have gone over this mtter and that I heartily approve, end further that you desire to have a — conference with hire olin sain Pcie de Paget gcethoragers _ Like for him to offer suggestions from his long years seiguiicaion “Sanaied She cates ACMiaie: dead eeomgeeatids seni that you are endeavoring to work on at Oread. | Frankly, I like very much the interest and en= thusiase that you are showing for the betterment of the department, not only at Oread but with our department as en rn ee on ae Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation, FCAsAli © Seay ee Cees | RECOMMENDED SRABGES 3% SUPRVIEND TRAGHING IM ERERIGAL EPSQATION EE ISR fhe fellewing recommended chenges in the orgenisation and conduet of the course in Supervised Teaching in Physieal Education for Men are based on ny experiences and observations in supervising the course under the present arranges ments during the school year, 1959<40. I believe the course could be conducted much more effeetively for the benefit of the practice teachers by certain changes in administrative procedure within this particuler course. Before presenting the suggested changes, let me list some of the difficulties ond fautts te the present ervenguammst le Some students enroll for al their supervised teaching in one semester, others spread their over two semesters.

The students would then be expected to attend class five days per week, assignments and schedules could be definitely equalized, and the student teacher would not be allowed to enroll for too many unite in other coursete A eneesemester course would allow seniors te choose the semester in which they desire supervised tesching; they might thus avoid seheduling the course during t>e same semester with other difficult er laboratory courses, or with versity sports, which require extra time and energye Present enrollment trends in the depertment of physics] edueetion indigate that groups of eight to twelve seniors my be enrolling in Supervised Teeehing in Physics! Education each year. ly using the one-semester i, the student teachers may be divided inte two groupse e could ten have four or five students meeting five times per week, doing coneentreted, continuous teaching in one semesters hie yoar we have had seven to nine teachers tenehigg but tag or throe times per week during their teaching period or unit, and spreading their work over two semesters. 2. Bo student should be allowed to schedule eny other class during the supervised teaching peri a, ot 1:30 peme, during any day of the week. I have already ste that such a schedule crestes an ebnermal teaching situation and works a hardship on both the student teachers and the Gread pupils. The one-semester, four-unit plan should eliminate this possib#ii if e required or laberatory eourse must be completed oy ® partia senior student, this student could anticipate such » contingeney and plan his year's work in such a manner that he would be free for practice teaching during one of the two semesterse Be One additional hour (:eeides 1:30 peme) por week sould be ineludes in the supervised teaching course for the purpose of general gonferences of all students enrolled in Supervised Teaching in Physdeal Edusations This senferenee hour should be ind ioated in the @lass sohedule bulletine ‘This year there is no hour at which ell owr practice teachers may moet for discuesion of common problems, te plen curricula, or to receive essignments and lectures. 4e No student should be allowed to enroll for more then twelve unite plus preetice teachings Practice tere’ing in physical educe tion requires outside preparstion, unit and deily lesson plenning and other Beperse Phile the student-teacher ic actually teaching the elass, particularly, +e needs more time for preparation then does in any other two or four unit course. Our newly formed et teaching experiment with the Lawrence elementary schools has complicated and i sified the above probims rather than a! leviated them. Even though srrangements be made next year for our student-teachers to teach in the Lawrence junior and senior high schools, I believe the above recommendations would faeilitete the conduct of Supervised Teaching in Phyeies! “dueetion in the lawrence seheole as well as in the Oresd Training Sohcol. Respectfully submitted, Ee Be DeGroot, dre bey UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DIVISION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS April 4,1940 Dear Dre Allen, In a recent conversation you suggestedd that I should apply for the Phe D degpee as soon as possiblee I'm taking the supicviattes of mentioning that I am placing my application for candidacy and continuing my graduate work toward the doctorate. This year I have taken on the teaching of two theory courses in addition to my regular skills class schedule. I hope that I may be able to handle more theory courses. Concerning research, I should like to point out that my research én teaching method in Physical Education is filling a definite need ,as indicated by the recent Phys. Ede convention at Wichita. Too, I feel thet this type of research will add prestige to our professional department. I hope that you will feel that the above will meritfan increase in salary.
