Leisure Education Program Planning: A Systematic Approach

This significantly revised edition has been rewritten based upon substantial input from students, faculty, and professionals in the field. The most significant change to this book is noted by the expansion of the initial section of the book, from six to ten chapters. Attention has been given to the foundations and potential of leisure education, attitudes toward leisure and motivation for participation, constraints to participation and their management, leisure education promotion and facilitation, updated ways to teach and adapt leisure education programs, and multicultural issues. The next section contains leisure education programs associated with six leisure education components which have been identified, field tested, and evaluated since 1991. These include awareness of leisure, appreciation of leisure, awareness of self in leisure, self-determination in leisure, interacting socially during leisure, using resources which facilitate leisure, and making decisions about leisure.John Dattilo is the author of 'Leisure Education Program Planning: A Systematic Approach' with ISBN 9781892132055 and ISBN 1892132052.
