Establishing a Detailed and Standardized Content for Health-related College Curriculums

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the content of college course curriculums within the department of physical education, to develop a detailed and standardized set of content elements for health-related courses. This study performed a content analysis that analyzed several elective courses that included ‘Exercise and Health’, ‘Sports Science’, ‘Sports and Living’, and ‘Physical Education’. The findings indicated that for the health education course curriculums reviewed in this study: 1) the topic of “health” was addressed in those courses related to ‘Physical Education’, 2) “a relationship between exercise and health” was discussed in the courses on ‘Exercise and Health’, 3) “sports and safety” was covered in those courses on ‘Sports and Living’, and 4) “exploration of physical education” was addressed in the coursework related to ‘Physical Education and Science’. Developing a standardized curriculum for health related courses has gained prominence due to recent changes related to the national physical education curriculum revisions enacted in 2015. This set of changes excluded important content elements within elective courses, eliminating such topics as school violence, sexual violence, exercise and nutrition, and favorite foods and health. Those revised curriculum changes did incorporate such additional content elements as sports and safety, and first aid. In addition to identifying a standardized set of content elements for health-related courses, the study indicated the need for physical education curriculums to emphasize the development of the student’s ability to self-manage personal aspects of a healthy lifestyle, which should include promoting improved physical, psychological, and social well-being.
