Objective: To explore the perceived attitudes toward continuing education and the deterrents to continuing education for certified athletic trainers (ATCs). Design and Setting: Data were collected using the Adults Attitudes Towards Continuing Education Scale (AATCES) instrument, Deterrents to Participation Scale-General (DPS-G) instrument, and self-reported demographics. Subjects: An imbedded on-line questionnaire was e-mailed three times in a 6-week period to ATCs who subscribe to the athletic trainers listserv at Indiana State University and the professional athletic trainers education listserv at Findlay University. The sample of this study consisted of approximately 1,200 ATCs of which 268 answered and returned the survey, a return rate of 22%. Measurements: Data included descriptive statistics, a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Cluster Analysis to compare the demographic groups on the AATCES and the DPS-G instruments. Results: This study found that the participants have a very positive attitude toward continuing education according to the AATCES instrument and that the participants report few deterrents through the DPS-G instrument. However, two deterrents of statistical importance were found in the items related to Time and Course Relevance and one deterrent, Cost, was found in the comparison to gender.Conclusions: This study found that ATCs have a very favorable attitude toward continuing education and that ATCs perceive few deterrents to continuing education. To further understand these trends in continuing education, these particular surveys must be made available to more ATCs. In addition, continuing education providers need to understand the needs of the ATCs that they serve.

Indiana State University is attempting to meet some of the unmet needs for competent environmental health manpower by: (a) encouraging participation in and assisting the national and local sanitarian associations, (b) promoting a program of studies in Environmental Health that prepares a Generalist in the field of Environmental Health (instead of a General Scientist who then needs considerable training by future employers), (c) preparing students to understand the broader health needs and other needs of society to show where Environmental Health fits into the picture, (d) actively recruiting students into the field, (e) working closely with existing competent health departments in providing necessary work experiences as part of the undergraduate program of studies, and (f) informing the public that the Sanitarian does not refer to “privy sniffer,” but rather to the Environmental Health practitioner who participates in community life and provides the services needed to prevent our environment from controlling us. We urge other universities to heed Dr. Hilleboe's advice to reorganize their curricula to meet the diverse needs of our constantly changing society.

Effective Teaching And Learning

Would you like to breathe energy into your university-school district partnership? At Indiana State University (ISU), two clinical immersion imperatives and four partnership contexts provide an innovative focus that adds deeper meaning and intentionality to educator preparation. Our educator preparation programs had been migrating to more clinically intensive programming for several years, but the support of our K-12 partners was essential if we were to emphasize early and continuous clinical teaching experiences to enhance preparation efforts. As a first step, we developed the distinctive Teachers of Tomorrow Advancing Learning (TOTAL) internship for elementary and special education majors and an immersion program for secondary and all-grades majors.
