Column: Current Literature Review

We are excited to debut this feature of the Athletic Training Education Journal. As busy educators, it is so difficult to keep up with the most current research in Athletic Training, let alone research in educational related areas. We hope this feature will allow you to have increased access to the educational research by previewing articles of interest to AT educators. Our charge is to monitor education related journals (i.e. Journal of Nursing Education, Journal of Higher Education, etc.) and identify articles which are the most applicable to our readers. We will provide brief synopses of the articles plus potential applications to AT education. I would like to thank the current reviewers for this feature: Courtney Burken, University of Mary-Hardin Baylor; David Diers, Governors State University; Jeff Bonacci, University of Arkansas; Toby Doré, University of Louisiana-Lafayette; and Tom Porrazzo, Alvernia College. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, comments, suggestions for this reoccurring feature, or if you would like to review an article that you feel is particularly applicable to athletic training educators. I would also like to hear about implementations you have made from the concepts we present in this feature – cm
