{"product_id":"9781466913028","title":"Management of Sport and Physical Activity: (The Case Method Approach)","description":"  \u003cp\u003eDr. Zeigler, the author of Management of Sport and Physical Activity   (The Case Method Approach), is convinced that The Harvard Case Method    should be used much more extensively and much more knowledgeably in   sport and physical activity management in the 21st century. Using this   teaching technique students read, analyzed, and then discussed “real life”   administrative problems like those they would have to face in their future   careers. The emphasis was on careful analysis and ”digging” for facts. The   instructor was very important with this approach, but he\/she did not   dominate the discussion or seek a predetermined goal. He\/she served as   (1) a resource person, (2) an evaluator of progress, (3) an informed   member of the group, (4) a discussion chairperson, and (5) a   summarizer.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe student will find, however, that no new supply of “knowledge” is   included–one that must be learned. Here instead is \u003ci\u003ean approach\u003c\/i\u003e   to the learning of management that the prospective manager of sport and   physical activity has not yet met satisfactorily to a truly significant degree.   This text can be used by itself at either undergraduate or graduate levels   of instruction, or it may be used as a laboratory manual in conjunction with   a more traditional, knowledge-oriented text. (For example, the author’s   \u003ci\u003eManagement Theory and Practice in Physical Activity Education   (Including Athletics)\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 2010 with this in mind (also   available at Trafford Publishing, Bloomington, IN. www.trafford.com)\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eDown through the years of the twentieth century, the case method of   instruction attracted favorable attention steadily and increasingly in   business, law, educational administration, and the social sciences.  Many   who have managed programs, and who have perhaps taught “the   management course” in the professional program, have felt the need for   an improved approach to the subject at hand.  Try it youself; you and your   students (!) won’t be disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173122883824,"sku":"9781466913028","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466913028_p0.jpg?v=1763689440","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466913028","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
