Physical educators will soon be confronted with having to demonstrate measurable and recognizable results of their teaching, particularly in terms of student physical, recreational, and social skills; this requires not only a focus on broad objectives, but a specific focus on short-term objectives that can be taught systematically. Behavioral objectives and analyses, for example, might address the following: social development and socialization in children, attitudes toward physical activity, and problems of the handicapped. For many physical education programs, accountability will require concentrating resources in a single area to demonstrate genuine valuable accomplishments. (DS)
