Ethics Audit of a Therapeutic Recreation Course
Nisbett, Nancy; Hinton, Jennifer
College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, v4 n2 p15-20 2008
The purpose of this study was to enhance awareness of the presence of ethics education within the allied health discipline of therapeutic recreation. To achieve this end, a curriculum audit was conducted in a therapeutic recreation course to determine the existence of ethics education within the course. Included topics, methods of delivery, and degree of student-initiation were all considered. Findings suggest the frequent presence of ethics content; however, an explicit connection between the course content and ethics was not always made. Discussion was found to be the main delivery method. Recommendations are discussed.
