Abstract

Drs. Colleen Lewis and Mary Schutten of the Movement Science Department conducted a research study which looked at important factors that influenced physical education teachers to attend graduate school. States with varying requirements were used to help certify these factors. The variables discussed in this study could be helpful in explaining why graduate school for physical education teachers is important. Our task as statistical consultants was to analyze the data and determine what important aspects led these teachers to graduate education. This will provide insight about how graduate programs should focus their attention to attract future physical education teachers.
