  Easy as PIE: A recipe for approaching the Areas of Responsibility and Competencies for health education specialists

  Experiential learning to address the Seven Areas of Responsibility for health educators is scarce or limited in scope. The purpose of this article is to describe the process in which faculty applied a unique experiential learning model wherein students were involved in planning

  implementing

  and evaluating (PIE) a health promotion program over the course of an academic year. PIE is a unique model for developing a comprehensive health education curriculum aligning with the Seven Areas of Responsibility for health education specialists. This paper provides an overview of the past four years using the PIE model

  a summary of student programs

  and a synopsis of the various steps faculty employed to utilize this model as a means for students to apply classroom lecture to practical settings.

This research employed means-end theory and the laddering interview technique to better understand the range of meanings underlying older women’s motivations for engaging in sports- versus exercise-based leisure activities.
