Leisure Ed Content Area and Sub-category

The section, Leisure Awareness is designed to identify four areas essential in facilitating the development and expression of appropriate leisure lifestyle. The components are of Leisure Awareness are knowledge of leisure, self-awareness, leisure and play attitudes, and related participatory and decision-making skills. This contemporary approach of Leisure Awareness focuses on the understanding of leisure even if the individual does not immediately respond to leisure education programming because they are still exposed to information that can later be found useful.
