Reflection, Recognition, Reaffirmation: An Engaging Frame of Reference for Leisure Education

by Jeff Witman, Mary Ligon, Tom Blaschko (Editor)

Reflection Recognition Reaffirmation: An Engaging Frame of Reference for Leisure Education (2nd Edition) is a practical handbook for implementing leisure education programs with a variety of populations in varied settings. Each chapter provides numerous clearly defined activities that can be easily incorporated into programming. The notion of a sequential approach (Reflection Recognition Reaffirmation) represents a process in which program participants move from contemplation to action in creating more positive lifestyles. First, participants are engaged in experiences that encourage them to consider leisure as something with unique meanings to them (Reflection). Next, they're involved in activities that allow for some clarification of the role of leisure in their lives (Recognition). Finally, participants are asked to consider where they want to go with what they've learned about themselves (Reaffirmation).

In addition to The Three Rs, further chapters highlight the role of leisure
