Abstract: Drawing from media techniques and the new curriculum designs available, it was the purpose of this study to develop and evaluate tape recordings as motivation for older youth towards concept learning in health education. In addition, there were supplementary materials prepared, which consisted of background information about the subject, concepts and teaching objectives, discussion questions, factual information, and student and instructor evaluation sheets. The concepts for the study were selected from the School Health Education Study's Health Education: A Conceptual Approach to Curriculum Design. The tapes and accompanying materials were used and evaluated as a motivational medium with senior high and freshmen college youth to encourage understanding and an appreciation of effective health behavior. From the evaluation sheets, written comments by the students gave evidence that a vast majority showed progress towards this understanding and appreciation, and had knowledge and comprehension of the health concepts and subconcepts presented.
