Overview
This unit is designed to develop and enhance your health-related knowledge, skills and capabilities as a Health and Physical Education (HPE) pre-service teacher. With its focus on content mastery and the practical application of a variety of perspectives, processes and practices of health and health promotion in Australian society and internationally, the unit aims to provide you with a strong health knowledge base for broad application in a variety of future employment and health education contexts. Central to this, is the exploration of current research and practices in relation to the health status of Australians, youth health issues (for example drug use, food and nutrition, body image, and safety), health inequities, with a specific focus on developing skills to design and evaluate effective health promotion strategies. In this unit, careful consideration, care and respect is given to the ways in which health is experienced differently by various groups and individuals thus developing cultural competencies and interpersonal skills.
