Overview
This unit enables you to build strong historical, philosophical, curriculum and pedagogical foundations in the field of school-based health education. Through an examination of national and international education and health policies and relevant research literature, you will critically analyse how policy imperatives shape both contemporary curriculum and pedagogical priorities in health education. Drawing on literature and research studies, you will critically explore how curriculum and pedagogical imperatives are enacted in diverse educational and professional contexts. Working collaboratively and independently, you will review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise your knowledge and skills as you work towards advancing your capacities in this field.
