ABSTRACT
Introduction: A teacher is a person who educates others and is considered a role model to transmit the value of life. School is considered an important setting for comprehensive health promotion. Teachers can act as a bridge to pass health information and behaviour that they learn to students, families, and Communities. The major pivot in the present study is to assess the teacher’s trainees about health knowledge, attitude, and practices during their training course. Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of health-related topics in teacher’s training course Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the B Ed and D Ed colleges of field practice area with a sample size was 150. It was a questionnaire-based study. Information was collected based on the interview method. Results: Knowledge and practice were better in B Ed trainees. The attitude of the trainees is nearly equal. Conclusions: The disparity is majorly based on their previous educational status. Those who have opted for B Ed have passed degrees like B.SC or B.A and trainees doing D Ed have joined immediately after the completion of their 12th standard. Hence, their knowledge of health-related topics is limited compared to B Ed trainees
