ABSTRACT

Health promoting schools (HPS) and Healthy Schools Award Schemes from a number of countries have demonstrated positive changes in children's health behaviours and the culture and organisation of the school. The Hong Kong Healthy Schools Award Scheme (HKHSA) aims to promote staff development, parental education, involvement of the whole school community, and linkage with different stakeholders to improve the health and well-being of the pupils, parents and staff, and the broader community, supported by a system to monitor the achievement. This concept is very much in line with the research literature on school effectiveness and improvement. The indicators examined to evaluate the success of the HKHSA reflect outcomes related to both health and education and are not limited to changes in population health status. The early results demonstrated significant improvements in various aspects of student health and also improvement in school culture and organisation. The evaluation framework described in this paper and data collected to assess how schools perform in the HKHSA scheme, provides insight into how HPSs could lead to better outcomes for both education and health.

ABSTRACT

Esta obra facilita a los educadores un conjunto sumamente práctico de datos, proyectos, juegos, ilustraciones, cuentos y modelos de preguntas que pueden utilizar para enseñar a los niños la importancia de los hábitos sanos, en particular los relativos a la alimentación, la higiene personal y el ambiente doméstico. Por ejemplo, se explica con pormenores la manera de poner en marcha un huerto escolar; cómo elaborar la ficha de crecimiento de una clase escolar; y las reglas de un juego de "guerra de gérmenes" que ayuda a comprender la forma como los microorganismos invaden el organismo humano. Sobresale en todo el texto la insistencia en los me-dios sencillos e imaginativos para corregir los errores --tan comunes en los países en desarrollo-- con respecto a la inocuidad de los alimentos, la nutrición y la higiene personal. El manual contiene siete unidades didácticas que pueden usarse en cualquier orden. En diversos capítulos se abordan los aspectos prácticos de la conservación y la manipulación higiénicas de los alimentos, la potabilización del agua, la evacuación de desechos y la forma de crear un ambiente doméstico saludable. Se orienta asimismo a los maestros para que sepan explicar a los niños por qué necesita agua el organismo, los tipos de alimentos que debemos consumir para mantenernos sanos y los medios por los cuales las infecciones y otras enfermedades pueden propagarse a la comunidad. El libro está profusamente ilustrado y presenta muchísimas sugerencias para inducir a los alumnos a participar en actividades prácticas que reforzarán lo aprendido y les ayudarán a apreciar la importancia de esos nuevos conocimientos para su vida fuera de la escuela. Se recomienda también alentar la participación de los padres y los líderes de la comunidad en muchas de estas actividades, como otra vía para difundir los mensajes sencillos, pero de importancia vital, de la obra

ABSTRACT

Gives educators a highly practical collection of facts, advice, projects, games, illustrations, stories, and sample questions for use in teaching children the importance of healthy habits, particularly concerning food, personal hygiene and the home environment. Details range from advice on how to start a school garden or design a class growth chart to instructions for a game of germ warfare that illustrates how pathogens invade the human body. Throughout, emphasis is placed on simple, imaginative tools for correcting errors of food safety, nutrition, and personal hygiene commonly found in developing countries. The book consists of seven self-contained teaching units which can be used in any sequence. Various chapters deal with the practical aspects of storing and handling food safely, making water fit to drink, disposing of wastes, and maintaining a healthy home environment. Teachers are also given guidance on explaining to children exactly why the body needs water, the types of food needed by the body to stay healthy, and the means by which infection and disease can be spread through a community. Liberally illustrated, the book contains numerous suggestions for involving school children in practical activities that will reinforce what they learn and help them to appreciate the relevance of their new knowledge to their lives outside the school. Participation by parents and community leaders in many of these activities is also encouraged as yet another route for spreading the book's simple yet vital messages

ABSTRACT

Ce livre offre à l'éducateur tout un ensemble de faits, de conseils, de projets, de jeux, d'illustrations et de questions types extrêmement pratiques pour enseigner aux enfants l'importance des habitudes d'hygiène, s'agissant en particulier des aliments, du corps et de l'environnement domestique. On y trouve des conseils sur la façon de créer un potager, ou encore les règles d'un jeu de la "guerre des microbes" qui illustre la façon dont les agents pathogènes envahissent le corps humain, en passant par l'élaboration d'un diagramme de croissance de la classe. Tout au long, simplicité et imagination caractérisent les moyens proposés pour corriger les erreurs fréquemment commises dans les pays en développement sur la sécurité des denrées alimentaires, la nutrition et l'hygiène personnelle. Le livre est divisé en sept unités d'enseignement utilisables dans n'importe quel ordre. Il y est notamment question des précautions pratiques à prendre pour l'entreposage et la manipulation des aliments, de la purification de l'eau, de l'évacuation des déchets et de la préservation d'un environnement domestique salubre. Le maître y trouvera aussi des indications sur la façon d'expliquer aux enfants pourquoi exactement le corps a besoin d'eau, quels aliments il lui faut pour rester en bonne santé, et comment les infections et maladies peuvent se propager dans une communauté. Abondamment illustré, cet ouvrage propose de nombreux exercices pratiques qui consolideront les connaissances théoriques des écoliers et les aideront à apprécier l'utilité de leur nouveau savoir dans la vie extrascolaire. Les auteurs encouragent aussi la participation des parents et responsables de la communauté à bon nombre de ces exercices, car c'est là une autre façon de faire connaître les messages simples -et pourtant vitaux- que contient ce livre
