Physical And Health Education: About 70 colleges and universities offer programs to train health education teachers, and the profession is growing. Members of the profession feel strongly that health education should not be considered a part of physical and health education education and that physical and health education education should not be a branch of health education. Some high schools now give a half year to physical and health education education and a half year to health instruction.
World War II brought a renewed focus on the role of the school in promoting good health. The traditional equating of health with physical and health education fitness, and health education with physical and health education education, was further perpetuated during this period. During the 1960's this concept was replaced by the identification of health education as a discipline separate from physical and health education education. The School Health Education Study, initiated with private funds in 1961, had the most significant impact in establishing health education as a separate discipline.
At the elementary school level health instruction is organized and conducted by the classroom teacher. In secondary schools it has been traditional to assign the responsibility for health education to physical and health education education teachers. A pattern frequently observed had one man functioning as teacher for physical and health education and health education classes and coach for athletics. In the 1960's a trend developed to make health education a separate course, taught by a specially trained teacher. |
