Health education in school textbooks: concrete examples during the period 1930-1950

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the treatment of health education in school textbooks during the period 1930-1950, and to compare it with the one that is conducted at present. It will attempt to verify how many current concepts and ideas were already present in those decades. In addition, the differences in the way of carrying out health education then and now will be outlined, especially those referred to pedagogic strategies and didactic materials. All this will be done from a double perspective: 1. The concept of health, hygiene and pedagogy of health education. 2. The program contents of health education in the didactic materials.
