Health Education.

This article focuses on the research that deals with the content and the process of health education. Measurement of the achievement of health education objectives continued to receive considerable attention in the form of comparative effectiveness studies. The theory underlying the conceptual approach to curriculum development in health education is that the identification of major concepts and supporting generalizations from a discipline facilitates the organization of its knowledge and forms a structure for developing relationships. The research found that classroom teachers appear to be more flexible and better able to deal with some kinds of health problems than might be expected.
