Introduction: According to medical statistical data, health condition of Polish young generation is worsening. Both, children and adults, tend to suffer from lingering diseases. The reason for it is to be found in ageing of the society, lowering standard of life of many families in Poland, overuse of chemical substances, air pollution, alcohol abuse and a variety of alcohol-related diseases. Further factors to be blamed are: drug abuse and addiction, neglecting one’s health condition or lack of physical activity. This is worsened by lack of sufficient financial means from the government for nationwide prophylaxis and treatment. One of essential elements of healthy life and good health is regular physical activity, taking care of wellness and fitness of one’s body. Lack of physical activity may lead to numerous lingering diseases and disorders, mainly heart and circulatory diseases, obesity, vertebral diseases and spine curvature disorders, pulmonary diseases, etc. Physical activity is not only perceived as a significant factor in a human being development, but also a positive measurement of human health. Aim: To establish role of health in one’s declared axiological system in the context of health education od candidates for professional soldiers. Material and method: The research was carried out among soldiers of the Land Forces Training Centre in Poznań. Results: Good health was rarely among selected symbols of personal happiness. Conclusions: New curricula for training of professional soldiers should be written in such a way that they provide support for candidates within the domain of healthy lifestyle with both, theoretical and practical knowledge.

The concept of school promoting health has evolved from the general assumptions concerning health promotion that are developed by the World Health Organization. In Poland the concept of the school is still developing and it undergoes certain modifications. Thirty-four schools and other educational institutions create the town school promoting health network. Each of them has their own health program. School promoting health in Chelm area project puts a new, wider look at health issues; coordinates operations, aiming at children and young people health improvement. Moreover, it guarantees education for health, shaping the feeling of a high self- esteem and healthy lifestyle and also responsibility for their own and other people's health. The operations carried out within the school promoting health network enables Chelm educational institutions to be present in the town, province, Polish and European schools promoting health network. They help to establish, keep contacts and also exchange experiences between schools promoting health in other Polish and European towns and cities; they promote Chelm and its educational institutions.

Effective health-oriented education in the area of sports and recreation events organization - is not a goal which is easy to achieve. The idea is certainly worthy of attention, since the benefits can be passed on to the organizer, sponsor and the entire society. The purpose of this paper is to present sports and recreation events as a means of promoting physical culture and health-oriented education. Motions, proposals, and preconditions (as described here) of effective educational intervention in the organization of events are based on 15-years-long secret (hidden) participatory observation of 141 different (in terms of their organizational specifics) street runs - both in Poland and in the neighbouring countries - Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Sports and recreation events can become an effective instrument of education for a healthy lifestyle only if they are widely available (easily accessible), if they draw media attention, are popular, cyclical (recurring), have a specific program and atmosphere. The organizers of events in the area of physical recreation should not encourage competition but rather educate for regular participation in health-oriented training, while active participation in sports and recreation event might fit in the pre-planned health capacity control. For sports and recreation events to become a carrier of socially desirable values such as health or healthy lifestyle, promoters should intentionally put emphasis on these values and place them above commercial or marketing strategies of sponsors.

Health education in Spanish schools is still considered as a controversial subject, which Educational laws and programs have always faced ambiguously. This report presents adolescents’ opinion about health education in their schools. In particular, which curricular and extracurricular aspects are being developed, and which strengths and problems related to health education they identify in their educational centers. Based on the situational analysis, we make a quick diagnosis of the state in which health education stands, in order to find a starting point for the improvement. We conducted 15 depth interviews with Romanian and Spanish students in 3 teaching centers of the South of Spain. The qualitative analysis of data was carried out using Atlas Ti, version 7. The results show that participants do not consider schools as the main source of health learning, while family, peers and technologies are seen as more significant agents. In secondary schools, most of the information related to health is received through outside educational programs, and it is seen as ineffective because they are partial, merely informative and not continuous over time. The main health problems in secondary schools identified were stress and bullying, and we may consider as relevant the existence of discrimination based on origin or precedence. Furthermore, participants provide an essentialized, stereotyped and inferior vision of health in other foreign continents (Africa) and religions (Islam). Adolescents portrays a School far from health, with a traditional health education model and a biomedical conception of health. This scenario suggest a need to bring back the Perugia School approach based on developing dialectical, praxiological and transcultural methodologies and where students could get involved and participate in their own health learning.

Based on health promotion programmes and strategies, it can be observed that the majority of the proposed measures should be aimed at preventive efforts taken before any health or epidemiological issues arise.It must be emphatically stressed that health awareness among the Poles is low, and, for this reason, lifestyle diseases, for instance, are often diagnosed at the later stages, when advanced changes have already started. This is also the reason why health education is of vital importance, especially in terms of improving health awareness. A short questionnaire entitled Health Consciousness in the Future Orientation Perspective has been prepared. This questionnaire can be applied as a screening tool to help identify individuals with low health awareness, and thus facilitate the practice of more effective educational activities. The questionnaire includes 18 items which focus on the three main areas: 1) the search for and application of health-related information, and the trend towards a healthy lifestyle and health vigilance; 2) the responsibility for taking care of one’s own health in the present and in future times; 3) the motivation to lead a healthy lifestyle as an individual tendency towards healthy behaviour, aimed at health problem prevention and health condition improvement. The reliability of the scale was determined on the basis of Cronbach’s alpha, in which the value of alpha was 0.874, and the values of the specific scales were I – 0.836, II – 0.838, III-0.601.

Odwołując się do programów i strategii związanych z działaniami na rzecz zdrowia, można zauważyć, iż gros zabiegów ma koncentrować się na działaniach profilak-tycznych, wyprzedzających pojawienie się problemów zdrowotnych oraz epidemiologicznych.Zdecydowanie należy podkreślić, że świadomość zdrowotna Polaków jest mała, stąd często choroby, np. cywilizacyjne, wykrywane są w późnych stadiach rozwoju. Z tego względu istotna staje się edukacja zdrowotna.Przygotowano krótki kwestionariusz Świadomość zdrowotna w orientacji przyszłościowej, który może spełnić rolę narzędzia przesiewowego, umożliwiającego wyłonienie osób o małej świadomości zdrowotnej. Ma on szansę podnieść skuteczność działań edukacyjnych. Kwestionariusz zawiera 18 itemów skupionych w trzech wymiarach: (1) poszukiwanie i wykorzystanie informacji dotyczących zdrowia, a także orientacja na zdrowy styl życia oraz czujność zdrowotną, (2) odpowiedzialność za dbanie o zdrowie obecnie i w przyszłości, (3) motywacja zdrowotna jako indywidualna orientacja zdrowotna w kierunku zapobiegania ewentualnym problemom zdrowotnym i zwiększenia dobrostanu zdrowotnego. Rzetelność skali określono za pomocą wskaźnika alfa Cronbacha, który wynosi 0,874, a poszczególne skale miały wskaźniki rzędu: I – 0,836, II – 0,838, III – 0,601.

Pedagogy and Health Promotion

The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyze three aspects of the relationship between general pedagogy and Health education. Two different doctoral dissertations on Health education, claimed to be written from different scientific positions (hermeneutic and positivistic), were analyzed from science--philosophical, knowledge-theoretical and methodological points of view. The analysis showed that none of the dissertations contained any deeper discussion on science-philosophical or knowledge-theoretical issues and that both of the dissertations were written mainly in the hermeneutic tradition. The reason for this is probably that Health education, especially promotive Health education, handles divergent questions that seldom, or never, can be handled with positivistic methods. One consequence of this is that the results of research on promotive Health education rarely, or never, are normative and can tell how to teach about health in a specific educational situation. Instead the results can be used as a background for didactic reflection whey planning and realizing Health education initiatives. Another consequence is that the present trend with demand for evidence based Health education, can be questioned! Because promotive Health education is so heavily loaded with divergent questions, and because pedagogical research, according to Habermas, has an emancipatory or critical “knowledge interest”. Research can explain what is going on in one situation but not predict what will happen in a similar, but other situation! Therefore this paper argues that the idea of evidence based, promotive health education is hard, or impossible, to realize.

The ‘Little Medic’ project has been carried out at Poznan University of Medical Sciences for six years. It enjoys great popularity. Every year, about 400 pupils from primary schools from Poznan and the surrounding area in the age of 6–12 participate in it. The study aims to present the organizational specificity of the ‘Little Medic’ project, and the opinions about it expressed by teachers participating in the project with their students. At the end of each academic year, teachers take part in an anonymous survey summarizing and assessing the project. The first part of the article presents the method of the ‘Little Medic’ project organization. In particular, it describes the elements distinguishing the project from other children’s universities in Poland. The second part presents the analysis of evaluation data collected during the six years of the project. Long experience in running classes for children as part of the ‘Little Medic’ project allows for conclusions about the usefulness and innovativeness of this form of lesson conduct, and the survey results confirm the high level of teachers’ satisfaction with the proposed way of organizing classes.

Background. Political changes in Poland resulted in the inclusion of health education to school as part of a teaching process, however it was introduced officially by the 1999 education reform. Physical education became an integral part of school curricula under the name of the “pro-health” educational path. The P.E. teacher has become one of the main organizers of the tasks related to health issues. The objective of this research was to collect information to what extent physical education classes, carried out at all school education levels, contributed to the development of health competencies of the students participating in this education reform project. Material and methods. The survey comprised 128 first-year university students of both sexes attending courses in either physical education or tourism and recreation. The research regarded the Kujawsko- Pomorskie and Pomorskie provinces. A survey method was applied, and the research tool utilized was a survey questionnaire. Results. According to the research findings the most significant input into health education was provided by a university and other sources of information. The most frequently indicated area of health education carried out in schools was physical education, whereas the smallest number of responders indicated emotional health. The issue of health at physical education classes was indicated by less than half of the responders. The most frequently indicated issues were education in personal hygiene, fair play attitude, and only a small percentage of the subjects were familiarized with the rules of toughening up. Conclusion. The possibilities that physical education may give as far as the development of all areas of health is concerned were not reflected in the respondents’ opinions

Objectives: The presented study explored health beliefs and experiences as well as health education needs of low-educated employees (LEEs) (incomplete primary, primary, lower secondary and basic vocational education) in comparison to those with higher education (secondary and tertiary education) in four European countries: Latvia, Poland, Slovenia and Spain. The main aim was to identify a specificity of low-educated employees (LEEs) by capturing their opinions, experiences, attitudes and needs concerning health education. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 1691 individuals with the status of an employee (approximately 400 respondents in each of 4 countries participating in the project). The respondents were aged 25-54 (both the control group and the target group consisted in 1/3 of the following age groups: 25-34, 35-44 and 45-54). The respondents were interviewed during the years 2009 and 2010 with a structured questionnaire concerning their health, health behaviours as well as educational needs concerning health education. Results: The study revealed substantial differences in the attitudes of people from this group concerning methodology of health education. LEEs prefer more competitions and campaigns and less written educational materials in comparison to those with higher education. Additionally, they more often perceive a fee, longer time, necessity to take part in a knowledge test and a concern that their health will be checked as factors that can discourage them from taking part in a health training. On the other hand, LEEs can by encouraged to take part in such a training by a media broadcast concerning the event, snacks or lottery during the training, or financial incentives. Conclusions: The results of the study proved the need for specific health education guidelines to conduct health education for low-educated employees. These guidelines should take in account the sources of health education preferred by LEEs as well as the factors that can encourage/discourage their participation in trainings concerning health.

An objective of general education core curriculum to include health education to the science subjects and physical education seemed to be reasonable. Health issue, which is an important part of the curriculum of life science and biology mentions about the health hazard of the young people, which include the risk of infectious diseases and diseases transmitted by sexual intercourse. These issues are known by students too little and often overlooked by teachers. It seems that between the health education in schools and the level of competencies of young people, there should be a correlation. Due to the growing interest in long-term investment in the health public, the role of education in the prevention of these diseases is significant.

Słusznym założeniem podstawy programowej kształcenia ogólnego było włączenie edukacji zdrowotnej do przedmiotów przyrodniczych i wychowania fizycznego. Problematy ka zdrowia, która stanowi ważną część programu nauczania przyrody i biologii uwzględnia zagrożenia zdrowotne młodego pokolenia, do których zaliczane jest ryzyko wystąpienia chorób zakaźnych oraz chorób przenoszonych drogą kontaktów seksualnych. Zagadnienia te są zbyt mało znane uczniom i często pomijane przez nauczycieli. Wydaje się, że pomiędzy edukacją zdrowotną w szkole a poziomem umiejętności młodzieży powinna istnieć korelacja. Ze względu na wzrastające zainteresowanie długofalową inwestycją w zdrowie społeczeństwa rola edukacji w zakresie profilak tyki tych chorób jest istotna.

It is an old pursuit to find the balance between nature and society (within the individual and the sum of people). In order to talk about a healthy society, it is necessarry to have the people making up the society healthy too. The health condition of the individuals affects the society, creating a close connection amoing individuals and society. Health, mental and physical well-beings of members of society affects the economy, since a healthy workforce leads to developing economy, which hence can provide the requirements and conditions that ensure a mentally and physically healthy way of living for the society. Sport, everyday exercise, therefore regular training can also play an important social role, and can greatly contribute to social well-being. Decreased physical activity, sitting lifestyle are both specific traits of economically developed countres, and turns into a more and more threatening public health problem world-wide, which contribute to the development or aggravation of such chronic diseases and health damages, like morbid obesity, heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, locomotor diseases, malignant tumors, depression. The topic of our research is related to mainly the subject of primary school healthcare programs. The measurements have been taken in 12 different educational institutions, which included primary, secondary, vocational schools, and a 6-grade school. The actuality of the topic is proven by the increased obesity appearing at more younger ages, and we intend to shed some light on the fact, that with a good healhcare strategy and short-term goals we can achieve positive results shortly on the fields of school healthcare.

Improving the health of the population, stopping and changing the disadvantage trends have long been one of the health policy objectives in the regions. Unfortunately in spite of the declared goals Hungary is far away from giving priority to health issues as they are not given proper attention either on individual or societal level. In modern societies local communities play an increasingly important role in the development of quality of life. Their activity, their influence over the power structures become dominant. Quality of life is made up of objective and subjective components. Their important sub-areas are health, financial situation, income situations, housing and social relationship. Quality of life studies are the most frequent health-related research studies, the most remarkable results have been achieved here. Healthrelated quality of life is one of the most important and maybe the most frequently researched dimension of quality of life showing how much health status contributes to the welfare of the individuals. The primary objective of the research studies the improvement of the health status of the population and within it the health status of the individual as well as the reduction of health inequalities can be designated. The improvement of the quality of life can be rationalized as health benefit for the society. Its two main components are the extension of the life expectancy and the increase in numbers of the resulting years. The health of the Hungarian population is said to be unfavourable in international comparison and it can also be stated that it is significantly poorer than it could be expected according to the socio-economic development level
