The article analyzes health care as an aspect of improving a lesson in primary school. Health care is characterized from the point of view of educational and social categories. It was found out that the problem of preserving the health of a child is not a new one and was highlighted by outstanding teachers of the past. There has been gained a great foreign experience of attracting students to a healthy lifestyle. Certain pedagogical techniques that can be implemented in the context of health care were disclosed. The role of school environment in general and teachers in particular in the formation of healthy lifestyle of younger pupils in Ukraine is analyzed. Students’ health from year to year is getting worse. The issue of maintaining the health of the younger generation in society nowadays is of great importance and requires specific solutions in daily school practice. The pupils’ illnesses rate, decreased working capacity, fatigue and, as a consequence, the decreasing in the quality of knowledge are the objects of main concern. Therefore the problem of health care in the educational process has become for us of highest priority and relevance. Progressive ideas of health care for a long time attracted the attention of famous teachers, such as V. Sukhomlinsky, K. Ushinsky, A. Makarenko, G. Skovoroda etc. Many democratic educators, such as G. Skovoroda had a significant influence on the development of educational traditions of a healthy lifestyle. The concept of a healthy lifestyle can be also found in Western literature (D. Bell, P. Berger, N. Geyser, A. Gehlen, I. Richter, and others). In Particular, D. Bell believes that the ideal of a «healthy society» is a «paternalistic type» of social structure. Thus, the afore said allows concluding that contemporary school practice has considerable developments in the implementation of health care perspectives of primary school lessons improvement. It was found out that health care technology helped teachers to resist school forms of pathology with the help of pedagogical means. However, at present stage the conceptual and practical developments in health care in the educational process are not actually been taken into account. Theoretical significance and the lack of practical research of this problem open many prospects for its further studies.
Anthropology as a science provides basic knowledge on interpopulation, interspecies, intrapopulation, dimorphic and ontogenetic variability. The paper presents the notion of health and illness from the historical perspective (from the Palaeolithic through Ancient Greece and Rome to contemporary times). The author describes mutual theoretical and practical relations of anthropology with health, and indicates health measures used to evaluate the health status of a population (both positive and negative). In promoting health by doctors, PE teachers and valeologists, he emphasizes indispensable knowledge regarding such notions as a norm of reaction, adaptive norm, adaptability, adjustment (including health, vigour of life, extensivity) or homeostasis and homeorhesis.
