Three Approaches to School Health Education as a Means to Higher Levels of Health Literacy
2014
It is widely acknowledged that school health education is an important means for supporting the development of pupils’ health literacy.

This paper aims to do this. It does so by representing three approaches to school health education: the facts and skills approach, the individual thinking approach, and the personal growth and citizenship approach. The approaches diffe…
