Prozdravotná edukácia ako stratégia prevencie zdravotných a sociálno-patologických problémov u rómskych žiakov zo sociálne znevýhodneného prostredia
Pro-health education as a strategy of preventing health-related and social-pathological problems in Roma students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds

Summary/Abstract: The paper provides a theoretical and an empirical analysis of pro-health education (education to health) in Roma students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. The data, knowledge and experiences obtained by means of a questionnaire survey enable us to come up with proposals and recommendations for teachers and school managers in relation to pro-health education within the primary school level. The paper emphasises the modification and innovation of health-preventing education strategies and procedures by drawing on systematic evaluation of the current situation in education. Furthermore, there are specified specifice forms and methods of education that make it possible to generate, stabilize and interiorize health-related values and principles in Romany students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. These can potentially be projected onto Romany families and communities. In addition, we discuss the future of the education to health in the process of developing the cognitive, socio-affective and psychomotor facets of personality of Romany students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. Finally, the paper takes into consideration the position of a primary school teacher as a person responsible for pro-health education.
