Description
This book is about the health education curriculum reform from the Finnish secondary school teachers' perspective. The book describes a research, the goal of which was to obtain information in order to prepare recommendations to increase the capacity of the teachers for two purposes; firstly, to manage with the changes and, secondly, to teach health education as their new teaching subject. It focuses on the reform-induced changes in teacher's work and on the enabling and the hindering factors of accomplishing the new task of teaching health education. It argues that there are four key factors of a successful adaptation of an educational change: vision, control, outer-resources and collegiality. Based on this, the recommendation is made that in order to increase teachers' capacity to adapt to the curriculum reform, the administration and school level should focus on these factors. This book is for teachers who are to teach health issues in schools, for principals whose role is to empower teachers to teach health issues, and for administration whose role is to prepare schools for educational reforms, and all the people interested in curriculum change in schools.
