Health Education

Introduction

This is the official site of Health and Physical Education course. Here you'll receive all the updated information about your course, classes, schedules, news and tasks. 

Task

Health Related Tasks

Health-related tasks involve many aspects of daily function, including personal hygiene and nutrition, safety and comfort, physical fitness, sleep quality, stress management, as well as the planning and coordination to accomplish these personal tasks. Health care–specific tasks may entail obtaining routine health examinations, screenings, and immunizations, instituting prescribed treatment, monitoring disease progression and treatment response, and implementing personal care.

Health Maintenance

Students are are advised to engage in various self-help and self-care behaviors that may enhance their general health and well-being or enable early detection and treatment of disease. These important behaviors include consuming a balanced diet, being physically active, and getting adequate sleep for one’s age or stage of development. Additional personal health habits involve proper hand washing and personal hygiene, appropriate use of vitamin and mineral supplements and avoidance of smoking, illicit drug use. Age- and gender-appropriate physical and oral health examinations, immunizations, and screenings at recommended intervals are disease prevention measures. 

Activities of Daily Living (ADL's)

 it is commonly used to describe the functional capabilities of individuals. ADLs pertain to personal care and include bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding, toileting and continence, ambulation, and transfers (i.e., moving from one surface to another, such as from bed to chair or wheelchair to toilet). Although it is developmentally appropriate for infants and toddlers to require help with ADLs, assistance with these activities may be required by people of any age who have physical, cognitive, sensory/perceptual, or emotional impairments.

Physical Activities

Physical activity can be anything that increases heart rate or stresses normal body physiology. Several things done through the day can be considered physical activity. Here is just a small sample of potential daily tasks, which can count as physical activity:  

  • Climbing stairs
  • Walking to the mailbox or around a store
  • Yard work and/or gardening
  • House cleaning  
  • Playing catch or outdoor games.

Process

Step 1:

On the resources page you will find links, Follow the links and read the articles. After reading the stories choose one article that inspired you, and right an essay on it.

Step 2:

Using the Resources Page you will select one aspect and go to the other websites and construct a visual timeline of that specific aspect.

Step 3:

After creating the visual timeline make a schedule of activities you normally do at home and add some more activities from it so that you can practically implement those activities.

Step 4:

Now it is a team work time! Each member will discuss his expert area findings to other three members of the team one by one. When all the members have taken their teaching turns, your team must create a chart in which you make logical connections between all the important points which you just learnt from each other. You must also compare your researched information categorically. Make your chart as concrete and persuasive as possible. Remember your team chart should address all the points provided in the task tab. 

Step 5:

Presentation Day: You must be prepared to present your Health Education projects. You must sit in your group and participate actively in the presentations. Each group will be given 15-16 minutes to present their case. Volunteers will have adequate knowledge about the health education practices.
