Download or read book Development of a Peer Health Education Program PHEP on the Cal State LA Campus A Program for Students by Students written by Erin Melissa McIntyre and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that college students are notoriously under researched, underserved and are at an increased risk of developing health issues related to newfound independence upon leaving home and entering into the higher education system. Eating habits are one of the strongest contributing factors to health problems in college students, and one that should be given specific attention during this period. Socioeconomic and demographic data of the student population at Cal State LA suggest that a nutrition focused peer counseling program would be beneficial, seeing as other similar resources are not readily available at this time. This project spearheads the introduction of a Peer Health Education Program (PHEP) on the Cal State LA campus, with a focus on nutrition education. PHEP also seeks to provide experiential learning to nutrition upperclassmen interested in gaining valuable counseling skills. Peer education programs have been frequently utilized in the past due to their mutually beneficial nature for all parties, their cost effectiveness, and their adaptability.
Download or read book Is Peer Health Education Healthy Examining the Susceptibility of Peer Educators to Emotional Contagion written by Lucas Joseph Youngvorst and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role of peer educators within Peer Health Education programs, specifically focusing on their susceptibility to emotional contagion. As various studies have identified the potential effect of emotional contagion within positions similar to PHE (ie. counseling, therapy, etc..), the susceptibility of peer educators to this contagion must be analyzed. The present study seeks to draw connections between PHE and emotional contagion, building our understanding of both topics and how they connect. Peer educators from across the country were contacted and asked to complete an online survey, which examined their general and PHE specific demographics, susceptibility to emotional contagion in a general and PHE specific setting, resilience, and potential lingering effects of emotional contagion. Through multiple types of analysis, including correlations, regressions, and univariate one-way ANOVA's, results regarding the susceptibility of peer educators to emotional contagion, resilience, and the lingering effects of emotional contagion were inconclusive. However, this study elevates essential information regarding peer educators within PHE. Despite a review of literature suggesting the potential applicability of emotional contagion among peer educators, participant responses were varied. Further, responses to resilience varied as well. An examination is aimed at why peer educators do not reliably respond to emotional contagion and resilience scales. Further, this study provides insight into the theoretical mechanisms within Peer Health Education, ultimately advancing our understanding of the program as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Core practices—content-specific practices that offer strategies to support student learning—are common in many subject areas but have been curiously missing for health educators . . . until now. Core Teaching Practices for Health Education is a compact and precise book that serves up effective core teaching practices for preservice and practicing health educators as well as for health teacher educators. Teachers can apply the evidence-based practical tips and strategies the minute they step into their classrooms; even veteran instructors will discover new teaching tactics that will be useful. Core Teaching Practices for Health Education offers the following: Twenty-first-century teaching skills that are specific to health education Practices that are highly transferable across the spectrum of health education and applicable across grade levels Fifteen concise and practical chapters, each of which details a core practice in action, explains the practice, gives additional examples of the practice, and provides clear guidance on how to use the practice in health classrooms Great Prep for Teaching Assessments Such as the edTPA The text is a great resource for aspiring teachers as they embark on their student teaching semester and as they prepare for teaching assessments such as the edTPA, increasingly required in many states. They will learn how to design lesson plans, unit plans, and complete health education curricula to effectively teach health concepts and skills; this directly relates to the video portion of the edTPA. In addition, the book’s final two chapters directly relate to the Analyzing Teaching portion of the edTPA Ideal for Preparing Curriculum In addition, Core Teaching Practices for Health Education is ideal for teachers who are charged with creating health curricula for middle and high school programs—and for other teachers who are thrust into the role of health educators with little or no health education background. Book Organization Core Teaching Practices for Health Education is organized into three parts. Part I introduces the idea of core practices and focuses on planning to teach health education (e.g., big ideas, enduring understandings, essential questions, sequencing health content, assessment). Part II explores the pedagogy of health education, including organizational routines and procedures, building a safe and caring environment that is focused on learning, and adapting instruction to meet the needs of students. Part III guides readers through reflective practices on teaching and lesson improvement. Each core practice has its own chapter. Perfect Companion to Two Other Guides This affordable guide is a perfect companion to Essentials of Teaching Health Education, Second Edition, by Sarah Benes and Holly Alperin (Human Kinetics, 2022) and Health Education edTPA Online Preparation Guide by Stacy Furness (Human Kinetics, 2022). For future teachers in states that require the edTPA, these three resources supply everything they need to become successful health educators. Preservice teachers, current teachers, and health teacher educators will find Core Teaching Practices for Health Education to be of lasting value as they use the book’s health-education-specific teaching practices to improve teaching and learning.
Download or read book Sex and America s Teenagers written by Alan Guttmacher Institute and published by Alan Guttmacher Institute. This book was released on 1994 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although sexual activity is common among teenagers, it is not as widespread, and does not begin as early, as most adults believe. This report provides detailed data and analysis of sex among adolescents. Adolescent sexual activity is grouped in ten categories: (1) Rites of passage; (2) The context of adolescents' lives; (3) Sex among teenagers; (4) Risks and prevention of unintended pregnancy and STDs; (5) Incidence and consequences of STDs; (6) Adolescent pregnancy; (7) Outcomes of adolescent pregnancies; (8) Adolescent mothers and their children; (9) Organized responses to adolescent sexual and reproductive behavior; and (10) Where do we go from here? Although young people's sexual behavior today is broadly seen as problematic, no consensus exists as to what the problem is. Most adolescents have always experienced sex, but in the past it was closely linked to marriage, especially for young women. However, over the last century, puberty has slowly moved to earlier ages, as has the initiation of sexual activity, while marriage has been postponed to later years. Adolescents live in a more diverse country than the one their parents knew -- society, family, violence, and sexual messages differ dramatically from the standards of the previous generation. Included in this booklet are numerous graphs. Citations appear for all data. (Contains over 200 references.) (RJM)
