Book excerpt: Teaching AIDS begins with a discussion of how teachers can create an environment of support for an AIDS education programme. Recognizing that AIDS education must differ for students of different age groups, the author presents tailored, age-appropriate content - what and how teachers should communicate AIDS information to young children, older children and teenage students.Teaching AIDS also addresses actual methods teachers can use to influence their students' attitudes and behaviour by helping them to recognize problem situations in which risks might arise, and presenting them with the actual skills they need to protect themselves in such situations.

Download or read book Humanizing Pedagogy Through HIV and AIDS Prevention written by American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the power of educators to serve as HIV and AIDS prevention agents. The definitive text represents the work of a distinguished panel of teacher educators and health scientists who identify core information and skills effective educators of HIV and AIDS prevention should learn as they are prepared to attend to the academic and human needs of students. It assigns to teachers, in the US and abroad, the novel role of prevention agents, given their extraordinary ability to access and affect young people -- to influence their behavior. Humanizing Pedagogy considers the social, economic, racial, gender and other variables that impact the prevention of HIV and AIDS. The authors collectively assert that the process of preventing HIV and AIDS, when it considers historic and social context, can compel educators to serve not only as practitioners of knowledge, but as community agents of health and well being. Attending to HIV and AIDS issues advances the capacity and ability of educators to see and attend to the complete learner. Humanizing Pedagogy is a single volume resource for educators, in the US and abroad, interested in attending to the whole needs of the learner-and saving lives.

This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Pedagogy - Job Education, Occupational Training, Further Education, grade: 100, University of Central Florida (School of Nursing), language: English, abstract: HIV/AIDS is a very present pandemic and has claimed the lives of more than 35 million people worldwide. Persons living with HIV/AIDS often require health care during the course of their disease and in an array of healthcare settings. Nurses are often the frontrunners of patient care and it is essential that care is provided without bias, stigma or poor attitudes towards the patient. Although some countries offer HIV/AIDS education to student nurses, few have mandatory and standardized HIV/AIDS education. This review includes four studies that compare the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS education on stigmas and attitudes towards PLWHA. In consideration of the growing numbers of PLWHA, nursing students may benefit from generalized education to address attitudes and stigmas towards any patient, not just the PLWHA.

Download or read book Performative Praxis written by Jean Baxen and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely recognized that the South African government's exemplary HIV/AIDS education policy is not making the behaviour-changing impact that it ought. Why is this? What is actually happening in the school classroom? In this book, Jean Baxen makes an important contribution towards understanding the complex interface between the HIV/AIDS education curriculum and what and how teachers are teaching in the classroom. Bringing Judith Butler's theory of performativity to bear in an analysis of the pedagogic practice of a number of teachers in the Western Cape and Mpumalanga, the author shows how teachers' personal conception of their role and identity as educators plays a vitally important role in filtering and shaping the classroom transmission of key information and attitudes.

Download or read book High School Health Education Teachers Attitudes and Perceptions Related to Teaching HIV Prevention written by Scott William Herr and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that significantly influence the attitudes and perceptions of high school health education teachers relative to HIV prevention instruction. Despite a steady decrease in the number of diagnosed cases each year, HIV/AIDS continues to rank as one of the leading causes of illness and death in the United States. Individuals between the ages of 13 and 19 years are particularly vulnerable for HIV transmission, as evidenced by the steady increase in the number of reported infections in this age group over the past decade. Underlying this trend is a growing lack of awareness, a decreasing perception of vulnerability and a general lack of accurate knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS among adolescents and young adults in the United States. The CDC, along with a number of researchers in sexuality education, recommends that education about HIV prevention is most appropriate and effective when executed within the context of a comprehensive school health education program that establishes a foundation for understanding the relationships between personal behavior and health. While the CDC's 2006 School Health Policies and Practices study indicates that 31 states require instruction in HIV prevention, research indicates that there is great variability between states and individual districts in the provision of the requirements for the certification, licensure, and training in sexuality education of the teachers providing that instruction. The population of interest in this study was high school health education teachers in public school systems in the United States. A systematic random sample of 800 high school health education teachers representing states with mandates requiring instruction in HIV prevention and states with no such requirements was selected from a list of public high schools derived from the Common Core of Data (CCD) of the United States Department of Education's National Center for Educational Statistics database. An a priori power analysis, for external validity of the results, suggested a sample size of 374 completed surveys based on a 5% sampling error and 50/50 split in responses for a population of 11,250 schools. Sample size was determined based on alpha at .05, the effect size at .20 and 90% power. Based on response rates of studies with similar populations, a total of 800 surveys were sent to lead health education teachers in the selected high schools. Seventy-nine surveys were undeliverable, leaving a potential sample size of 721. A total of 362 high school health education teachers (50%) responded. While there is almost complete agreement (99%) among respondents in this study that HIV prevention instruction is needed, the results of this study indicate that there is significant variance in outcome expectations, efficacy expectations, perceived barriers and benefits, and attitudes of high school health education teachers about teaching HIV prevention. The factors in this study that emerged as most significantly influencing the attitudes and perceptions of high school health education teachers about teaching HIV prevention were related primarily to teacher preparation and training and the number of years of experience teachers had teaching health education. The presence of a state mandate requiring HIV prevention instruction was significantly associated with higher efficacy expectations and more perceived benefits by high school health education teachers, but did not appear to have significant influence in relation to practices in the classroom. Characteristics of high school health education teachers that were significantly related to attitudes, perceptions and instructional practices included the age, gender and race/ethnicity of the instructor. The findings of this study are consistent with and affirm findings from previous studies that have emphasized the significance of teacher preparation and training relative to teachers' perceptions, attitudes, perceived benefits and barriers, and efficacy and outcome expectations, which ultimately influence student outcomes. Findings from this study also indicate the need to further investigate certain teacher characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, age, experience level, and gender to determine the extent that those variables may influence curricular content and instruction.

Book excerpt: This special report is designed to clear up misconceptions about the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Chapter One provides the facts: how many children have AIDS, how AIDS spreads and how it doesn't spread, and who gets AIDS. While new developments occur constantly in AIDS research, experts are convinced of the central fact presented in Chapter One: AIDS is not spread by casual contact. Chapter Two describes how the AIDS crisis has affected schools thus far. It details how the U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends schools handle students and employees with AIDS, and summarizes a variety of state and local responses to the disease. Chapter Three examines, in depth, how two local school districts dealt with children with AIDS, and shows how their radically different approaches produced radically different results in their communities. Chapter Four provides up-to-date information on AIDS litigation and includes predictions from attorneys about what school officials can expect next. Chapter Five explains why it is crucial to have an AIDS policy before a student or employee becomes infected with AIDS and offers step-by-step recommendations for drawing up a policy that considers school district needs. Chapter Six indicates why schools should educate their students and employees about AIDS whether or not they have an AIDS case on campus. It tells what the experts think: that schools have the power to stop the spreading of AIDS through the right kind of education. Chapter Seven reveals the unique problems colleges and universities face in dealing with AIDS. It examines what college officials and students have done to set up policies and educate their communities about AIDS. And it details the recommendations of the American College Health Association. Recommendations to help schools deal with AIDS are scattered throughout the book, and the report ends with a section of recommended actions every school administrator can take to better control the kind of impact AIDS has on his/her school. Twelve appendices provide numerous guidelines, statements, directories and other resources. (RH)

This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of HIV/AIDS on education in sub-Saharan African countries. It looks at the situation at both macro and micro levels and emphasizes the need to react quickly and to institutionalize the response of education systems to the negative consequences of the pandemic. Drawing on studies of a few countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the first part of the book discusses the practicability of implementing a range of indicators for monitoring the impact of HIV/AIDS, specifically on the demand for supply, management, and quality of education at all levels. It underlines the difficulties of assessing and monitoring the impact on demand, supply, and quality in many of the worst affected countries in Africa. The second part focuses on the essential role that the education system has to play in preventing the expansion and mitigating the impact of the epidemic. A range of responses is developed, drawing on the experience of various national and international organizations. This part also presents an overview of the education system in several countries that have attempted programs to impart life skills to children and young people. It considers the problems of evaluating such programs in light of cost effectiveness. (Author/WFA).
