Goal Of Health Education: The goal of health education of health education is to help persons live zestful and productive lives in an environment that is as free as possible of threatening or damaging conditions (though it may be full of challenges). As a discipline health education draws content from the physical, biological, medical, and behavioral sciences. Since it is concerned with mental and social, as well as physiological, well-being, health education is a broader field than physical education.
World War II brought a renewed focus on the role of the school in promoting good health. The traditional equating of health with physical fitness, and health education with physical education, was further perpetuated during this period. During the 1960's this concept was replaced by the identification of health education as a discipline separate from physical education. The School Health Education Study, initiated with private funds in 1961, had the most significant impact in establishing health education as a separate discipline.
About 70 colleges and universities offer programs to train health education teachers, and the profession is growing. Members of the profession feel strongly that health education should not be considered a part of physical education and that physical education should not be a branch of health education. Some high schools now give a half year to physical education and a half year to health instruction.
