The Importance of Developing Health Literacy in Undergraduate Teacher Training in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The present paper focuses on the importance of developing health literacy among future teachers, i.e. students of teacher training courses, who can in the framework of ISCED 0 to ISCED 3 induce a positive approach to their health and lifestyle and at the same time increase the level of health literacy among the upcoming generation in the Czech Republic. The requirement to develop health literacy among the young generation is based on the fact that 60% of the current adult population in the Czech Republic shows low to problematic level of health literacy. National health promotion programmes based on the concept of the World Health Organization aim to improve the situation and, inter alia, increase the level of health literacy among Czech citizens. One of the strategic areas as defined by these documents is the area of education. This paper analyses the study plans of four selected faculties of education in the CR where future teachers are trained by means of the Educational propaedeutic module and Teacher qualification module with an emphasis on disciplines that develop the level of health literacy among future teachers. These disciplines are present in the teacher training plans of all four faculties, but are based on different concepts (particularly with regard to the number and nature of the disciplines and their inclusion among mandatory courses, core elective courses and optional courses). Given the current level of health literacy among the population and the potential of developing health literacy in students during school attendance, it would be desirable to strengthen the portfolio of disciplines in relation to health literacy.
