 B)False  True

Question 2

Explain the transition from information-based to skills-based knowledge in health education.

Accepted Answer

The transition from information-based to skills-based knowledge in health education reflects a shift in focus from simply providing facts and data to equipping individuals with the practical skills and abilities needed to make informed decisions and take positive actions regarding their health.

In the past, health education often centered around the dissemination of information about various health topics such as nutrition, exercise, and disease prevention. While this knowledge is important, it was often not enough to inspire lasting behavior change.

Skills-based health education, on the other hand, emphasizes the development of specific skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, communication, and goal-setting. These skills empower individuals to apply the information they have learned in real-life situations, enabling them to make healthier choices and manage their own health effectively.

This transition recognizes that simply knowing about healthy behaviors is not sufficient to ensure that individuals will adopt and maintain these behaviors. By focusing on skills development, health education programs can better support individuals in making meaningful and sustainable changes to their health habits. This approach also aligns with the broader shift in education towards a more holistic and practical approach to learning, emphasizing the application of knowledge in real-world contexts.

Question 3

The "hook" in active learning plans refers to the initial activity or introduction that captures students' attention and engages them in the lesson. It is important because it sets the tone for the lesson, creates interest and motivation, and helps students make connections to their prior knowledge. The hook can be a thought-provoking question, a relevant story, a visual aid, or any other strategy that piques students' curiosity and draws them into the learning experience. By starting with a strong hook, educators can increase student engagement and create a positive learning environment.
