A saúde dos indivíduos está relacionada com o acesso à formação e a sua capacidade de aprender e aplicar os conhecimentos adquiridos, sendo frequente associar atualmente comportamentos saudáveis aos resultados educativos, significando esta conexão que a melhoria na eficiência de um destes campos pode beneficiar o outro. A reflexão subjacente a estas conceções permite perspetivar uma relação profícua entre a tecnologia educativa e a saúde escolar, estabelecendo uma conjugação das potencialidades inerentes às áreas da educação e da saúde, com o objetivo de melhorar a qualidade de vida, a responsabilização e a participação dinâmica dos indivíduos, famílias, grupos, instituições e comunidades nos processos relativos à saúde, com base no fomento de estilos de vida saudáveis e da redução dos comportamentos de risco. Fazendo uso dos dados obtidos através de entrevistas efetuadas às equipas de saúde escolar e aos docentes coordenadores da educação para a saúde, bem como dos questionários aplicados a alunos do 9.º ano de escolaridade, procedeu-se à identificação das conceções sobre a tecnologia educativa e sua aplicabilidade na educação para a saúde, à caracterização da utilização da tecnologia educativa na saúde escolar e à descrição dos resultados da aplicação da tecnologia educativa neste âmbito de intervenção.
Abstract
Individuals health is related with their access to education and to their ability to learn and apply the acquired knowledge, in this line, currently, healthy behaviours are often associated with educational outcomes, which means that improving the efficiency of one of these areas may benefit the other. The thinking behind such conceptions allows for envisaging a fruitful relationship between educational technology and school health, establishing a conjugation of the inherent potential of the areas of education and health, with the objective of improving quality of life, accountability and dynamic participation of individuals, families, groups, institutions and communities in health related processes, based on promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing risk behaviours. Making use of data obtained from interviews carried out to school health teams and teachers coordinating education for health, as well as from questionnaires applied to 9.th grade students, we proceeded to the identification of conceptions about educational technology and its applicability on education for health, the characterization of the use of educational technology in school health and the description of the results of applying educational technology in this area of intervention.
