“…Besides general didactic principles of training and education the main principles of students' physical education refer to health-improving and professional-applied trends (DeVoe et al, 1998). The discipline of «Physical education» in higher education institutions is being obligatory irrespectively of educational institution dedication, however its main tasks are promotion of health and physical improvement of students, as well as their psychophysiological preparation to performance of future professional activity.…”

Abstract. The present study shows that sport loads for student environment determine not only the possibility of successful educational or scientific activities, but also successful social activity. The paper’s authors consider sports’ social meaning in higher education institutions as a function of implementing applied activities with correlation with successful professional medium. The relevance of the paper is in that doing sports in education institution is perceived not only as a part of the pedagogical load of topics from the general professional cycle, but also as a means of students’ socialization. The subject under study is students’ predisposition to implement the postulates of independent exercising. As a novelty, the issues of the development of motivation for students to do sports were studied. The main thesis of the research is to form a general idea on possibilities and motivation, as well as to carry out a complex evaluation of students’ readiness to do sports independently, without professors’ participation. A promising input is the testing of organizational-pedagogic conditions, and the integration of physical education and independent sports.

Health and wholeness undergraduate course in Uganda: Potential public health impact and transferability

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over 26,000 students at a major Christian University in Uganda have completed a single semester course on Health and Wholeness. While common in other higher education contexts, general education courses and health education courses in particular are uncommon in the Africa higher education context. This course therefore is a bold initiative by Uganda Christian University. The course is designed to help students in a wide range of programs understand how to promote and improve health in their own lives as well as their homes, communities, workplace, and society. Students learn about the definitions of health and wholeness. They discuss hygiene; nutrition; sanitation, water, and land use; common occurring health problems, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections; sexuality; first aid and early intervention; family health, dependence, fitness and life skills, and leadership for a healthy society. Through discussion, students are expected to identify factors that hinder or enhance health. Challenges and lessons learned in the course include confronting cultural practices, improving critical analysis skills, addressing information at the right technical level, and improving behavior change. Because graduates come from, and move on to, virtually all facets of economic, civil, and social life in Uganda and beyond, this course could carry tremendous potential to improve the public's health.
