Abstract

The aim of this paper is to share the fundamentals underpinning the current training proposal for the “Health Education” subject, which is taught within the  Biological Sciences Teacher Training course (UNRC). In particular, some teaching designs based on a thoughtful, holistic and participatory approach and which define the latest innovations will be described. They point to: 1) the explicitation and denaturalization of dominant reductionist conceptions of health and their questioning from a perspective of law that integrates physical, psychological and environmental aspects, and 2) addressing contextualized theoretical and  educational developments on complex health issues that question the hegemonic school practices restricted to the transmission of biomedical information and the stimulation of changes in individual behavior. It is expected to strengthen a  transformative perspective that allows  students to project themselves as promoters of a comprehensive and participatory Health Education in different educational spaces.
