Excerpt from Health-promoting schools: a resource for developing indicators, (2006) Schools for Health Europe, Amsterdam
Jeanette Magne Jensen Method for developing and assessing indicators for students’ participation: an example from Denmark pp 181-187
In Denmark the health-promoting schools approach has been focusing on participation and ownership as crucial elements in strengthening children’s engagement in health issues and the development of children’s competence to take action for the promotion of their own health and that of others. This study explored how to define and support elements of participation in school health promotion, since participation has been proven to be a difficult concept (a) to integrate in teaching and education at the school level and (b) to evaluate because sustainable and controllable indicators are lacking. The indicators presented are relevant at the classroom level. The aims of the project are: • to develop indicators of students’ participation that are congruent with the health-promoting schools approach; and • to describe appropriate methods for assessing these indicators. The project is working with the following research questions. • In which ways can students’ participation be put into operation in the form of indicators? • How do students understand participation? • How does students’ participation affect the classroom and school? • How is participation correlated with students’ learning? The indicators of participation are being developed and discussed based on a development project in two regions of Denmark embracing seven different
primary schools involving 14 different classes in grades 4–8. This project is aiming at developing new methods of teaching to involve students and create students’ ownership of school health promotion. The aim of the development project is to
encourage teachers to work with students’ participation on the topics of food and culture and physical activity in various school-based projects. One of the challenges is to link students’ participation to the specific content of the two
topics and thereby to strengthen students’ learning by participation.
