One of the major objectives of the European FP6 BIOHEAD-CITIZEN project on "Biology Health and Environmental education for better citizenship" (STREP, CIT2-CT2004-506015, Carvalho et al. 2004) is to analyse the potential differences between countries by associating teachers' and future teachers' conceptions to controlled parameters, such as level of training, religion, political view and the broad socio-cultural context. A questionnaire was constructed with the participation of all Biohead-Citizen project research teams. The original English version was translated into each national language and after validation of the translation it was pre-tested before implementation in each country. A total of 6379 teachers and future teachers responded to the questionnaire. They were from 16 countries (of the 19 composing the Biohead-Citizen consortium) from Europe (West to East: Portugal, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Cyprus), from Africa (West to East: Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia) and from the Middle East (Lebanon). Statistical multivariate methods to investigate complex data featuring the conceptions of many individuals were used. Results showed that the countries, rather than religion, have great effect on teachers and future teachers' views conceptions on biomedical model or the health promotion approach. Furthermore primary school teachers (P), both in-service (InP) and pre-service (PreP), are more associated to the health promotion view than all the secondary school teachers: in-service Biology (InB), in-service Language (inL), pre-service Language (PreL) and pre-service Biology (PreB) teachers. Pre-teachers consider that health education should be taught at school, not only by the families, and that teachers should be obliged to teach even if they do not feel confident in doing it whereas teachers with teaching experience are more defensive in this respect, assuming exactly the opposite. In addition, the co-inertia analysis allows highlighting the correlations ...

Le travail que nous présentons ici s'insère dans le cadre du projet européen « Biohead-Citizen : Biology, health and Environmental education for better Citizenship » (FP6, CT2-CT2004-506015, Carvalho et al., 2004). Nous présentons ici lest résultats, issus de quinze pays, sur deux thèmes – l'éducation à la santé et l'éducation à la sexualité – qui étroitement liés aux conceptions individuelles des enseignants. Notre objectif est d'identifier en quoi ces conceptions individuelles varient, d'un pays à un autre, mais aussi au sein de chaque pays. À quoi sont-elles liées : leurs croyances religieuses, leur sexe, leur options philosophiques ou politiques ? Sont-elles également liées à leurs connaissances dans les domaines de la santé et de la sexualité ? Ou encore aux représentations sociales dominantes dans chaque pays ? ; CIEC – Research Centre on Child Studies, UM (FCT R&D ...

School is an important setting for health education and health promotion, and it has been recognised that teachers' conceptions play a crucial role for the effective implementation of school health education. With the European FP6 Biohead-Citizen project on "Biology Health and Environmental education for better citizenship" we analysed the potential differences between several countries by associating teachers' and future teachers' conceptions to controlled parameters, such as level of training, religion, political view. A questionnaire was constructed during the first year of the project, and following a pilot test, the final questionnaire was applied to 6379 teachers and future teachers. We then used well-suited statistical multivariate methods to investigate complex data featuring the conceptions of many individuals, according to many topics. We show that a prominent source of variation in teachers' conceptions is related to countries, and further suggest that there are differences in two kinds of conceptions: a) individual health responsibilities and abilities; b) social policies. Religion, academic level or training had also an impact in teachers' conceptions of health education. Another important feature is the gap between what teachers and future teachers say about their own health and what they say it should be taught in school. Results are then discussed. ; LIBEC/CIFPEC - unidade de investigação 16/644 da FCT. ; European project FP6 Biohead-Citizen ...

The Co-creation Welfare training course has been developed within the European ERASMUS+ Project called "Co-creating Welfare". The motivation for the development of the training course is a broadly political acknowledged need for reorganisation within the welfare sector in order to obtain a more sustainable and cost-effectiveness sector. Organisations that offer welfare services to citizens are often struggling with budget cut-downs, mainly due to consequences of the hardly ended worldwide financial crisis, which has pushed forward the need for looking at new ways of organizing the European welfare offers. As a response to the need for re-organisation, co-creation has started to become an acknowledged concept to create a more sustainable set-up and organisation of the welfare sector. Co-creation is a new way of thinking about public services which has the potential to deliver a major shift in the way we provide health, education, policing and other services, in ways that make them much more effective, more efficient, and so more sustainable, but professional practitioners need skills and knowledge to work with co-creation. The CCW training course material will provide these skills and knowledge. ; Portuguese national funds through the FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology) within the framework of the CIEC (Research Center for Child Studies of the University of Minho) project under the reference UID/CED/00317/2019 ; Action Type KA202 - Strategic Partnerships for vocational education and training (EC project number: ...
