[Interactive learning and teaching as a remedy for the deadlock of health education].
The goal of the research is the attempt to answer the question: how to decrease the disparity between the knowledge on health acquired by people and its usage? It has been assumed that the principle condition is to take advantage of the pedagogic theory to the greater extent and to invoke the non-directive (antiauthoritarian) concepts of education. That means that in the analyzed case the principle task of the educator will be to support independent development of the student in self-realisation of the needs of his body and health. Profound emotional involvement of the student is necessary This can be achieved through activities which will led to using and applying the content of the medium for own needs. It requires the application of learning and teaching methods which differ from traditional ones. Those methods can encourage the student's creativity and ability of active involvement in maintaining or increasing the health potential, so they will allow to realize the catch-phrases of health promotion: "My health is in my hands" or "I am in charge of my health". Active teaching requires a skilful combination of the dialogue, observation and action. The pursuit of own connections with raised issues is to encourage generating, not only simple gathering of knowledge. The adequate to those assumptions didactic procedure--Kolb's cycle--has been presented. In the conclusion, referring to the notion of live skills it has been indicated that the interactive method of learning and teaching which can process the knowledge on health for the needs of the individual allows to meet various health requirements more effectively and does not put limits to our choices (individual willingness of being distinguished because of lifestyle or a pursuit of own development path).
