Hygiene and food education in the children, impact on the health of the adults and the elderly. The role of the teacher, alongside that of the parents, is fundamental to give a virtuous imprinting with respect to the behavioral and dietary choices of the child at an age that indelibly shapes future behaviors. For this reason, knowledge of the epidemiological profiles of disease of the child population and of the most widespread lifestyle habits is important in a degree course in primary education, in order to make future teachers acquire the basic knowledge of the risks of disease, of the methods of prevention and education for the promotion of the health of the child. The course will be divided into three modules: - study of the epidemiological profiles of the most important infectious diseases in childhood and chronic-degenerative diseases in adults whose risk factors already act in the first years of life; - study of the methods of prevention of the main infectious diseases, with particular reference to those of the first years of life; - food composition, child's diet and health; - physical activity and health.

COURSE CONTENT It’s an educational path about environmental education, that will lead to a new way to see reality and to an idea of personal wellness. “Tale educazione non coincide solo con l’insegnamento delle scienze naturali, né si limita a fornire nozioni riguardo all’ecologia, ma , pur comprendendo tutto ciò, deve proporsi come un’alfabetizzazione nuova, l’alfabetizzazione ecologica che tocca più o meno da vicino i contenuti e le metodologie di molte discipline.” ( Vanna Iori in “ Pedagogia al limite” pag.221 – La Nuova Italia -) AIM OF THE COURSE The course offers a pedagogical education to develop innovative approaches about environment, valuing local resources and examining different aspects: perceptive- sensorial cognitive emotional aesthetic moral COURSE PROGRAMME The course work starts from the students’ previous knowledge, then it will develop, according to a multi-dimensional approach, to explore the following contents: cultural root of problems related to environment education; environment education problems; evolution of educational research in the field of environment education; open perspective of research; basis for an ecological education.
