| Description | Active health care is a part of balanced life style, which is a prerequisite of well-being, personal and social self-fulfillment. Following previous studies devoted to the description of pattern of thinking on environmental issues in teachers and student teachers, we now present results of an investigation focusing on students perception of health in the context of environmental issues. Our main assumption is that interest in the environment as the determining agent of optimal health is expressed in personal involvement of every individual. With regard to the significant role of the teacher in school ecological/environmental education we examined attitudes of respondents towards protection of the environment, the form of participation in its protection, ways of decision making and conduct corresponding with active health care in life situation. The results of the investigation will contribute to the development of the system of teacher training. |
