Experiential learning – developing prosocial students of the Departament of health education faculty of education, Masaryk University in Brno

Abstract

The paper describes the innovations that we have implemented in the Department of Health Education Faculty of Education, Masaryk University in Brno and are focused on the development of prosocial students. These include activities related to experiential learning courses on first aid, and currently with the prevention of the syndrome of old age. Innovative teaching leads not only to an increase in the health literacy of students, but also – in the framework of experiential learning – a deep personal experience. Furthermore, in the paper we deal with the possibile implementation of these activities into the school curricula of primary schools – especially (but not only) in the educational area of Humans and Society (Civics) and the crosscutting theme of Personal and Social Education.
