Education and Health: Research Findings and Methodological Obstacles

Friday, 20 July 2018: 15:30-17:20
Location: 714B (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC15 Sociology of Health (host committee)

Language: English

This session broadly discusses specific as well as methodological aspects of teacher and pupil health. Teachers and pupils daily interact in a quite complex system – the classroom. Teachers need to give emotional and instructional support, need to organize the classroom and, with physically handicapped children, they might need to give active support as e.g. lifting. Pupils need to fulfill their tasks and need to be self-organized. Altogether, this results in a demanding workplace that affects not just pupils’ achievements and teachers’ job performance and job satisfaction, but also their long-term physical, mental and social health. However, the complexity of classroom settings, the variety of school types and systems within and across countries, as well as personal factors of teachers and pupils challenge the research in this field.

Note that to round up the focus of this session, more general studies on education and health are also featured.
