Abstract

Microcomputers could potentially represent the most exciting technological innovation in school health education. Both the technical capabilities and current constraints of microcomputer-based health education programs were reviewed. Based on this review the relatively economical, convenient, and educationally dynamic features of microcomputers were related to potential health education applications. However, current shortages in appropriate health education software limit the widespread utilization of microcomputers in the health education classroom. When microcomputer-based health education programs become more extensively available, the teaching of health can be revolutionized. Customized health education involving microcomputer-generated visual and auditory simulations and the dramatization of students' responses were envisioned. Furthermore, microcomputer-based health education programs that could be electronically transmitted to the 80% of American homes that will have microcomputers in 1990 will facilitate the provision of life-long and pervasive health education.

摘要

微型计算机可能代表着学校健康教育中最令人兴奋的技术创新。基于微型计算机的健康教育项目的技术能力和当前限制都得到了审查。基于这一审查，微型计算机相对经济、便捷且具有教育活力的特点与潜在的健康教育应用相关联。然而，目前合适的健康教育软件短缺限制了微型计算机在健康教育课堂中的广泛应用。当基于微型计算机的健康教育项目变得更广泛可得时，健康教育教学可能会发生变革。设想了涉及微型计算机生成的视觉和听觉模拟以及学生反应戏剧化的定制健康教育。此外，基于微型计算机的健康教育项目能够以电子方式传输到1990年将拥有微型计算机的80%的美国家庭，这将有助于提供终身且广泛的健康教育。
