Samenvatting van de aanvraag

The project will focus on the design and testing of an innovative curriculum for transfer-oriented learning in basic education (first stage of secondary education). Transfer can be said to take place when students apply independently and flexibly what they have learned in a context different to that in which they learned it. The curriculum will build partly on knowledge and methods already extant within health education; the innovative element will lie in the application of recent insights in educational psychology with regard to learning processes aimed at transfer. It will concern a number of the so called BRAVVO-themes that have also been incorporated within the core objectives for the subjects Care and Biology. Regarding smoking and safe sex, an instructional design aimed at transfer will be developed with the help of a design-oriented research strategy. Subsequent, the effects of the curriculum developed will be tested: the extent to which the new curriculum achieves its objectives for smoking and safe sex (near transfer), and whether there is a learning effect in two other domains not addressed in the curriculum: alcohol use and healthy eating (far transfer). The end products will include (1) a transfer-oriented curriculum that has been tested in practice (student magazine, video, and teacher manual), (2) a teacher-training module, and (3) a thesis based on articles on the development and effectiveness of a transfer-oriented health education curriculum.
