Abstract:Learning and teaching are main concepts within health contexts, but curriculum theory is generally overlooked in the design of health education. In this paper, we describe the curriculum development component of a health research study designed to develop and present educational interventions for adolescent girls. Through the use of these interventions, we encouraged the girls to recognize and address potential health compromises in their dating relationships. By blending our disciplinary approaches of nursing and education to address the challenges of this research, we developed a curriculum that would effectively meet the needs of the participants. To do this, we assessed humanistic, social reconstructionist, technological, and academic curriculum approaches to determine that our approach is one of social reconstruction. We then considered teacher-centered, learner-centered, and problem-centered curriculum designs, choosing both learner and problem centered, and analyzed six dimensions of these designs. We describe these approaches, designs, and dimensions of curriculum considering pedagogical issues, criteria for evaluation, and appropriateness to educational health intervention programs.
