- W2558914253 abstract "In this thesis I examine policies, systems and approaches in the Ministries of Educationand Health in Trinidad and Tobago, in the eduation of adolescents for health andwellness. I utilise an interpretive qualitative approach to examine how students age 10 -15 years are educated on health and wellness in the secondary school system. I begin bylooking at the historical influences on the development of education in post emancipationand post-colonial Trinidad and Tobago. However, the context of my research is healthand the complex social determinants of health in particular, education and the educationsystem provided for adolescents.I analyse data obtained from education and health policies and other documents producedduring the early 1990s to 2000s, and from key informants - educators and healthprofessionals with responsibility for educating adolescents, as well as reflect on my ownprofessional experience as a health educator. My framework for analysis focuses onFoucault's (1969,1972) concept of genealogy and the history of the present; Fairclough's(1995) Critical Discourse Analysis; and social constructivist theories of knowledge toexplore how dominant discourses become social practice. However, I also engage in aneclectic approach to explore and explain the complexity of meanings created in relationto adolescents and their health.Findings suggest that the dominant discourse of adolescence is that of a periodcharacterised by deviance and sexual and psychosocial problems. Additionally, thateducation and health professionals engage in practice based on their individual lifeexperiences that reflect the historical development of education in Trinidad and Tobago.This is demonstrated by their silence on aspects of denominational control over schoolsthat encourage educational inequality according to social class and also the stratificationof subjects taught in different secondary schools.My recommendations include a review of past research studies to assist in shaping newresearch to look at present practice in both the Ministries of Education and Health ineducating adolescents in health and wellness. I argue that new research is required inTrinidad and Tobago that begins with the premise that adolescence is a normal stage inthe life cycle. I also recommend new approaches between the Ministries of Education andHealth that ensure structures and systems supported by a legal framework providing anenvironment supportive of adolescent health and wellness." @default.
