| Sumario: | The study of diseases requires considering a diversity of temporal, spatial and cultural variables and the meanings attributed by individuals and reference groups. Collecting the “historical traces” in tuberculosis as a paradigmatic case allows us to recognise ourselves in a history of processes where the school was important as an institution that formed in health. Our analysis shows that the Argentinian educational system has always linked health and education with the rhetorical tint of the “civilising” quest. The traces that we have collected allow us to notice continuities and ruptures in the imposition of norms and habits, and to detect the recurrent absence of model-based reflective processes on individual and community health. The teaching of health represents a privileged opportunity for citizen education; it is therefore essential to strengthen the pedagogical-didactical link between health and classroom practices, which is today weakened. Teaching health as a social construct demands new axes of analysis; here we propose explanatory theoretical models, integration of knowledge, recognition of relevant voices, and awareness on decisions and actions. Seriously discussing the feasibility of these criteria for teacher education constitutes an unavoidable challenge in the uncertain and threatened context of the 21st century. |
