In the doctoral dissertation the phenomenon of healthy lifestyle is conceptualized as a social, educational value and the objective of education that poses new challenges in the modern society. On the basis of quantitative social research paradigm, educational diagnostics allows the measuring of achieving educational objectives in reality. In the dissertation research educational diagnostics helps to assess students' health behavior (as a result of education) and its dependence on the educational, social and environmental factors, and to investigate its relationship with subjective evaluation of own body. An application of mathematical statistical methods allows revealing the prevalence of various components of health behavior in the students’ population and its educational factors. In the analysis and presentation of research results gender differences are highlighted. Empirical study shows considerable risky health behavior prevalence among students. The principal students’ lifestyle issues - irrational nutrition, psychoactive substance use, stress, lack of physical activity. These and other indicators of students health behavior, and the discovered link with the previous educational experience lead to assumptions about the lack of formal educational system effectiveness in developing healthy lifestyle habits, and state that objectives declared in the documents regulating education have not been successfully implemented. Based on literature analysis and empirical study, recommendations for improving the education of healthy lifestyle habits in formal educational system are proposed. |
