EVALUATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE HEALTHY-SCHOOL-PROJECT IN YUGOSLAVIA

In preparation for the implementation of the Healthy School project in Yugoslavia, great attention was paid to evaluation procedures and ins truments. One of them was the 'Draw and Write Investigation Technique' suitable for monitoring changes in pupils' knowledge during first fou r grades of elementary school. The pupils (n = 473) in first four grad es were tested in three cities: Belgrade, Novi Sad and Zajecar. The re sults were compared and tested by age, sex, residence, and type of hea lth-promoting measures mentioned The results proved that the technique is sensitive enough to reveal expected differences in knowledge acqui red in school. The technique was accepted by teachers, health workers, and pupils as very attractive and interesting. With some adaptations and modifications 'Draw and Write Investigation Technique' will be use d as a knowledge-change evaluation instrument in the Healthy School pr oject in Yugoslavia
