Introduction to Part VII: Students’ Reflections

Abstract

This section gives space for learners to express their impressions and present their experiences during their learning process in health promotion. This section comprises two chapters: Chap. 45, A Student Perspective on Learning and Doing Settings-Based Health Promotion in the Era of TikTok by Catherine Jenkins, from London South Bank University, London, UK; and Chap. 46, The Impact that Learning About Health Promotion Had on Me. Embracing Health Promotion: A Puerto Rican Metamorphosis by Elisa Ramos-Vázquez and colleagues. Chapter 45 reflects the present time as it was written during the COVID-19 pandemic and describes the use of digital devices to develop its teaching-learning process. The other chapter, 46, has in its title an intriguing word – “metamorphosis,” which means transformation, change, transition, and movement. This chapter brings many examples to illustrate the voices of the students. These two chapters are an inspiration to always include students not as passive subjects in the teaching-learning process in health promotion but as fundamental partners in the construction of meaningful and transformative learning.
