Abstract | Drug education has had a continually evolving thrust and curriculum. This speech takes a critical look at the traditional modes of drug education programs and the approaches used to effect the intended cognitive and affective changes in students. The author divides the present teaching modes into two broad categories: converting and supporting. The converting mode includes directing, preaching, convincing, and scaring. The supporting mode includes: (1) the "progressive" style (where the school provides facts, and the student makes his own decisions); (2) counseling; and (3) peer counseling. All of these modes generally employ a factual approach. The author contends that none of these modes has been very successful. He feels that drug educators must shift the focus away from drugs and facts about drugs and concentrate on affecting attitudes, values, and behaviors. He concludes with some suggestions for drug educators. (Author/HMV) |
