Zusammenfassung

Schulen gelten als entscheidende Lebenswelten für die Förderung von Health Literacy, allerdings erfolgt diese Festlegung ohne ausreichende Reflexion über ihre ethischen Grundlagen. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht von der Prämisse aus, dass Ethik grundlegend für alle Bildungsaspekte ist und folgt in der Entfaltung der Argumentation einem Eine-Welt-Ansatz, der Verallgemeinerungen für sowohl den sogenannten Globalen Norden wie den Globalen Süden anstrebt. Die Ausarbeitung untersucht zunächst, warum Health Literacy in Schulen gefördert werden sollte, und spricht sich dafür aus, dass die Zielsetzung einer Förderung die mit sozialer Gerechtigkeit einhergehenden Werte miteinbezieht und nicht bei individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Kosten-Nutzen-Analysen innehält. Die Argumentation richtet den Gegenstand Health Literacy anschließend nicht nur an praktischen Fertigkeiten sondern insbesondere an metakognitiven Fähigkeiten (kritisches Denken, Selbstaufmerksamkeit und Citizenship) aus. Schließlich werden Zugänge zur schulischen Förderung von Health Literacy mit einer ethischen Artikulation vorgestellt, welche die Aufmerksamkeit auf für gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten verantwortliche Machtverhältnisse richtet und nicht von der Annahme ausgeht, dass vorliegende Machtverhältnisse einen vorgegebenen Bezugsrahmen für Maßnahmen und Aktivitäten rund um Health Literacy darstellen.

Der vorliegende Beitrag basiert auf einem Aufsatz der Autorinnen, der 2018 in der Fachzeitschrift BMC Public Health veröffentlicht worden ist (Paakkari und George 2018). Bei der aktuellen Fassung auf Deutsch handelt es sich um eine übersetzte Version des ursprünglichen Beitrags. Übersetzung aus dem Englischen: Paulo Pinheiro und Marlene Pieper.
