Formation of scientific ideas about health in schoolchildren. The role of informatization and ecologization of education

The article raises the problem of the correspondence of the ideas about health formed in schoolchildren with the data of modern science. The analysis of educational literature shows that it is dominated by concrete and practical recipes for a healthy lifestyle («more and more about less») with a lack of generalizing, scientific knowledge about the regularities of functioning of complex, selfgoverning systems. The lack of such knowledge not only makes graduates incompetent in health issues, but also hinders the formation of a modern picture of the world, understanding of the causes of environmental problems, and readiness to solve the problems of sustainable development of the country. It is proved that it is possible to correct the situation by including knowledge about nonlinear complex systems in school education by updating the content of two key vectors of modern educationits ecologization and informatization.
