HEALTH EDUCATION
PROCESS.
Introduction
Education Process is a systematic, sequential, logical, scientifically
based, planned course of action consisting of two major
interdependent operations: teaching and learning.
This process forms a continuous cycle that also
involves two interdependent players: the
teacher and the learner.
The education process is similar across the
practice of many of the health professions.

assessment, planning, implementation, and
evaluation

and prioritization of the client’s learning
needs, readiness to learn, and learning
styles.
