Abstract

Despite having good intentions, participatory pedagogy and research can still impose agendas of what constitutes appropriate classroom teaching and behavioral change action. This chapter draws together participatory classroom pedagogy and students' health behavior change. Through the classroom sanitation and hygiene session with the participation of students, not only the knowledge co-creation but also the changes in sanitation and hygiene behavior of the students, as expected, have been taken as the main result of this chapter. Educational, technological, and behavioral interventions need to be conducted for sustainable sanitation and hygiene behavior change, and adequate content related to sanitation and hygiene education in the mainstream curriculum and attention should be paid to participatory pedagogy.
