Abstract

This paper reflects on interdisciplinary descriptive research -although by no means lacking in valuable judgement- which tries to analyse education in values and attitudes regarding health education, carried out through educational software geared towards pupils in obligatory education and edited by Spanish commercial companies in the Spanish language; it takes into account both the explicit references to this transversal subject and those from hidden curriculum.
