摘要

Background

Under the "Healthy China 2030" strategy, health literacy is a pivotal indicator of national development and a benchmark for evaluating school health education. In the digital age, the vast amount of health information necessitates critical health literacy, which requires individuals to analyze, evaluate, and effectively apply this information. As primary facilitators of school health education, physical education teachers play a crucial role in shaping students' health behaviors and advancing curriculum reform. This study investigates the model of critical health literacy among physical education teachers, aiming to develop an assessment tool that supports their professional growth and contributes to a high-quality school health education system.

Methods

Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was employed to select 40 physical education teachers and researchers from diverse regions across the country. The data were analyzed using NVivo 14.0 software in conjunction with the grounded theory technique.

Results

The Critical Health Literacy Model for Physical Education Teachers comprises three dimensions: mastering health information, implementing health decisions, and fostering health awareness. Mastering health information encompasses two dimensions: the acquisition of health information and the evaluation of health information. Implementing health decisions involves three aspects: recognizing health needs, developing health programs, and optimizing teaching strategies. Fostering health awareness includes modeling healthy behaviors, guiding health practices, and promoting health cooperation.

Conclusion

This study's model provides a theoretical foundation for improving physical education teachers' decision-making skills in complex health contexts. By incorporating this model into teachers' continuing education, the optimization of the school health education system is facilitated, ultimately supporting the national strategy to enhance public health literacy.
