Needs Assessment of In-service Education on Teaching for School Health Teachers

Abstract

This study examined the needs assessment of in-service education on teaching for school health teachers.The subjects of this study were 504 school health teachers, who were working in G-city and J-do. The data was collected from questionnaires of school health teacher's teaching from Nov. 9 to 23 2013. The data collected was analyzed by frequency analysis and a x 2 -test.The conclusions were as follows. The first priority of the school health teacher's work is 'management of health problems' and the second is 'health education'. A difference was observed between the school levels (p< 0.01). The teaching methods mainly used on health care instruction were lecturing, discussion and practical training. The teaching materials of health care instruction mainly used were ppt, internet video, and textbooks. Most of health care teachers agreed to creativity education but they used creativity education less in practice. Most school health teachers want to in-service education on teaching and the contents of the course are creativity education or storytelling for new teaching.
