Abstract

Abstract: Objective To analyze the effect of “environment and health” general education course on improving students' ecological environment and health literacy and to provide empirical support for the future development of environmental and health education for university students. Methods A questionnaire was made based on the “core test questions for citizens' environmental and health literacy assessment” in the “technical guide for citizens' environmental and health literacy assessment (Trial)” issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China. Before and after the “environment and health” course, 992 undergraduates who took the course in 2018-2020 were surveyed on the level of ecological environment and health literacy, and the overall and classified literacy of students' environment and health were compared. T test and χ ² statistical analysis were performed on the data. Results The overall rate of students' ecological environment and health literacy and the rate of students' basic concepts, basic knowledge and basic skills classification literacy increased from 12.5% (124 / 992), 39.5% (392 / 992), 1.6% (16 / 992) and 52.4% (520 / 992) before the course to 23.8% (236 / 992), 46.8% (464 / 992), 2.8% (28 / 992) and 56.9% (564 / 992) after the course, all P<0.05. Conclusions The general education course of “environment and health” is helpful to improve students' ecological environment and health literacy. In the future, we can optimize the curriculum from the aspects of curriculum design, teaching methods, teaching contents and teaching evaluation.
