Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate perception and satisfaction with Health Education for elementary school students in grade 5 and 6, using data on national health education gathered since March, 2009.
Methods: Data were collected by way of a questionnaire, from 475 elementary school students in grades 5 and 6 from February 1～15, 2010. Statistical analysis of collected data was performed using frequency, t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis, using SPSS 18.0 software.
Result: Levels of health promoting behavior, interest, importance, and satisfaction were relatively high, respectively, and those of students in grade 5 were higher than those of students in grade 6. Levels of Satisfaction with frequency and educational environment were relatively low. Among the factors found to influence satisfaction with health education, interest in health education was found to be the most influential(grade 5: β=.279, p<.001, grade 6: β=.306, p<.001).
Conclusion: Students expressed a high level of satisfaction with regular health education. Expansion of health education frequency and health education-only-classrooms is needed. To improve the effect of health education, constant acquisition of knowledge of subjects’ perception and satisfaction is needed. In addition, contents and teaching methods that showed low level of satisfaction should be reformed.
