Background of the Study
Teachers are crucial stakeholders in health education as they help impart knowledge on various health topics, including personal hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention. Their ability to effectively implement health education influences students' behaviors and overall well-being (WHO, 2024). In many schools, teachers are responsible for delivering health education through the curriculum and extracurricular activities.
In Plateau State, health education is often underemphasized due to inadequate teacher training, resource limitations, and an overcrowded curriculum (Ibrahim & Yusuf, 2024). This study investigates the role of teachers in implementing health education in Plateau State and explores the challenges they face in promoting health-related knowledge and practices among students.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the inclusion of health education in school curricula, its implementation remains inconsistent in Plateau State. Many teachers lack specialized training in health education, leading to ineffective delivery of health-related content (Adepoju & Salami, 2024). Additionally, limited instructional materials and time constraints hinder the proper integration of health education into the school system.
This study examines the role of teachers in implementing health education, the effectiveness of their teaching methods, and the challenges they encounter.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess teachers' roles in delivering health education in Plateau State.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of teachers’ instructional methods in health education.
- To identify challenges affecting the implementation of health education in schools.
Research Questions
- What roles do teachers play in implementing health education in Plateau State?
- How effective are teachers' instructional methods in promoting health education?
- What challenges hinder the successful implementation of health education in schools?
Research Hypotheses
- Teachers’ involvement in health education has no significant impact on students' health knowledge.
- There is no significant relationship between teachers’ instructional methods and students’ health awareness.
- Implementation challenges do not significantly affect the effectiveness of health education programs.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on secondary schools in Plateau State, evaluating teachers' roles in health education. Limitations include teacher training disparities, differences in school curricula, and variations in available teaching resources.
