Evaluation of an activity-centered health curriculum: assessment of cognitive knowledge
Abstract:
This study was to determine how effective an activity-centered health curriculum was in providing health information to fourth, fifth and sixth-grade students in the Canton City school system. The assessment was facilitated by a posttest-only research design. Ten schools were randomly selected to receive a new health program, as compared to a control group of 10 schools which did not. Results indicated that the experimental students achieved significantly higher posttest cognitive knowledge mean scores than the control students. These findings were sustained for each grade level after adjusting for group differences in reading ability.
