Needs analysis for the development of a healthy lifestyle module (MoGHS) matriculation co-curriculum course
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to examine the need to create a Healthy Lifestyle Module (MoGHS) to integrate into matriculation co-curriculum courses. This study employs qualitative methods by collecting data through semi-structured interviews with five senior lecturers with more than ten years of experience teaching co-curriculum courses. The report revealed an immediate necessity for the drafting of MoGHS without a specified module, the necessity of standardized reference material for the lecturers, and the need to enhance awareness and practice of a healthy lifestyle among the students. In addition, the results also suggested that the development of MoGHS must encompass four primary constructs, including teaching strategies, teaching, and learning activities, integrated assessment system and integration of soft skills. Hence, the significance of all four of these matters is crucial because it ensures that this module facilitates the efficiency of the PDP and thus enables students to understand and internalize a good way of life in a structured and constructive manner. The results of this study form the basis for a non-controlled, systematic module to support the implementation of a Healthy Lifestyle co-curriculum course in matriculation colleges.
