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.
本研究旨在确定以活动为中心的健康课程在向广州市学校系统的四、五、六年级学生提供健康信息方面的效果如何。评估采用仅进行后测的研究设计。随机选择了10所学校接受新的健康项目，与之相比，有10所学校作为对照组未接受该项目。结果表明，实验学生在后测中的认知知识平均得分显著高于对照学生。在对阅读能力的组间差异进行调整后，这些结果在每个年级都得到了维持。
