Chinese Physical Education Teachers' Functional Health Literacy Model

Yunan Li's research on figshare, last updated April 10, 2026, presents a qualitative model for assessing functional health literacy among Chinese physical education teachers. The model was developed using grounded theory analysis of semi-structured interviews with 16 PE teachers from 11 provinces in mainland China. The 15 KB DOCX file contains the theoretical framework and results of this study.

Use Cases

• Developing assessment tools for teacher health literacy based on the four core dimensions described in the model
• Informing curriculum design for dual-role physical education and health instructors based on the identified knowledge categories
• Analyzing qualitative interview data on health education practices using the grounded theory approach described
• Benchmarking teacher competencies in health communication and value recognition as outlined in the model's results

Strengths

• Model is based on primary qualitative data from 16 teachers across 11 Chinese provinces
• Clear theoretical framework with four defined dimensions and 11 sub-categories of functional health literacy
• Data was analyzed using established qualitative software (NVIVO 20.0) and a grounded theory approach

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The 15.0 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely containing the model description rather than extensive raw data
