Research on the Practical Teaching Mode of the Health Education and Health Promotion Course Driven by Competitions

To meet the requirements of cultivating innovative and applied talents in Chinese higher education, this study constructs a "competition-driven and competition-teaching integrated" practical teaching model for the Health Education and Health Promotion course based on the "competency-based" education concept. By integrating discipline competition resources with the curriculum system, the research explores the model's connotation, objectives, implementation strategies, and guarantee mechanisms. The model has achieved significant effects from empirical data from 2019 to 2024 of Health Service and Management majors in Inner Mongolia Medical University shows that students' competition participation rate increased from 12% to 55% (average annual growth of 8%), with 5 national second prizes and 6 provincial first prizes won, and 80% of teachers transformed competition cases into teaching models and obtained 3 provincial teaching reform projects. These results verify the model's value in enhancing students' practical innovation abilities, optimizing teaching quality, and promoting school-enterprise cooperation. Combining the trends of educational reform and health discipline development in the past decade, this study proposes a teaching reform path with both theoretical depth and practical value, providing a reference paradigm for similar applied courses.
