| Health promotion in General Education course specifications – TQF 3 (Siam University, Thailand) |
Description:
This report reviews the course specifications (TQF 3) of ten General Education (GE) courses taught in academic years 2568–2569 for health promotion content as defined by HURS – physical health, mental wellness, nutrition, personal hygiene, disease prevention and public health advocacy – and for their link to SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being. All ten courses include health promotion content and are linked to SDG 3 (Table 1). The core curriculum has 20 General Education courses (GI 8), including 103-204 and 103-205, which belong to GE Group 2, Competencies for Living in the 21st Century. 10 of the 20 courses (50%) therefore integrate health promotion (Table 2).
Physical health and nutrition. 103-206 Diet, Health Care and Exercise (SDG 3) covers food safety and nutrition labels, physical fitness testing, body-weight, cardio and weight training, diet for weight control and the prevention of non-communicable diseases, dietary supplements and first aid. Following the previous course report (TQF 5), it now places more emphasis on health literacy, and students use AI to design their own diet and exercise plans.
Mental, emotional and social well-being. 103-212 Psychology and Life Development and 103-205 Psychology in Daily Life teach the meaning of mental health, the causes of mental health problems, common mental health problems, coping with mental conflict and stress management; 103-212 includes a stress self-assessment. 103-204 Human Relations and Personality Development covers self-knowledge, understanding others, personality development, positive thinking and teamwork, and 103-209 Art and Music Appreciation teaches the use of music and art to sustain the mind in daily life.
Safe and healthy communities. 103-203 Civic Literacy in Thai and Global Context teaches laws in daily life – consumer protection, traffic law, cyber law and personal data protection – which support road safety, consumer protection and online safety. 103-304 Community Explorer and Service Learning (SDGs 3, 4 and 8) studies the ageing society and community development through fieldwork in Phasi Charoen.
Module 3 – Entrepreneurship for Sustainability. The learning outcome of this compulsory module asks students to create and manage projects with a positive and sustainable impact on society, with a focus on SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being. 117-601 asks students to set personal and professional life goals with a growth mindset and to apply the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy to daily life and community needs; 117-602 sets innovation and startup projects aligned with SDGs 3, 8 and 11; and 117-603 applies business models and project management to social enterprises and sustainable projects.
Selected level: 25–50% of Courses – 10 of 20 points (10 of 20 GE courses = 50%). [50% is the upper limit of this level. One more course with health promotion content would give 11 of 20 = 55% and the level 51–75%.]

นับได้ 10 จาก 20 วิชา = 50% (ระดับ 25–50%, 10 คะแนน) – 50% เป็นค่าสูงสุดของระดับนี้ ถ้าเพิ่มได้อีก 1 วิชา (เช่น 117-501 หรือ 117-503 ที่ผูกกับ SDG 3 ในแบบสำรวจ) จะได้ 11/20 = 55% (ระดับ 51–75%, 15 คะแนน)
-
รายการ 20 วิชาของ GI 8 ต้องมี 103-204 และ 103-205 อยู่ด้วย – ไฟล์ GI 8 และไฟล์ SI 5.1 หลัก ฉบับที่ 2 ยังใช้ 22 วิชา ต้องปรับให้ตรงกัน
-
117-601, 117-603 และ 103-203 ไม่มีหัวข้อสุขภาพโดยตรงในแผนการสอน – ถ้าผู้ประเมินไม่นับ จะเหลือ 7/20 = 35% (ระดับยังเป็น 25–50%)
-
มคอ.3 ของ 117-601 ไม่ได้ระบุ SDG 3 (ต่างจาก 117-602 และ 117-603 ในโมดูลเดียวกัน) และ มคอ.3 ของ 103-209 ระบุ SDG 4 อย่างเดียว – ควรเพิ่ม SDG 3 ใน มคอ.3 ของทั้งสองวิชา
-
HURS ขอจำนวนผู้เรียนและผลประเมินรายวิชา – ใช้ มคอ.5 ของวิชาเหล่านี้
