Development of a School-Based Mental Health Curriculum for Secondary Schools——Core Literacy Oriented

Abstract

The organic integration of psychological health education with the cultivation of core competencies represents a prominent direc-tion in the current reform of moral education in secondary schools. While promoting the dissemination of psychological health knowledge and strengthening students’ psychological resilience, schools must also enhance students’ abilities to apply psychological principles in ad-dressing and resolving practical challenges in their academic and personal lives. This multifaceted approach aims to effectively improve the overall quality of students. Accordingly, the present study, in conjunction with practical considerations, examines the current state of psycho-logical health education in secondary schools and investigates the development strategies for school-based psychological health education curriculum within the framework of core competency orientation.
