Integrating biomechanics and biosensors for enhancing college students’ physical health and ideological literacy
Abstract
College students face a wide variety of challenges in the educational process, including physical and mental stressors, with implications for their overall well-being and academic performance. Ideological and political education (IPE) is an important aspect of higher education, fostering in students a sense of concern for broader societal issues, encouraging politically critical thinking, and promoting responsibility for their communities. However, mental illness undermines such literacy, as it inhibits the ability of students to engage properly with the concepts. It discusses how a biosensor-integrated health education platform can contribute to developing college students’ ideological and political literacy (IPL). The platform works by leveraging biomechanics and biosensors to monitor physiological factors, such as heart rate, stress levels, sleep quality, physical activity and biomechanics, making it probable for students to receive real-time feedback on their physiological states. In addition to helping improve students’ physical health, the platform also fosters ideological and political literacy by developing self-awareness, resilience, and social responsibility as essential qualities of active citizenship. Regression analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and student t-tests are used to measure effectiveness. The levels of depression and anxiety among students are also measured. The results show significant correlations between mental health indicators and improvements in ideological and political literacy, which means that the platform has the potential to combine physical health, biomechanics, mental well-being, and moral education into a single comprehensive framework for education. It promotes not only physical but also cognitive and emotional growth for the development of well-rounded, socially conscious individuals through the integration of health data with personalized interventions.
