Dimensions and elements of self-knowledge with a focus on health, its consequences and validation in the evolutionary documents of the educational system

The purpose of this study is to analyze self-knowledge with a focus on health and its consequences and validate it in the educational documents of education

The research method is qualitative. The community studied is the sources published about anthropology and the transformational documents of education and experts for validation. The sample of the research is purposeful. The tools for collecting information are surveys and questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed through “theme analysis” and “Shannon entropy” method.

The universal themes counted in the dimension of “man’s relationship with himself” include two main themes, cognition of the body (with three sub-themes) and “awareness of abilities”(with three sub-themes) and awareness of threats (with three sub-themes). In the “consequences” section, health-oriented with a prevention approach in three areas of physical self-care (with two basic themes such as health care and strengthening physical strength), social self-care (with three basic themes such as situational awareness, self-reflection and adaptation)  and moral self-care (with three basic themes such as cultivation, acquiring moral virtues and avoiding moral vices) were investigated. The analysis of the data obtained from the partial validation showed that the experts confirmed the subjects counted in the two dimensions of self-knowledge and the field of “self-care with a health-oriented approach. “In the dimension of self-awareness, the most agreement is about “knowledge of the body” and in the dimension of consequences, the most agreement is primarily on “physical self-care issues” and then “moral self-care”.
