Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of physical education teachers in the implementation of the School Health Movement (GSS) in SMP Negeri Se-Kecamatan Praya, Central Lombok, during the 2023/2024 academic year. A descriptive survey design was used, and data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 12 physical education teachers from selected schools. The results showed that the role of physical education teachers in implementing GSS was significant, with an average score of 90.58%, categorized as "Excellent". Teachers played a crucial role in promoting healthy living habits, monitoring student hygiene, and ensuring a healthy school environment. The study found that while there was a significant contribution in promoting healthy behaviors, areas such as observing student behavioral abnormalities and recognizing signs of infectious diseases still need improvement. The study suggests that physical education teachers play an essential role in fostering health and wellness in schools, contributing to the overall success of the GSS program.
