Action research study demonstrates improved engagement and scientific literacy in secondary students, highlighting the value of interdisciplinary One Health education.
This study explores how One Health, which connects human, animal, and environmental health, can be integrated into Austrian secondary education through interdisciplinary lessons combining biology and English. Three lessons on microbes, infections, and antibiotic resistance were developed and implemented in five classes. Using action research, materials were adapted based on student feedback, with scaffolding and digital tools supporting comprehension and engagement. Results suggest that both younger and older students benefited, highlighting the potential of interdisciplinary teaching to foster scientific literacy and awareness of global issues. The study also emphasizes the importance of embedding One Health in teacher education to support sustainable, transdisciplinary learning.
