Research design
In the first stage, a pre-test was conducted using the Critical Thinking Skills Success method both in the control and experimental groups. Regular paper forms were used. After the test, a focused pedagogical framework was introduced to students. A member of the experimental group attended an hour and a half of the integrated sports medicine programme once a week. Each of the 21 sessions began with warm-ups to avoid injury and warm muscles.During the training in the gym, Comparing the effectiveness of the traditional and integrative interactive programmes, at the final stage, members of different groups had to meet the provided standards following the current CNSPFS approved by the Chinese government in 2014 [The control group exercised in the gym for one hour, once a week, and then had a one-hour lesson in First Aid. No interactive tools were used. The physical education lesson was held in the traditional format and included a warm-up, contact games (football, basketball, and volleyball) and traditional standards and activities such as shuttle running, long jumps, push-ups, ball throwing and more. The first aid lesson in this group lasted one hour and was based only on textbook materials, which also included illustrations of instructions, similar to the First Aid application. In the control group, the acquisition of first aid knowledge took place through classroom-based instruction, predominantly delivered via teacher-led lectures. The topics were the same as those proposed to the experimental group in the application to create a playing field.After six months, a Critical Thinking Skills Success post-test was conducted. The scholars collected responses within three training days using paper forms. After that, participants in the experimental and control groups took a physical test based on the CNSPFS standard in China and also filled out a form with questions on first aid, which was part of the Integrated Sports Medicine Test. Moreover, the scholars gathered, synthesized, and analyzed the collected results.
