Abstract

the purpose of this study was to profile the teacher strategies in the implementation of COVID-19 curriculum as a chance to improve health literacy of high school students. The descriptive study was conducted, with two questionnaires were design as instruments and were separately made for teachers and students, and completed by interview. The questionnaires were prepared in Google Form and distributed to teachers and students via whatsapp. A total of 305 students and 34 teachers participated in this study. The research shows that although the Covid-19 Curriculum has implemented in science learning, but it has not had good impact to the health literacy of student. This is because of the weak strategy of teachers in online learning implementation. As many as 18.2 % of teachers used virtual face- to face learning to discuss the subject matter, meanwhile 81.8% of teachers learned student only through the online task without virtual face-to-face learning. This condition leads to the lower crtitical thinking skills of student those have to develop as a basis for enhancing student health literacy.
