The researchers have identified a shortage in assessment methods for Health Education for lower primary students in the classroom. This puts pressure on teachers who teach Health Education. To ease the burden on teachers and save time, the researchers have developed a Health Education assessment module for classroom use. The module was designed using the Fuzzy Delphi method, where experts from various fields were consulted through a questionnaire (FDM 1) to reach a consensus on the construct of the module. The results showed that all the constructs and items met the criteria set by the Fuzzy Delphi method, including a threshold value less than 0.2, a consensus percentage greater than 75%, and an Alpha cut value greater than 0.5. These results indicate that the Health Education assessment module is acceptable and suitable for use in the classroom.
