Developing Biotechnological Competency: Integrating Psychological Education into Digital Health-Focused English Curriculum for Biotech Industry Professionals

Abstract

This study explores the integration of psychological education within the English curriculum tailored for biotechnology professionals, emphasizing its importance in enhancing communication and mental resilience in high-stress environments. The analysis focuses on the effectiveness of a graded teaching model that incorporates mental health awareness alongside English language instruction, designed to improve both psychological well-being and language proficiency critical in biotech settings. The curriculum system proposed includes a combination of compulsory and elective modules, with digital resources tailored to address the specific needs of the biotech industry. Results from a controlled study indicate significant improvements in both the emotional well-being and English proficiency of participants (p<0.001), suggesting that integrating psychological education into professional training programs can significantly enhance the performance and mental health of biotech professionals. These findings offer valuable insights into developing more holistic training programs in the biotechnology sector.
