Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the needs for Positive Body Image development in adolescents through academic management in educational institutions. The study was based on data collected from 342 secondary schools, which were selected through stratified sampling. Data were gathered using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire with high reliability (α ≥ .90). The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNImodified). The findings indicated that, in terms of promoting positive body image, the highest priority need was Body self-care, followed by Broadly conceptualizing beauty, Resilience to body image threats, and Body appreciation and acceptance, respectively. Regarding academic administration development, assessment and evaluation emerged as the highest priority area, followed by learning management, curriculum development, and student guidance. Specifically, within the domain of assessment and evaluation, the most critical need was the utilization of assessment data to support decision-making and enhance learning management. In this context, Resilience to body image threats was identified as most urgently needed aspect of positive body image.
