Principles of Health Education
All ____________________ are responsible for promoting health and instituting
preventive aspects of care
health workers
How should Health Education be Conducted
- Demonstration
- Word of mouth
- Use of audiovisual aids
- Film showing
- Modular instruction
A systemic, sequential, logical,
scientifically based and planned course
of action consisting of teaching &
learning
Education Process
Characteristic of Effective Health Education
- Opinion makers
- Reinforcement
- Adaptable through different techniques
- Entertaining
- “Localized”
- Short term benefits
- Learner participation and feedback
- Demonstrative
a process which provides the educator
with information regarding the students knowledge & skills
Assessment
A carefully organized written presentation of what the learner needs to learn & how the educator is going to initiate the teaching process
Planning
this includes procedures or techniques & strategies that teacher will use to best implement the plan
Implementation
measurement of the teaching-learning
performance of both the teacher & learner
Evaluation
factors that impede the ability to deliver
educational services
Barriers to Teaching
factors that negatively affect the ability of the learner to pay attention and process of information
Obstacles to Learning
lack of ramps/elevator, heavy
doors, inaccessible washrooms,
transportation, communication
Physical Disability
Lack of knowledge about &
sensitivity to disability issues
Negative Attitude & Stereo Types
Inadequate Physical Facilities & Funding
Institutional Factors
Teachers Qualifications & Values
personality traits & values
professional behavior
outlook in life
Teacher Factors
It would be difficult to understand
how to use a computer for the first
time if you did not have the
computer there in front of you
Lack of mass (physical object) of
what is being studied
consists of not having mastered prior skills before going on to more complicated or detailed steps.
Too steep a gradient
It produces a vast panorama of
reactions and is the prime factor
involved with stupidity
A Word not understood or wrongly understood
When reading long passages, our
memories for the first taught facts and
concepts may have faded by the time
we get to later passages
Memory fades
When we try to learn several things
close together, our minds will confuse
many of them and weaken the
accuracy of our memories. Implication:
We need to use techniques that
overcome interference.
Interference occurs
inner feelings and thoughts can also
distract us; doing two things one at the
same time weakens our focus.
Distractions lower attention
When we feel we must rush to get a
learning task done, we can outrun our
mind’s limited speed of taking in
information, making associations to it
Too fast working speeds prevent learning
When a book has to explain a topic with many parts that
lack an obvious pattern, it is hard to understand and
hard to remember. Implication: Recognize complexity
and study to make it understandable.
Complex material hinders learning
When there is a lot of material to remember and too
little time to learn it, we can fail to reach our learning
goals. Similarly, when we are trying to develop skills
doing procedures with many parts to them, we may not
have enough time to practice and will fail to build up
skills.
Large volumes of material hinder learning
