Health Education plays an important role Week 3

Health Education plays an important role when formulating programs that will involve both patient and their respective families. Typically, it requires health care providers to use a systematic approach when generating these educational programs. One requirement would be to assure that the individuals involved in the articulation of these programs are well trained to do so. For Instance, making sure that the following elements are covered:

Focusing on need to know content and omitting unnecessary information.

Explaining to participants what new information or skill they’re learning.

Guide trainers in choosing appropiate learning methods to enhance patient’s learning.

Assist trainers in designing appropriate assessment and evaluation tools that accurately reflect curriculum.

Once Healthcare providers have clearly outlined specific knowledge, information, attitudes, and skills that participants are expected to gain then they can proceed with construction of learning objectives. The learning objectives should be clear, conscise and include the following components: audience, behavior, standard and condition. For better maximization of objectives, healthcare providers should also consider the three different components of learning: cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Usage of all these tools, enables heath providers to develop more holistic and comprehensive objectives which therefore creates effective educational programs.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
