Assignment 1: Development of Your Teaching-Learning Philosophy
Your personal assessment of your philosophy of teaching and learning should be unique to you. This assignment will give you a good base for enhanced learning through the remainder of this course and will provide you the opportunity to achieve the course learning outcome: describe the complexities and realities of health teaching from a personal and theoretical perspective. Supporting information and assessment of your philosophy of teaching and learning is addressed in Units 1 – 3. Feel free to incorporate elements of the models presented in the WHO (2012) Health Education: Theoretical Concepts, Effective Strategies and Core Competencies-document that fit with your experience in motivating people to learn.
