Assignment 2: Writing Learning Objectives (30%)
This assignment, writing of learning objectives, will allow you to gain knowledge that is foundational to the teaching learning process and provide you with the opportunity to partially achieve the course learning outcome: apply the teaching and learning process to a health-related situation in a systematic manner that reflects the principles of teaching and learning presented in this course. Supporting information to assist you in writing learner-centered objectives is addressed in the learning activities of Unit 4 and Unit 5: The Art of Writing Learner-Centered Objectives
. Assignment 2 is part 1 of developing and then simulating a learner-centered teaching plan. In this component you are asked to select from one of the following teaching and learning categories:
Category 1: Health care professional/individual as client teaching and learning
Category 1: Health care professional/individual as client teaching and learning
Case 1
John is a retired 57-year-old man with a 5-year history of type 2 diabetes. He was diagnosed with diabetes in 2010 but he had symptoms indicating hyperglycemia for 2 years before diagnosis. He had fasting blood glucose records indicating values of 6.6-7.1 mmol/L (118127 mg/dl), which were described to him as indicative of “borderline diabetes.” His doctor has been encouraging to lose weight (at least 10 kg. as he currently weights 100 kg and is 180 cm tall. Write learning objectives to guide your teaching about the importance of weight loss related to type 2 diabetes.
________________________________________
Based on this case study, a clear, measureable objective must be written for each of the 3 domains – cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Assignment 2 must be submitted, marked and returned to you prior to submitting assignment 3. Assignment 2 is foundational to assignment 3 so ensure you consider your tutor’s feedback.
Evaluation Criteria for Assignment 2 Writing Learning Objectives
Assignment 2 should include the following:
Articulate 3 objectives – one for each domain cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Be certain each of the objectives you develop is at minimum:
o learner-centered
o discrete
o written in clear, measurable terms
o reflective of your assigned case study
o reasonable for a 3 minute teaching session
Provide rationale including integration of theoretical knowledge, that is, evidence based practice to support each objective.
Provide evidence of application of course concepts and references of external sources as needed to support each learner centered objective.
APA format, maximum 4 pages excluding title and reference pages
