Study Notes

Planning and Conducting Health Education Classes (Part 2)

Learning needs assessment is a systematic process to identify the gap between student knowledge and needed competency.
Learning needs assessment aims to determine learning goals, closing the gap between what the student currently knows and what they need to know to achieve competency.
Learning needs can stem from various factors, including lack of skills or knowledge, insufficient equipment or resources, new technology, new processes and procedures, changes in workplace priorities, new responsibilities, or a change in job role.

Types of Learning Needs

Core capabilities learning needs (generalist needs): These skills are essential for all employees, regardless of their specific role or job. Examples include interpersonal skills, communication, client service, negotiation, and leadership.
Functional learning needs: These are occupation-specific skills. Not all employees within a workplace require these skills. Examples include contract management skills or specialist human resource management skills.
Workplace-specific learning needs: These are discrete function expertise that applies to particular workplaces, business application, discrete functions or departments. Examples include specific travel procedures or emergency evacuation procedures.

Learning Need Assessment Process

Step 1: Identifying the problem and needs: This involves analyzing organizational structures, roles, responsibilities, and policies to identify problem areas and learning needs. Determine the current performance and knowledge to illustrate the gap. Set up overall objectives for the training course.
Step 2: Designing the needs assessment: Define the target groups to be trained, identify interviewees, and select appropriate survey methods coupled with a timeframe.
Step 3: Collecting data: Involves data collection methods like structured interviews, semi-structured interviews, observations, questionnaires, and focus group discussions, employing techniques like close-ended or open-ended questions to capture relevant information. Collect the survey data.
Step 4: Analyzing the data: Analyze collected data to understand and identify the various aspects of skills required, for example, psycho-motor skills, procedural skills, knowledge transfer, communication skills, colossal thinking, attitude learning, performance training, and physiological stresses.
Step 5: Provide feedback: Obtaining feedback from stakeholders to assess program effectiveness and knowledge/skill acquisition. Analyzing this feedback highlights potential program weaknesses that need improvement or revision to meet objectives and expectations.

Experiential Learning

Definition: Experiential learning is a process of gaining knowledge through hands-on experiences, followed by reflection. It allows connections to be drawn between learned theories and real-world scenarios.
Kolb's Model: Kolb’s experiential cycle model involves four stages: Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC), Active Experimentation (AE).

Conventional Learning

Definition: Conventional learning, also known as traditional learning, follows a structured setting with a mentor or teacher, a confined facility, and scheduled meetings (fixed times). Testing is an integral part of the method, assessing student knowledge
Method: Often referred to as “chalk and talk,” this method uses direct instruction from the teacher, whose role is focused on sharing knowledge with students and conducting assessments.
Materials: Traditional learning relies on textbooks, reference books, lesson plans, workbooks, flashcards, charts, supplemental reading materials, graphic organizers, interactive materials (like photographs, illustrations, charts, graphs, maps, multimedia, movies, games), and physical objects.

Student-Centered Learning

Definition: Student-centered learning empowers students to choose the subject matter and how they learn it.
Examples: Student-centered learning allows diverse learning experiences, flexibility, and personal involvement. Examples include independent projects, reflective writing, journals, peer mentoring, debates, and writing in newspapers or editorials instead of passively receiving information from a teacher.
