Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
To develop:
- a critical awareness of the relationship between the theory and practice of health promotion
- the ability to develop core health promotion practice competencies in relation to needs assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of a health event
- the ability to apply theory to practice in the context of an actual health promoting event. |
Assessment Information
Assessment is in two parts:
&· Group assessment of the planning, implementation and evaluation of a health event within the University setting (30%)
&· An individual student report of the processes involved in planning, implementation and evaluation of the health event based on critical reflection. 3,000 words (70%).
Part 1
Students will be required to work together to organise and stage a health event. Students will be assessed as a group. Marks will be awarded in relation to both the planning process and the outcome of the event.
Part 2
This assessment is in the form of a critical reflective course paper of the processes involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the health event. The reflective log can be be included as an appendix to the critical reflective course paper. |
