Training Methods in Health Education

1.As a result of completing the study course, the student will know and be able to do the following: - explain the concepts of interactivity and learning styles; - describe the concept and nature of the icebreaker method; - describe the nature of the lecture method, its advantages and disadvantages; - describe the meaning and purpose of the brainstorming method; - name and describe the concept and nature of group work, the phases of the group process, the roles of group members; - explain the nature of the discussion method, the principles of its organisation, list and describe the different types of discussion; - explain the meaning and nature of game methods, list the different types of games; - describe the nature, purpose and principles of role-play; - explain the nature of imitation play, list the elements of its structure; - explain the purpose and nature of the situational analysis method; - list the phases of the project work method, explain the meaning and significance of the method.

1.The student will be able to: - classify, distinguish and describe different learning styles; - compare different training methods, differentiate their effectiveness; - recognise the activities of the icebreaker method and apply them in practice; - discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the lecture method; put into practice a lecture with elements of interactivity; - purposefully direct and summarise the results of the brainstorming method using different technical aids in practice; - explain the group work process, differentiate the roles of the group members, organise the method in practice; - explain the principles of the discussion method, put into practice, guide, purposefully direct and summarise the discussion process, use different types of discussion; - differentiate and recognise different types of games, identify appropriate materials; - practice and manage role-playing games in a purposeful way, respecting the principles of role-playing in relation to the participants; - practice the methodology of imitation play in health education; - implement and purposefully manage situation analysis; - manage and coordinate different types of project work by the trainees.

1.The student will be able to: - discuss in a reasoned way the different learning styles of individuals and the need for and use of interactive methods in health education; - independently develop and implement examples of icebreaker activities and train others in their use; - independently develop lecture materials, incorporating as many different elements of interactivity as possible; - adapt and develop brainstorming subjects relevant to the public health sector; - react and work methodically with different group role-players, resolve conflicts within the group; - develop discussion questions on different health topics independently; control and facilitate discussion also in a conflict situation; - develop role-plays independently and creatively; - adapt existing and develop new imitation games on different health issues; - find and develop situations for analysis by the trainees; - create a project work structure, adapting it to different health topics.
