Week 1 Assignment

VARK Analysis Paper

Learning styles
represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences,
weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational
outcome, learning styles must be considered when creating a plan. Complete
“The VARK Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then
complete the following:

Click “OK”
to receive your questionnaire scores.

Once you have
determined your preferred learning style, review the corresponding link to view
your learning preference.

Review the other
learning styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed
on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).

Compare your current
preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred
learning style.

Examine how awareness
of learning styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.

In a paper (750?1,000
words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value
of learning styles. Include the following:

Provide a summary of
your learning style according the VARK questionnaire.

Describe your
preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred learning
strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.

Describe how
individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand
or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator
identifying individual learning styles and preferences when working with
learners.

Discuss why
understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health
promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How do learning styles
ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral change? How would different
learning styles be accommodated in health promotion?

Week 2 Assignment

Family Health
Assessment Part I

Understanding family
structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a
family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify
strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately
helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health
assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial
assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview
questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The
questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess
functional health patterns for each of the following:

Values/Health
Perception

Nutrition

Sleep/Rest

Elimination

Activity/Exercise

Cognitive

Sensory-Perception

Self-Perception

Role Relationship

Sexuality

Coping

Select a family, other
than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview.
Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to
conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you
conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the
interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings.
Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following
in your paper:

Describe the family
structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family
composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.

Summarize the overall
health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.

Based on your
findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths
noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers
to health were identified.

Describe how family
systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in
turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Cite at least three
peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should
be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment
criteria.
