Power Point Final Exam Project

HLTH 3420 Health Education

 

Each student will be completing an individual power point presentation over your Health Education topic. The Health Education topic is something of particular interest to you in the realm of health care. The topic is submitted to your instructor for approval prior to beginning the teaching project. You may need a bit of guidance in targeting your topic. Examples of a few topics previously used:

· Understanding Hyperthyroidism

· Recognizing Stress

· What you do not Know about Peridontal Disease

· Childhood Obesity

· HIV/AIDS Among Women

 

You are a health care provider teaching your first class. You will teach the class using a PowerPoint presentation. You will also provide a handout for the audience. The following assignments will assist you in developing the final presentation:

>Select a topic of interest

>Develop Behavioral/Learning Objectives

>Design a Content Outline

>Completion of a Teaching Plan Outline

 

 

Your submitted presentation will be worth 20% of your grade

· Your PowerPoint presentation will consist of 20-28 slides. Each slide will contain lecture notes located in the “Speaker notes” area below the slide to supplement your power point slides. Speaker notes will consist of at least five sentences per slide. Speaker notes are what you would actually say to the audience.

· Slide 1: The name of the class you have created, your name, name of the course (Health Education), semester & year

· Slides 2-28: Contain the following information: (You may add up to 5 slides to insert additional information)

a. Slide 2-3: Introduction/Background of the topic

(may include definition, statistics, prevalence)

b. Slide 3-5: List your overall goal/learning outcome and related objectives. A minimum of 3 objectives are required.

c. Body of the presentation will take approximately 5-10 slides: Begin with the Content Outline you’ve developed and provide the teaching information that you will share with your audience. Be careful not to crowd too much information on your slides. Most of your effort will be in the “speaker notes” in the white space area below the slide as you actually teach the class. This is where you will provide detailed information for the content that is presented on the slide to the audience. In an actual presentation, the audience only sees the PPT slide, not the speaker notes. Remember, this is what you will say to the audience.

d. Conclusion/ Summary: 1-2 slides.

e. Convert your previous submitted written handout into a slide if possible. If you cannot do it, it is ok, since I have already viewed and graded your handout. (1-2 slides).

f. You will add 3 small visual aids incorporated throughout your content. You may also want to add a large visual aid (1-2 slides) at the end of the presentation to show what you may use in class. Please use clip art or other pictures which are not copyright protected.

g. Provide evaluation method (insert quiz, return demonstration instructions, general questions you will ask) (1-2 slides) for each evaluation method you planned.

h. Find and summarize two research articles found on your subject in a journal using the online University library, Galileo. Etc. (2 slides). Make sure to also provide the web links or cite complete information according to APA format in your references.

i. List at least 4 references from reliable health sites and 2 references from the research articles (total 6 references) (1 slide).

j. How will you prepare your classroom? Are chairs in a semi-circle? Are there tables or desk? List all the supplies you will need in the beginning of your speaker notes under introduction. Example: chalkboard, LCD projector, CD player, 12 chairs, snacks, dry erase board, etc.

General Tips for Success on the Project

· Keep it simple! Less on the slide is actually better.

· Save details for the speaker notes.

· Contrast text and background color. Make sure the font and color can be easily read by the audience. Be creative and professional in appearance with slides.

· Do not insert pictures which are copyrighted sources as you do not have permission to use them. Us only pictures from “Clip Art” or other sources that are not copyright infringements.

· Please note: Lecture/ speaker notes are inserted below the slide. Speaker notes are what you would actually be saying if you are presenting this information in class. They are also known as speaker/ lecture notes. If you have questions how to insert speaker notes, please contact the HUB. Speaker notes do not go in the slide, but underneath in the “text area” below the slide.

· Slides contain only bullet points and abbreviated words. Do not routinely use sentences on the actual slides. Do not include too much detailed information on your slides as your audience will be reading your slides and not listening to you.

· Select two research articles pertaining to your subject from the online library available through Clayton State. If you are not sure how to do this, please contact the school library.

Initial Analysis for Program Planning Needs Assessment

/in /by

Assignment 1: Initial Analysis for Program Planning

Needs Assessment

“As a concept, need is not only difficult to define but, once defined, difficult to measure” (Kettner, Moroney, & Martin, 2017, p. 63). Likewise, it can be challenging to define and measure assets—yet it is equally important to do so during this phase of program planning. This week’s Learning Resources provide foundational information and guidance for conducting needs assessments, which entails discerning needs that must be addressed in light of the assets that are present.

As you return to Assignment 1, the attention turns to conducting a needs assessment for the problem you have identified. What data collection strategies could be most useful? What issues would likely be encountered? How would you address them?

To prepare for this week’s section of Assignment 1:

  • Continue      (from the Discussion) to:
    • Identify       a viable approach for conducting a needs assessment for your problem.
    • Identify       method(s) of data collection.
    • Assess       potential challenges and propose alternatives/solutions.

The full Assignment 1 is due by day 4 (Thursday 12/20/18) of this week. Instructions have been provided in previous weeks to help you prepare.

By Day 4

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper, in APA format with at least 7 scholarly references in which you address the following level 1 and 2 header:

Also include an introduction and a conclusion as per APA guidelines.

1) Identification of a Problem and a Population

  • Identify      a problem and a target population.
    (Note: Your problem      should be clearly developed and related to a health-promotion and      disease-prevention issue of national significance. You should select a      target population so that your program can be designed to create maximum      yet realistic impact at the aggregate level.)

2) Using a Theory or Model

  • Analyze      a theory or model that is relevant to your selected problem. Explain why      this is the most appropriate model for you to use with this problem.

3) Literature Review (provide at least 4 scholarly articles less than 5 years old) )

  • Assess      the literature as it relates to your problem. Use evidence from the      literature to support your response to the following question: Why is it important to assist this      population to resolve the selected problem?

4) Needs Assessment

  • Describe      an appropriate approach to conducting a needs assessment for your problem.
  • Identify      method(s) of data collection.
  • Assess      potential challenges and propose alternatives/solutions.

Required Readings

Hodges, B. C., & Videto, D. M. (2011). Assessment and planning in health programs (2nd ed.). Sudbury, MA: Jones & Bartlett Learning.

Chapter 1, “Assessment for Developing Programs and Interventions: The Big Picture”

Chapter 1 notes the importance of looking not just at needs but also the assets associated with the target population and environment; that is, assessing what needs to be addressed given the assets that are present.

This report offers a guide for the use of the logic model in program planning and outcome-oriented evaluation for nonprofit projects.

Chapter 3, “Data Collection Strategies for Needs Assessments and Evaluations”

In Chapter 3, the authors examine data collection, a key element of needs assessments. They also indicate that it is wise to plan ahead and consider data collection strategies for evaluation at the same time.

  • Chapter 2, “Paint a Picture of Your Target Population:      Assessing Assets and Problems” 

This chapter presents valuable information for identifying your target population during program planning. Note: Some of the information in this chapter extends into needs assessment, which will be addressed in Week 4.

Chapter 6, “The Importance and Use of Theories in Health Education and Health Promotion”

The authors describe various theories, noting that theories are not universally applicable to every program.

Kettner, P. M., Moroney, R. M., & Martin, L. L. (2017). Designing and managing programs: An effectiveness-based approach (5th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.

  • Review Chapter 1, “Contemporary Issues in Social      Services Program Planning and Administration” (See attached file).
  • Review Chapter 3, “Understanding Social      Problems” (See attached file).

Review these chapters as needed to help you identify a health care-related problem for program planning and evaluation. For instance, you may find the problem analysis information on page 13 and pages 38–39 beneficial.

Chapter 2, “The Contribution of Theory to Program Planning”

This chapter examines the application of theory in program planning.

Chapter 4, “Needs Assessment: Theoretical Considerations”

Chapter 5, “Needs Assessment: Approaches to Measurement”

These two chapters provide foundational information as well as guidance for conducting a needs assessment as part of program planning.
