The Education Triangle
Objectives
Evaluation
( Test )
Strategy
( Methods of
teaching )
Teaching and Education
* an art or science?
* an inborn natural talent, or science
with rules to be learned and skills to
be acquired?.
What is the teacher/educator’s role:
* to” transfer “knowledge?
* to facilitate active learning?
e.g. - ask Qs and discuss.
- encourage self learning.
- give ideas.
- advise free reading.
Who Educates in Diabetes?
- a “ health care” member (with good
background in DM and adequate training ).
- team approach (to avoid contradictions), with
“ patient-oriented” objectives.
- have experience in education technology
(objectives , strategy & evaluation).
- not biased.
- no show business educators
(circus, parties, ,etc..).
What is active learning:( in strategy)
- A standard lecture if only talking= hearning(1)
- Add: black board +charts &pictures=seeing(2)
- Active learning = acting (3), e.g. by:
* answer Q , discuss.
* take notes.
* explain to others
* do action using the information.
* exercise (e.g. collect data, play role,solve
problem ..etc)
Reliability & Validity ( in Evaluation)
* A reliable test yields a stable reading
from repeated measurements ( to
establish reliability : test-retest)
* Validity : when the instrument used for the
measuring (test) is the proper one for
the test.
The Feed Back( FB)
* Why ? To inform about achievement
* How ? by tests to measure outcomes
(knowledge-skills-attitudes).
* To be of real value the FB should:
1- motivate
2- indicate a level (grade) of achievement
(e.g. good, very good, bad ..etc)
3- identify mistakes (what was wrong?)
4- guide to correct (knowledge , action ,
etc.) , for improving.
Setting the Education to the Community
Needs ( Community Analysis for objectives )
* Define the needs of the community for
certain jobs.
* Establish job description ; define the tasks
needed to be done during each job.
* Then , set the objectives to be achieved to enable
these tasks to be performed :
( including: knowledge, skills & attitudes)
* Design the curriculum to deliver a course, with
time table and plan of action (strategy).
* Design evaluation .
Task-oriented education
- Education specific for preparing
candidates for a particular job to meet
the particular need for the community.
Task Analysis
Definitions: study of the specific task to identify how
it could be perfectly done .
* Each task requires ( set objectives)
(i) Specific knowledge
(ii) Specific skills
- psychomotor skills
- skills of communication
- skills of cognition
(iii) Specific attitudes.
Important : avoid the too much knowledge not
required for performance of the task.
Example of task selection needed for the
job of “Podologist “
1- Examine feet: color , temperature , pulse , etc
2- Diagnose problems : dryness, ischaemia,
neuropathy , ulcer, gangarene..etc.
3- Manage : e.g. dressing ulcers,
cut nail, debridment & Doppler …etc.
4- Educate patients
Task analysis is required for :
1- Defining the contents of the course.
2- Defining the methods of teaching the
course.
3- Defining the tests to evaluate.
achievement of the objectives.
Task analysis:
Knowledge
- Anatomy
- Factors foot vuln.
- Mechanics of
walking
- Circulation
- Pain sensation…etc
requirements for Podologist)
Skills
(viz how to learn)
- Cutting nails:
technique,
instruments.
- Debridment..etc
Attitudes
(viz how to learn)
- Show respect
- Accuracy
- Showing care &
sympathy…etc.
