Addressing complex health issues: developing contextual knowing through sequenced writing and presentations
1Miami University, Ohio, USA. masonch@muohio.edu
Abstract:
When students discuss possible solutions for health problems they tend to form quick opinions, rush to conclusions, and suggest answers that do not address all the factors or stakeholders involved. Therefore, teaching the complexity of community health issues can be challenging. A series of learning activities applying Baxter-Magolda's model of four stages of college students' intellectual development is used to help students address complex health problems. Two written assignments and two presentations involving role playing are sequenced throughout the semester. This project has been well received by students and other faculty.
