Depression is very common to the older adults and thus, the community should assume it and treat it as a usual way of ageing among the adults (National Institute on Aging, 2017). Only a few people open up about this kind of disease and discuss their health status and symptoms with healthcare providers (Lyness, 2019). This topic is also significant to the patients when they get educated about depression as it will help in addressing the early signs and symptoms of depression.

Depression.

2. Depression is one of the common diseases that have killed many

and thus, the community should assume it and treat it as a usual

POPULATION
ANSWER
Describe, in detail, the characteristics of the population you are
planning to teach with the Visual Teaching Tool.
The population I will focus on is when teaching with visual
teaching planning is the older people. Most of the focus is
precisely those who are under nursing care services and are

BARRIERS
ANSWER
What are some potential learning barriers for this population of
learners?
(Barriers might be cultural, physical, educational, or
environmental. Refer to the assigned article in the project
guidelines for more information.)
During the teaching planning and learning process, several
potential barriers can hinder the process among the population.
Educational barriers are one of the common barrier that will
hinder learning. This is because most of the adults did not get
enough education; therefore during the teaching process, they
will need to be interpreted in their vernacular languages.
Physical factors such as poor eyesight, hearing problems, and
other physical disabilities are among other barriers to learning.
Describe how you could develop your Visual Teaching Tool in a
way that will address these potential barriers.
Since adult learning is a complex and challenging process
(Ahmad & Paul, 2017), in my Visual Teaching tools, I will use
different forms to address the problem. For example, I will use
photos to depict the results of depression. I will also add some
video and audio to make it clear for those even who have
eyesight problems and also stimulate their minds.
SETTING
ANSWER
Where do you plan to utilise your Visual Teaching Tool?
(Examples: primary care clinic, health fair, school, etc…)
I will use or utilise my visual teaching tool mostly in the

4. Nursing care centres. This is because most of the individuals
who have depression are being taken care off in the centres.
Will you be teaching one-on-one, in small groups, or to a large
crowd?
I will be focusing on small groups since most of them may have
different disabilities and other barriers. Therefore, regrouping
them into small groups and teach them. Also, I will conduct
one-one teaching for those individuals who have some physical
challenges.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
ANSWER
Write three specific learning objectives. Your visual teaching
tool will address.
Example:At the end of this education, the learner will be able to
list 3 benefits of regular physical activity.
1. At the end of the teaching, the learner will be able to identify
early symptoms of depression.
2. At the end of this education, the learner will have a higher
chance to have a better quality of life and improve his or her
ability to prevent depression.
3. At the end of this education, the learner will understand the
importance of coping with stress to avoid depression.
EVALUATION
ANSWER
Write a paragraph describing how you could evaluate whether
your visual teaching tool was successful and met the learning
objectives. Consider the population’s abilities and the setting.
To ensure that the teaching process is successful, after the

5. teaching process, I will ask them things what they have learned
from the teaching. I may also ask questions to see if they have
understood the teaching process.
This will help me to know if the teaching plan and method used
was able to produce the required insights in understanding the
topic.
