Join Kimberley for an evidence-based exploration of this topic which will include learning about biases in several different areas (sexual identity, physical weight, race, socioeconomic status, education, age, and disability), defining the scale of the problem, and how some in healthcare are working to combat bias and improve outcomes for patients.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. The Rise of Medicine
• Why we think doctors are special:
• Universally valued product
• High moral calling to do good
• Professionalism
• Individual objectivity
• Impression management
3. Power of Doctors
• Doctors have the power to:
• construct their own pay rates.
• create demand for their products.
• regulate themselves.
• prescribe medications.
• “medicalize” conditions.
4. Medicalization
• Medicalization - the process by which
problems or issues not traditionally seen as
medical came to be framed as such.
• Pregnancy and childbirth
• Alcoholism
• Depression
• Nutrition
5. Biomedical Culture
• Historically, doctors weren’t powerful.
• Rome - slaves, poor freedmen, or
foreigners.
• England - rose from barber profession.
• Russia - payed about 75% of industrial
workers’ wages.
6. Biomedical Culture
• Reasons for Rise of Biomedical Culture
• Ability to offer “health” or actual increase in
years lived.
• Exclusion of other health frameworks
through licensing
• Legal authority through licensing
• Increased importance of larger institutions
(like hospitals)
7. Decline of Doctors?
• Reasons for loss of power in recent years:
• Rise of HMOs
• Rise of external regulations
• Patient Bill of Rights (1998)
• EMTALA (1986)
• COBRA (1985)
• HIPAA (1996)
• Rise of other forms of medicine
• Improved technology
8. Being Sick...
• The Sick Role (Talcott Parsons)
• Two Rights:
• Exemption from normal social roles
• Lack of accountability for illness
• Two Obligations:
• Try to get well.
• Seek the assistance of qualified individuals.
9. Social Construction of
Illness
• Religious views and practices:
• Seizures, faith healing, fire-cupping, coin rubbing.
• Medicalization:
• Alcoholism (don’t blame the victim)
• Understanding of pathologies:
• Cancer, obesity, heart disease (blame the victim)
14. U.S. Healthcare System
• Types of Coverage:
• Fee-for-service
• Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)
• Public Insurance
• State Children’s Health Insurance Programs
(SCHIP or KCHIP in Kentucky)
• Uninsured or Private Pay
15. Morbidity and Mortality
• Morbidity - illness in a general sense
• Mortality - death
• Whitehall Study:
• Men only
• Universal health access
• Who you are, where you live, how much you
earn, and what you do for a living all impact
health.
16. Born Unequal
• Gender differences:
• More boys than girls born, but higher infant
mortality for male babies.
• Sex ratios: 1.05 in US; 1.12 in China.
• Multiple Births
• IVF - multiple implanted embryos
• Ovulation increasing medications - more
fertilized eggs.
17. Post-Birth Health
Inequalities
• Low birth weight:
• Less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces.
• Caused by:
• Intrauterine growth restriction (IGR)
• Premature birth
• Prenatal health
• Mother’s health
18. Race and Health
• Life expectancy
• Infant mortality
• Disease prevalence:
• African Americans - heart disease and cancer
• Native Americans - cirrhosis and suicide
• Hispanics - diabetes and HIV/AIDS
• Racism as possible cause.
20. Socioeconomic Status
• Selection theory - spurious relationship
• Drift explanation - health causes social position
• Social determinants - social status determines
health
• Psychosocial - social class relative to those
around them.
• Materialist - differential access to health is
determined by SES.
• Fundamental - how social factors shape illness
21. Socioeconomic Status
• “Natural” Experiments through Policy Change
• Compulsory education - mid-1900s
• Each year of school decreased odds of death
by 3.6%.
• Social Security policy - 1977
• Lower Social Security payments led to
longer life.
• Due in part to continued workforce
participation.
22. Marital Status
• Married people tend to live longer,
especially men.
• Reasons:
• Health as precursor for marriage.
• Marriage decreases unhealthy behaviors.
23. Sex and Health
• Women live longer than men.
• Reasons:
• Disease prevalence differences.
• Healthcare-seeking behaviors.
24. Sex & Race Combined
• Much more profound impact than either
factor alone.
• Reasons:
• Racism
• Lower SES
• More dangerous jobs
25. Family Structure
• Larger families have higher childhood mortality.
• Supervision
• Closely-spaced families have higher childhood mortality.
• Supervision, maternal health.
• First-born children are more likely to die in childhood.
• Less experienced parents, unintended pregnancies,
mortality “creates” firstborns.
26. Mental Health
• Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM)
• DSM-I: 1952 - 60 disorders, standardized the
canon
• DSM-II: social context was important
• DSM-III: removed social context, followed
medical model
• DSM-IV: 400 disorders, necessary for medical
billing and insurance reimbursement.
