The document discusses several theories that are relevant to peer education programs aimed at behavior change. It describes theories such as the information deficit model, affective education model, health belief model, theory of reasoned action, diffusion of innovations theory, IMBR model, social ecological model, social learning theory, and theory of participatory education. It analyzes how concepts from each theory can inform peer education approaches. At the end, it poses the question of whether peer education is best guided by a single theory or a theoretical framework that draws from multiple theories.

Therapeutic and non therapeuitc communication techniquesNursing Path
One of the most important skills of a nurse is developing the ability to establish a therapeutic relationship with clients. For interventions to be successful with clients in a psychiatric facility and in all nursing specialties it is crucial to build a therapeutic relationship.
The concept of health is often difficult to define and measure.
It is a broad concept and experience.
Its boundary extends beyond the "sick". It is often difficult to put a clear-cut demarcation between the "sick" and the "not sick". It depends on:
1) The perception of individuals
2) The threshold - e.g. pain
3) The ability to recognize symptoms and signs
WHO defines health as Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

La Flipped Classroom - Mettiamo la didattica tradizionale a testa in giùMichele Maffucci
Ma perché proprio la flipped classroom?
Insegno una materia tecnica, in cui il laboratorio è essenziale e mi sono accorto qualche anno fa, da quando incomincia a sperimentare l’uso della robotica in classe, che le metodologie che adottavo per recuperare competenze logiche matematiche o che mi servivano per insegnare ad imparare attraverso il fare, erano molto vicine alle azioni svolte nella metodologia “flipped classroom” la mia azione poteva essere paragonata ad una metodologia “almost flipped classroom”, in altro modo una “quasi classe rovesciata".
Alla mia azione mancavano alcune componenti di interazione on-line che non potevo effettuare in quanto qualche anno fa non tutti i miei allievi avevano un accesso ad internet.
Oggi (ultimi due anni) posso, senza alcun vincolo tecnologico, applicare la metodologia flipped.
La sperimentazione in laboratorio è un’attività che ho sempre svolto e ben si presta a sperimentazioni di flipped classroom in quanto ogni attività di sperimentazione necessita della componente di studio teorico che può essere strutturata attraverso strumenti di carattere tecnologico: video, lezioni on-line, esercizi, simulazioni a computer ed altro da svolgere a casa, mentre la parte di sperimentazione viene svolta in classe, sperimentazioni a livello di gruppo classe che strutturo seguendo il modello esposto nella presentazione: <a>Scienza ed automazione - modulo ROBOTICA</a> e che in questi anni ho migliorato.
Ogni attività di sperimentazione in classe ha una parte di discussione collettiva in cui si analizzano criticità della sperimentazione effettuata e molto spesso mettono in mostra carenze teoriche che devono essere spiegate anche in presenza, il processo iterativo di studio a casa, sperimentazione in classe e discussione e successivi approfondimenti da svolgere on-line porta, per “raffinamenti successivi” al raggiungimento della competenza.
Ritengo che l’attività del “fare” in classe inteso come laboratorio, certamente è la componente più importante, perché tende ad allontanare la passività di fruizione della lezione che si avrebbe in un classica lezione frontale.
Inoltre il confronto continuo tra pari, con l’azione guidata del docente consolidano abilità e competenze.
Progettare il proprio apprendimento a casa, sotto la guida del docente, rende consapevoli del proprio percorso di crescita ed allontana atteggiamenti di sfiducia.
Il docente diventa l’organizzatore di un processo di apprendimento, insegna ad imparare e ad organizzare.
Certamente attività che vanno al di fuori della tradizionale didattica vengono viste da alcuni colleghi come fantasiose o bizzarre e sicuramente sono difficili da sostenere da soli, ma i risultati positivi ottenuti, perseguendo strade “diverse”, incomincia ad essere accettate, ed in ogni caso se l’obiettivo è la felicità degli allievi perché non provarci? :-)
Health education may be defined as the sum total of all influences that collectively determine knowledge, belief, and behavior related to the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health in individuals and communities.
These influences comprise formal and informal education in the family, in the school, and in the society at large, as well as in special content of health service activities.
Health Promotion therefore is basically a term used to increasingly draw attention to the need for both educational and political action to influence health

Public health is a multi-disciplinary field that aims to 1) prevent disease and death, 2) promote a
better quality of ife, and 3) create environmental conditions in which people can be healthy by
intervening at the institutional, community, and societal level. Whether public health
practitioners can achieve this mission depends upon their abilty to accurately identify and define
public health problems, assess the fundamental causes of these problems, determine populations
most at-risk, develop and implement theory- and evidence-based interventions, and evaluate and
refine those interventions to ensure that they are achieving their desired outcomes without
unwanted negative consequences. To be effective in these endeavors, public health practitioners
must know how to apply the basic principles, theories, research findings, and methods of the
social and behavioral sciences to inform their efforts. A thorough understanding of theories used
in public health, which are mainly derived from the social and behavioral sciences, allow
practitioners to: - Assess the fundamental causes of a public health problem, and - Develop
interventions to address those problems. Note: This module has been translated into Estonian by

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

4. Behavior change is…
• central objective of public health interventions and
primal goal of all prevention programs;
• the motivational and actional reduction of risky (or
health-compromising) behaviors in favor of the
augmentation and sustentation of health-enhancing
behaviors;
• achieved through behavior change communication
(BCC).
5. Then behavior change communication
is…
• a scientifically-informed effort, integrated into each
and every public health program;
• an interactive process within the community;
• aimed at developing positive behaviors that promote
and sustain behavior change;
• carried out through specific messages and
approaches using a variety of communication
channels.
6. The information deficit model
Basic Assumption:
The adolescents would refrain from risky behavior
if they were provided with adequate information
demonstrating that this behavior may cause
serious harm to the body.
Great! But…
7. The information deficit model
Programs based solely on this objective did
increase knowledge as intended, but they were
evaluated as ineffective in terms of behavior
change.
8. The affective education model
Basic Assumption:
If a person develops stronger interpersonal
resources (building self-esteem) and general
social competence (decision-making,
communication, and assertiveness) he or she
would be able to avoid risky behavior, since he or
she would realize it as such.
Great! But…
9. The affective education model
Evaluation of these programs demonstrated that
they were almost as ineffective in reducing risky
behavior, as programmes based on the
information deficit model.
?
10. Health belief model
Basic Assumption:
If a person has a desire to avoid illness or to
get well (value) and the belief that a specific
health action would prevent illness
(expectancy), then a positive behavioral action
would be taken with regards to that behavior.
11. Health belief model
Key theoretical concepts in the
adoption of healthy behavior:
• Perceived susceptibility: Individuals consider
themselves at risk.
• Perceived severity: Individuals consider the risk to
have serious consequences.
• Perceived benefits: Individuals consider that taking
actions will be beneficial.
• Perceived barriers: Individuals consider that costs
are less than benefits.
12. Health belief model
In the context of peer education:
The most relevant concept in the health belief
model is that of perceived barriers. A peer
educator could reduce perceived barriers through
reassurance, correction of misinformation,
incentives and assistance.
13. Theory of reasoned action
Basic Assumption:
The individual performance of a given behavior is
preliminary determined by a person’s intention to
perform that behavior. The intention is
determined by two major factors:
14. Theory of reasoned action
A person’s subjective beliefs and his or her
beliefs about the consequences of that behavior.
A person’s normative beliefs, that is, how a
person’s view is shaped by the norms and
standards of his or her society and by whether
people important to him or her approve or
disapprove of the behavior.
15. Theory of reasoned action
In the context of peer education:
This concept is relevant because young people’s
attitudes are highly influenced by their perception
of what their peers do and think.
Also, young people may be motivated by the
expectations of respected peer educators.
16. Diffusion of innovations theory
Basic Assumption:
Social influence plays an important role in behavior
change. The role of opinion leaders in a community,
acting as agents for behavior change, is a key
element of this theory. Their influence on group
norms or customs is predominantly seen as a result
of person-to-person exchanges and discussions.
17. Diffusion of innovations theory
In the context of peer education:
The selected peer educators should be
trustworthy and credible opinion leaders within
the target group. The opinion leader’s role as
educator is especially important in informal peer
education, where the target audience is not
reached through formally planned activities, but
through everyday social contacts.
18. IMBR model
Basic Assumption:
A sustainable health behavior can be achieved if
a person receives or develops:
• the Information or the “What?”;
• the Motivation or the “Why?”;
• the Behavioral skills or the “How?”;
• the Resources the “Where?”;
needed for that behavior.
19. IMBR model
In the context of peer education:
This means that a programme that does not have
a comprehensive approach including all four
IMBR concepts probably lacks essential
components for reducing risky behavior and
promoting healthier lifestyles.
20. Social ecological model for health
promotion
Basic Assumption:
According to this model, behavior is viewed as
being determined by the following:
•Intrapersonal factors
•Interpersonal processes and primary groups
•Institutional factors
•Community factors
•Public policy
21. Social ecological model for health
promotion
In the context of peer education:
This means that it is important to recognize that
peer education is just one piece of the puzzle.
While peer education can be an important
intervention to affect intrapersonal and
interpersonal change, in order to be successful,
peer education activities must be coordinated
with other efforts designed to influence
institutions, communities, and public policy.
22. Social learning theory
Basic Assumption:
People learn through:
• Through direct experience.
• Indirectly, by observing and modeling the
behavior of others with whom the person
identifies.
• Through training that leads to confidence in
being able to carry out behavior (self-efficacy).
23. Social learning theory
In the context of peer education:
1. Тhis means that the inclusion of interactive
experiential learning activities is extremely
important, and
2. Peer educators can be influential teachers and
role models.
24. Theory of participatory education
Basic assumption:
The empowerment and full participation of the
people affected by a given problem is a key to
behavior change.
25. Theory of participatory education
In the context of peer education:
Many advocates of peer education believe that
the process of peers talking among themselves
and determining a course of action is a key to the
success of a peer education project.
