Task description:
Identify an area of specialization in the health setting which interests you. Using research, identify a gap in education which has an impact on outcomes. Write a proposal for an education tool to help close this gap.
Criterion 1:
Identifies an area of specialty within the health setting 50 words 6%
The specialty area you choose should be specific rather than general. E.g. Rather than using the term ‘mental health’ it is better to focus more specifically and use terms such as ‘drug and alcohol’ or ‘depressive disorders’, etc. Only a very brief description is needed here.
Criterion 2:
Relevant research of a high level is used to identify an educational gap within this specialty area 300-400 words 15%
This is your reference list. Please use Harvard style referencing to make your reference list.
Criterion 3:
Analysis of impact of educational gap undertaken 200-300 words 25%
The educational gap should be identified here. Some analysis should be undertaken regarding the implications of this gap. What is the relevance? How does it affect health and outcomes? It is important to use the evidence from the research you have identified in this section to support your points and arguments.
Criterion 4:
Target audience for education tool clearly identified 100 words 14%
This needs to be specific. You should identify if consumers or practitioners are being targeted. Is the tool targeting carers or the person with the condition? Are the targets specialist nurses within an area? Some explanation should be given as to why this group is the target audience.
Criterion 5:
Provides clear details of proposed education tool 250 words 30%
The education tool you plan to develop should be explained in a clear, detailed and specific way. Your proposal can be based on an education tool of your choice: e.g. poster, pamphlet, short power point, short video, written description of a one-on-one teaching session, etc. This does not need to match your final product precisely as you may be forced to make adjustments as you actually develop the tool but should be used as a guideline by you.
