Authentic assignments are defined as assessments that allow students to complete activities similar to those in which individuals in the field are engaged. They assess student achievement while helping students understand standards and challenges of the field. In this article, we describe the use of authentic assignments and class activities in a graduate-level nutrition policy course at a public university in North Carolina and evaluate outcomes related to students’ knowledge, comfort, and confidence in engaging in nutrition policy-related activities. The course included a variety of authentic assignments and activities, including a group policy brief project, letter to a legislator, case studies, and an elevator pitch on a nutrition policy issue. During the fall of 2020, students enrolled in two sections of the course ( N = 72) were invited to complete a pre- and post-survey. Thirty-five students (49%) completed both surveys and were included in the analyses. There were significant increases in students’ comfort and confidence for engaging in nutrition policy-related activities. Students also appeared to have gained a better understanding of how they and/or their future profession are impacted by nutrition policy and how they and/or their future profession can play a role in nutrition policy. Authentic assignments may be helpful for preparing students to participate in the nutrition policy process.
真实作业的定义是让学生完成与该领域中的个人所从事的活动类似的评估。它们在评估学生成绩的同时,还能帮助学生理解该领域的标准和挑战。在本文中,我们介绍了在北卡罗来纳州一所公立大学的研究生营养政策课程中使用真实作业和课堂活动的情况,并对学生在参与营养政策相关活动时的知识、舒适度和自信心等相关成果进行了评估。该课程包括各种真实的作业和活动,包括小组政策简报项目、致立法者的信、案例研究和营养政策问题的电梯演讲。2020 年秋季,参加该课程两部分学习的学生(72 人)受邀完成了课前和课后调查。35 名学生(49%)完成了这两项调查,并被纳入分析。学生参与营养政策相关活动的舒适度和自信心都有明显提高。学生们似乎还更好地理解了营养政策对他们和/或他们未来的职业有何影响,以及他们和/或他们未来的职业如何在营养政策中发挥作用。真实的作业可能有助于学生为参与营养政策过程做好准备。

Society is on the heels of one of the largest public health crisis the world has experienced in over a century, the COVID-19 pandemic. Developing the next generation of adept public health researchers is paramount to protecting the world against future health threats and addressing legacy public health challenges. This article explores the transformative influence of research experience on education, presenting three major points: (1) students engaging in public health research is timely, (2) students can develop a variety of critical thinking skills and data-driven decision-making capabilities that prepare them for future careers, and (3) faculty and universities benefit from the collaboration and community that student research fosters. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, more students have been interested in a career in public health, with many students also eager to help address health disparities, a reality highlighted during the pandemic. This article puts forth the value of student engagement in public health research from the student and faculty member’s perspectives. The student lens includes the connection between research and developing greater public health interest, a sense of ethical responsibility, and an attitude of open-mindedness. The faculty lens considers the value of skill-building for students and the benefits of increased academic community-building, greater research productivity, and mutual learning potential for both students and faculty. The article includes specific recommendations for faculty to incorporate research into their student training. It concludes by advocating for institutional and community support to encourage student engagement in research and prepare the next generation of public health professionals and researchers.
一个多世纪以来,世界经历了最大的公共卫生危机之一--COVID-19 大流行,而我们的社会正处于这场危机之后。培养下一代优秀的公共卫生研究人员对于保护世界免受未来的健康威胁和应对遗留的公共卫生挑战至关重要。本文探讨了研究经验对教育的变革性影响,提出了三大要点:(1) 学生参与公共卫生研究恰逢其时;(2) 学生可以培养各种批判性思维能力和数据驱动决策能力,为未来的职业生涯做好准备;(3) 教师和大学从学生研究促进的合作和社区中受益。自 COVID-19 大流行以来,越来越多的学生对公共卫生事业感兴趣,许多学生还渴望帮助解决健康差距问题,这也是大流行期间凸显的现实问题。本文从学生和教师的角度阐述了学生参与公共卫生研究的价值。学生的视角包括研究与培养更大的公共卫生兴趣、道德责任感和开放态度之间的联系。教师的视角则考虑了学生技能培养的价值,以及学术团体建设、提高研究效率和师生相互学习潜力的益处。文章提出了教师将研究纳入学生培训的具体建议。文章最后倡导机构和社区提供支持,鼓励学生参与研究,培养下一代公共卫生专业人员和研究人员。

Community service-learning (CSL) is commonly featured in health promotion curriculum. Lauded for its pedagogical richness and transformative potential, CSL is also pedagogically messy and often experienced as a struggle. And yet, the content, contexts and conditions of that which students find disorienting in CSL have garnered little attention in the literature. In this qualitative, phenomenological study, we explore the “disorienting dilemma” as an understated concept in CSL. Our aim is to better understand the disorienting dilemma to “make CSL a smoother experience for everyone.” We draw upon reflections from 39 students enrolled in a full-year undergraduate health promotion CSL course. Using directed content analysis, we read and coded 390 reflections. In mapping the codes ( n = 2104), we found them to cluster around three domains: (i) aspects of the CSL learning experience that were most disorienting, (ii) course aspects that enabled students to navigate their disorientation, and (iii) how students relate their learning to the disorientation. Students often shared their emotional experience of CSL as a pedagogy, and that they struggled with the process of real program planning, and uncertainty with how they related to the community. Often, it was the practical, social, and relational content that students struggled with that morphed into support for students to navigate their disorientation. We found students to relate their disorientation to new self-learning, a changed and more collectivist criteria of success, and an altered sense of self in relation to community. We discuss theoretical and pedagogical implications of the disorienting dilemma.
社区服务学习是健康促进课程的重要内容。CSL因其教学的丰富性和变革潜力而受到称赞,但在教学上也很混乱,经常经历一场斗争。然而,学生在对外汉语学习中迷失方向的内容、语境和条件却很少得到文献的关注。在这个定性的、现象学的研究中,我们探讨了“迷失方向的困境”作为CSL中一个被低估的概念。我们的目标是更好地理解迷失方向的困境,“让CSL为每个人带来更顺畅的体验”。我们借鉴了39名参加了本科全年健康促进CSL课程的学生的思考。使用定向内容分析,我们阅读并编码了390个反思。在绘制这些代码(n = 2104)时,我们发现它们聚集在三个领域:(i)最容易迷失方向的CSL学习经验方面,(ii)使学生能够驾驭迷失方向的课程方面,以及(iii)学生如何将他们的学习与迷失方向联系起来。学生们经常分享他们作为一名教师的情感体验,以及他们在真正的项目规划过程中遇到的困难,以及他们如何与社区联系的不确定性。通常,学生们纠结的是实用的、社会的和关系的内容,这些内容变成了对学生们导航迷失方向的支持。我们发现,学生们将他们的迷失方向与新的自我学习、集体主义成功标准的改变以及与社区有关的自我意识的改变联系起来。我们讨论了迷失方向困境的理论和教学意义。

The complex health demands of society emphasize the need for future health professionals to gain a deeper understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH) and provide meaningful health outcomes. Seventeen undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a cross-listed public health elective course in Winter 2020 completed a remote application-based course project. This project was conducted to expand students’ comprehension of SDOH as underlying factors contributing to health disparities and inequities. It also sought to increase their awareness of tools and resources in the community to aid populations in overcoming determinants. Last, it aimed to provide them with experience applying population health concepts and enhancing their research skills. The course project utilized a real-world application approach as it consisted of students (1) developing a Detroit-focused community resource guide, (2) creating a related resource map, and (3) composing two manuscripts on the course project and learning experience. Students’ deliverables included a developed community resource guide and related interactive map and the construction of the manuscripts on the project and their learning experience, which was separated into two manuscripts. Students completed a journal reflection, which was used to assess their learning experience. Students’ journal reflections were examined using NVivo12 to identify the six themes in their learning experience. The project effectively met the course learning outcomes while aiding students in recognizing Detroit’s health disparities and the influence of SDOH. It also provided students with deliverables.
社会复杂的健康需求强调需要未来的卫生专业人员获得健康的社会决定因素(SDOH)有更深的了解,并提供有意义的健康结果。17名本科生和研究生参加了2020年冬季交叉列出的公共卫生选修课程,完成了一个基于远程应用的课程项目。本项目旨在扩大学生对SDOH作为导致健康差异和不平等的潜在因素的理解。它还试图提高他们对社区工具和资源的认识,以帮助人们克服决定因素。最后,旨在为他们提供应用人口健康概念的经验,提高他们的研究技能。该课程项目采用了现实世界的应用方法,因为它由学生组成(1)开发一个以底特律为重点的社区资源指南,(2)创建一个相关的资源地图,以及(3)撰写两份关于课程项目和学习经验的手稿。学生们的成果包括开发的社区资源指南和相关的互动地图,以及项目稿件的构建和他们的学习经验,分成两份稿件。学生们完成了一份日记反思,用来评估他们的学习经历。使用NVivo12检查学生的日记反思,以确定他们学习经历中的六个主题。该项目有效地实现了课程学习成果,同时帮助学生认识到底特律的健康差距和SDOH的影响。它还为学生提供了可交付成果。

Specifications Grading for Graduate Students: Motivated, Less Stressed, and Achieving in Public Health 研究生的规格评分:积极、压力小、在公共卫生方面有所成就

Specifications grading is an alternative approach designed to establish assessment criteria aligned with well-defined learning outcomes while giving students autonomy and choice with respect to their level of achievement in a course and focus on the act of learning instead of earning points. Degrees in public health are based on the development of discipline-specific competencies, making them prime candidates for a specifications grading design. This study presents the implementation process and evaluation of specifications grading applied to three graduate health promotion courses, including a comparison of final letter grade distribution as well as student and instructor perceptions of the grading scheme implementation. We hypothesized that although the grading scheme may take some adjustment by students, overall students would feel more control over their letter grade and therefore less stress. The process of revising requirements for assignments and maintaining alignment with competencies is discussed. There were no differences in the distribution of final letter grades between traditional points-based grading and specifications grading. However, students were overwhelmingly favorable toward the specifications grading scheme, with a majority reporting reduced stress, more flexibility, a clearer understanding of the learning objectives and grading standards, greater engagement with the course content, and the perception of greater control over final grades. Using a grading scheme based on displaying competencies is logical in the public health education context. This study supports the application of specifications grading for meeting student and instructor needs, and contributing to an equitable learning environment.
规范评分是另一种方法,旨在建立与明确定义的学习成果相一致的评估标准,同时给予学生自主和选择,尊重他们在课程中的成就水平,并关注学习行为而不是赚取分数。公共卫生学位是基于学科特定能力的发展,使他们成为规范分级设计的主要候选人。本研究提出了三个研究生健康促进课程的规范评分的实施过程和评估,包括最终字母评分分布的比较以及学生和教师对评分方案实施的看法。我们假设,尽管评分方案可能需要学生进行一些调整,但总体而言,学生对自己的字母分数有更多的控制,因此压力更小。讨论了修改任务要求和保持与胜任力一致的过程。在传统的基于点的评分和规范评分之间,最终字母评分的分布没有差异。然而,学生们压倒性地支持规范评分方案,大多数人表示压力减轻,更灵活,对学习目标和评分标准有更清晰的理解,对课程内容有更大的参与度,对最终成绩有更大的控制权。在公共卫生教育背景下,使用基于展示能力的评分方案是合乎逻辑的。本研究支持规范评分的应用,以满足学生和教师的需求,并促进公平的学习环境。

This study supports the application of specifications grading for meeting student and instructor needs, and contributing to an equitable learning environment.","PeriodicalId":29769,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy in Health Promotion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136192496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic created a shift from traditional face-to-face learning toward remote learning, resulting in students experiencing unforeseen challenges and benefits through participation in a non-traditional mode of education. Little is known regarding the impact that a shift to remote learning may have had on the learning experiences and the career goals of Master of Public Health (MPH) students. A qualitative study was conducted among a convenience sample of MPH students in the US from January to April 2021. The primary aims were (1) to describe salient challenges or benefits of learning that persisted throughout a semester of remote learning and (2) to describe how being in graduate school during the pandemic impacted students' career goals in public health. A secondary aim was to describe students' general feelings regarding their public health education, given their lived experience of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study findings demonstrated that MPH students had mixed perceptions of how a shift to remote learning during a public health crisis impacted their learning experiences and career goals in public health over one semester. Understanding students' responses can guide public health instructors to best prepare trainees to join the workforce during ongoing and future unforeseen public health crises that continue or have the potential to disrupt learning modalities.

持续的COVID-19大流行造成了从传统面对面学习向远程学习的转变,使学生通过参与非传统教育模式体验到意想不到的挑战和益处。对于转向远程学习可能对公共卫生硕士学生的学习经历和职业目标产生的影响,人们知之甚少。本研究于2021年1月至4月在美国公共卫生硕士学生中进行了一项定性研究。主要目的是(1)描述在整个学期的远程学习中持续存在的学习的突出挑战或好处,(2)描述在大流行期间在研究生院如何影响学生在公共卫生领域的职业目标。第二个目的是描述学生对公共卫生教育的总体感受,考虑到他们在COVID-19大流行期间远程学习的亲身经历。研究结果表明,公共卫生硕士学生对公共卫生危机期间转向远程学习如何影响他们一个学期的学习经历和公共卫生职业目标的看法不一。了解学生的反应可以指导公共卫生教员为受训者在持续或有可能破坏学习模式的当前和未来不可预见的公共卫生危机期间加入劳动力队伍做好最好的准备。
