Module Indicative Content
The content can generally be divided into three areas, knowledge, skills and attitudes.
The knowledge elements of the module include the theories around anti discriminatory practice related to the DH sexual health standards. It looks at group dynamics and the theories of Schutz, Kolb and Tuckman. We incorporate work around self reflection and awareness using Gibbs model of reflection and Johari's Window. We use a framework called ADDIE (Assessment, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) to introduce the concept of designing a training course. This framework includes writing needs assessments, developing aims and outcomes, reviewing training methodologies and evaluating courses.
The skills elements of this module include what is appropriate in groups, how to maintain your personal boundaries in sessions, creating working agreements with groups and talking about disclosure. This module looks at facilitation skills, what good facilitation means, how to create a conducive learning environment and how to respond to challenges from participants, or challenging participants. The skills of giving and receiving useful feedback are looked as, as it self reflection and awareness of ones self as a trainer. The module is set within a reflective framework and students are required to practice the skills of reflection throughout the course work.
The attitudes element of this module include looking at society values and where the potential participants in a group may be coming from. The participants own values and attitudes are explored in a safe environment with an exploration of how these may impact upon training. Participants have the opportunity to address the essential elements of anti discriminatory practice and how this relates to training in sexual health.
The module also includes a study skills session to help participants complete their written assignment.
