Inter-professional Education and Practice in Dementia Care

This subject considers the knowledge and skills required to facilitate engaging learning experiences within applied learning settings. In the subject, you will examine the theoretical underpinnings of learner and teacher engagement in a range of contexts, including face-to-face and online, and develop and evaluate techniques aimed at increasing levels of engagement. Through practical assessment tasks, you will develop your facilitation skills and explore ways to increase participation of learners. In this subject, you will consider how educators can foster an environment where learners become increasingly responsible and self-directed in their own applied learning setting.This subject suits individuals with some experience in working with learners (e.g. practicing teachers, trainers, classroom aides, or industry people who have worked with apprentices) who are interested in exploring issues of student disengagement, drawing on theories of how and why students might be engaged and then trialing new facilitation approaches that target student engagement.Note: The second assessment task requires facilitation of a session with a class or small group of learners, so you will need to have access to a group to do this.

Facilitating Engaging Learning Experiences

This subject introduces students to the concepts of inter-professional education, learning and practice to facilitate optimum care for persons with dementia and their families. The theoretical and practical importance of interprofessional practice will be explored, in part through a consideration of the principles of interprofessional education. Theoretical knowledge and practical skills in collaborative teamwork, leadership, interprofessional collaboration, communication and conflict management will be developed and supported by team and groupwork activities. Group work activities will provide students with an opportunity to reflect upon their own strengths as team members and to identify areas where improvement is required in their involvement in interprofessional and collaborative practice.
