Week 2: Introduction HP practice
|
Preparation for Week #2
|
1. Construct a visual representation (“mind map”) that represents your own understanding of the meaning and functioning of “health promotion practice”:
Mind maps can take many forms, for example, “concept maps, “logic models,” “conceptual frameworks”—but they all attempt to show how a person understands an issue/problem, how one might respond to an issue/problem, etc.. There are a large number of software packages designed to help in creating such mind maps, concept maps, logic models etc..
Here, you will find links to (limited free) mind-mapping software on the lower part of the right-hand navigation bar of this web-page. However, effective mind-mapping does not require computer software.
For concept mapping see:
For limited-time free trials of other various mind-mapping software: see Google for other free Mind-map software, some of which is open-source
FOR LOGIC MODELS: My favourite software for developing logic models is MS Visio (available from U of T Information Commons for $41.00)—I could not live without this; MS Visio includes “mind-mapping” features
2. Prepare to answer the questions:
a. What factors influence your professional decisions?
b. How might these factors differ from the factors that influence your decisions regarding other parts of your life?
c. How might a good planning framework help you in your decision-making?
d. How might a conceptual framework or logic model help you in your decision-making?
e. What might a good decision-making framework look like?
