Assignment task: Develop a step-by-step plan to change a specific health behavior of your choice (a.g. smoking, obesity, healthier nutrition for people with diabetes, lack of exercise for cardiac patients, or some other health problem). In your program, address the elements of three fundamental questions
1. What are effective ways to learn new information or change attitudes and behaviors in healthcare?
2. How can people be motivated to learn, and which kinds of experiences facilitate learning?
3. What are effective ways to teach so that information and skills will be remembered rather than forgotten and will transfer correctly outside the immediate learning situation? Effective ways to change health behaviors, ways to motivate program participants, experiences that might encourage learning, and teaching so that information and skills will be remembered and transferred outside the classroom.
