Status of Policies on HIV/AIDS: Responses of Nebraska Postsecondary Institutions with Health Occupations Programs

This study was conducted to assess the status of HIV/AIDS policies in postsecondary health occupations programs in Nebraska. The purposes of the study were to determine which postsecondary health occupations education programs had policies adequate to address HIV/AIDS, and to review a copy of the program’s policies for agreement with a set of criteria developed from those recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and the American College Health Association. Results revealed that the institutions’ policies submitted for review did not meet the criteria developed for the study

Educational Competencies for Health Occupations Educators

Health occupations teachers are facing many challenges which necessitate development of new competencies if their students are to be prepared for a changing health care delivery system. A study was conducted in Nebraska during 1987-88 with a two-fold purpose: (a) to identify the competencies needed by health occupations teachers as they perceived them, and (b) to compare these results with a study of health occupations teachers conducted seven years earlier. Respondents identified utilizing microcomputers in teaching as a top priority. A review of literature indicated that instruments being used to identify educational needs of health occupations teachers contain competencies that are basic in education and are not reflecting competencies needed to meeting the challenges of the changing workplace in health care settings. Recommendations are made for development of questionnaires that assess health occupations teachers’ competencies needed in the health care delivery system

Helping Students Learn and Learn How to Learn in the Context of Health Occupations Instruction

Students are rarely taught how to learn. They are taught content such as science and math but rarely how to learn such content. In health occupations, as in all areas, instructors can help students learn by embedding strategy instruction within their courses. To do so, instructors must first understand a few learning principles. With these principles, instructors can design instruction consistent with the ways learners should learn. Using these learner-compatible methods, instructors can teach students how to learn. This instruction is accomplished by overtly modeling learner strategies, describing their benefit, and providing students with opportunities to practice the strategies across settings. Producing learners who can learn is an important part of preparing health occupations students to meet the expectations and demands awaiting them as health occupations providers
