This program is a non-medical home care program that aids low-income seniors, adults and children with disabilities. This service pays for someone to go out to the client’s home and help with “chores.” There is also the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) that helps agencies plan, develop, and coordinate services for older adults 60 years of age or older. The AAA gets about 2 million dollars in grants and gives those funds to local non-profit agencies. The AAA funds more than a handful of services including; outreach, medals, legal services, family caregiver support and many more.
So the The focus of my education will be to utilize theories on adult learning and methods of long-term retention within the context of their preferred communication and learning styles. Much like the University of Minnesota utilizes voice-over PowerPoints and reading assignments to engage multiple senses and provide a framework for learning, I will provide various sources of content and structure according to cognitive and constructionist learning theories (10x10 with University). I will package my content in modules spread over several weeks, like the 10x10 program, in order to give the students time to fully absorb the information and begin to apply it to their work. Leading into the classes I will provide them with a big picture overview and open a discussion on the importance of learning this material in order to increase buy-in and engagement. I believe that by using cognitive and constructionist theories to maximize LTM as well as theories on adult learning and the Shannon-Weaver communication model, I can deliver exceptional informatics education to my
With the undeniable truth, everyone must age and grow older. Although this is a natural process of life, not everyone is accepting of this. At this age, being an older adult you face difficulties such as aging, sexuality, relationship dynamics and having to face reality that you are not in your prime as you once were. Heart attacks, strokes, and other ailments are examples of this. However, just as there younger counterparts they still able to do somethings they were able to do in their earlier stages.
During the mid-1800s, the South, a region of solely one industry, found itself isolated from the rest of the U.S. Naturally, in respect to their primarily industry, instead of taking part in the quickly expanding rail network in America going on during this age, the South advanced as market and transportation centers instead. In addition, an other isolation factor was the major barrier of the Appalachian Mountains, which presented difficulties in attempts to building railroad lines. Lew presents this as one of the factors which tribute to the high degree of isolation and lower development level in the deep
Part B: Annotated Bibliography Article One: Why do hospitalized older adults take risks that may lead to falls? A study commenced by Terry. P.Haines recruited from Southern Health Hospital facilities, Victoria, Australia in 2009 between the months of March and June after receiving ethical approval from the Southern Health Human Research committee. The study aimed to identify factors and pathways explaining as why older adults take risks that may lead to falls in hospitalized setting.
A school-based activity which allowed me to spend time with the elderly,
These are the type of skills our students must develop and need to become contributing parts of our society where they will thrive on the collaboration and learning from others, with the use of technology our 21st-century learners will be able to network with all ages.
Comprehension alone of adult learning theories does not allow for the synthesis and reflection needed to apply the theories to real educational situations. As a practitioner, it is important to correctly apply theories of adult learning to instructional strategies to increase the learner’s success and the transfer of knowledge. Awareness of one’s cognitive development and that of the learners is an essential element to developing instruction that is relevant and provides a safe environment where learning can occur. This team learning exercise aided my understanding of how the theoretical foundations of adult education provide a framework for instructors to draw from to identify root causes that lead to learning deficits, and identify and implement solutions by application of these
According to Dr. Schweingruber’s Sociology 134 lecture, “emerging adulthood is a period of life for young people in the united states and other industrialized societies, lasting from the late teens through the mid-to late twenties.” Some qualities of emerging adulthood are identity exploration, instability, self-focused, a feeling of in-between, and possibilities. Emerging adulthood relates to contemporary life in the way that it is a new term that has been developed. One way in which it relates is because of the growth of higher education because of the growth and the need to have a higher education to support yourself and a family one day more people are getting higher degrees which takes time, where in the past most people would be using
Working as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I’ve been able to meet lots of patients and residents who dwell within the Late Adulthood stage of development. I decided to interview and speak with one of my facility’s residents who was a white, middle class, 81 year old male. This man showed signs of the late adulthood development stage, such as showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, having optimism about his life as describe in Activity Theory, and a gradual change in health that resulted in increased manifestations of arthritis. These factors demonstrated by the resident are a clear indication of what developmental stage he is in, and can help others, including myself, understand what else he could begin to experience in the next phases of his
In that time that the adult attends the program, they can experience activities inside/outside of the center (cooking, working, trips, apple picking, knitting, etc.), as well as attend academic classes to help develop
As adolescences enter adulthood, they enter a long transitional period, often known as “emerging adult”. This transitional period takes place over a range of 18 to 25 years old (Santrock, 2013). At this stage, emerging adults are still in exploration in the various aspect of life such as the career path they are interested in, defining their identities and a style of living they would want to adopt. Thus, adolescences who are in transition will be caught with many intense changes and will experience major life events that are all of great importance.
Unit 02 Principles of Personal Development in Adult Social Care Settings. 1.1 Explain what reflective practice is Reflection is the personal examination of your own thoughts and actions, it is about thinking things over. Reflection is an important human activity in which people recapture their experience, think about it, mull over and evaluate it. When working in an adult care setting this means being conscious about how you interact with colleagues, your clients and the environment. It means thinking about how you could have done something differently, what you did well, what you could have done better, how could you improve what you did.
CHANGING CARE NEEDS THROUGH LIFE STAGES The aim of this assignment is to discuss in general the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of a person in late adulthood. This will be completed by going through each heading and describing the different elements of each stage. Following that, I will compare *the norm* with a lady called Margaret.
Late Adulthood is the stage of the human life cycle where an individual nears the end of their life. The life expectancy in the United States has slowly increased over the years therefore allowed many to further analyze the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development during late adulthood. The stage of late adulthood has been emphasized by ageism and the stereotypical "old" person but, will be further educated by the normative development of the life cycle of late adulthood. For the “old” experience dramatic changes in their development as they face loss, death, and illness.
