An Introduction to Concepts of Nutrition: Facilitator's Handbook A Facilitated Coursebook Designed for Foundation and Community Learning (original) (raw)

The principles of both nutrition and the methods applied to provide new knowledge and understanding, in this programme are holistic. This means that I have considered the psychological, social, emotional and affective context in which people nourish themselves and others in their family and surroundings. The nature of facilitated learning programmes is that participants are encouraged to make their own decisions and to help one another as a group. The nature of their participation is for them to gain the knowledge, understanding and skills that they feel can benefit them the most. As the facilitator you will help the participants to make decisions that are appropriate to their own circumstances. All the learning sessions are of equal length and will be conducted in two parts with most of the new knowledge being given in the first half of the session, whilst you are fresh. The facilitator will lead the sessions and help the participants as a group with the learning together activities and the discussions in the second part of each session. All the notes are provided for you in this workbook as are the quick quizzes, learning together activities and discussion topics. Creating this programme has been an interesting and enjoyable experience. It is my hope that the result is an equally interesting and enjoyable venture into the world of nutrition for you as a facilitator of this programme.
