Meaning of a filed work | example of a filed work | Field experience
The
field experience is a required component for all students in Ebonyi State
University especially in department of human kinetic and health education.
Field
experience provides students in health education with practical experience in the
professional duties and responsibilities as a health education field experience
allows student to apply and incorporate skills and knowledge that they have
acquired during their didactics.
Therefore,
the primary purpose of the field experience is to help students learn how to apply
theory and principles to work situations and to develop and expand professional
skills and competencies essential to these tasks. It is intended to help
students explore areas of interest and affords the opportunity to become
acquainted with agencies, community groups, institution commonly engaged in
health education and behavioral change program. Hence field experience is a
valuable educational tool that gives an in-depth look inside an institution or
community.
In
all institutions or community there are many kinds of behaviour that promise
health, prevent illness and help in the cure and rehabilitation of sick people.
These kinds of behaviour should be identified and encouraged. In fact it is
usually the positive, healthy results of such behaviors that encourage people
to continue with them.
These
are also behaviour that is harmful to health, because of the unhealthy results
of such behaviour, people often give it up by themselves through health
education.
Therefore
health education uses a variety of methods to help people understand their own
situations and choose actions that will improve their health.
Health
education is incomplete unless it encourages involvement and choice by the
people themselves for example merely telling people to follow “good health behaviour”
is not health education.
Also,
in health education we do not blame people if they do not behave in healthy
way. Often unhealthy behaviour is not the fault of individual. In health
education we must work with families, community’s institutions and even
regional and national authorities to make sure that resources and support are
available to enable each individual to live a healthy life.
