摘要

体验式学习是本科公共卫生教育的一个重要方面。然而,关于在本科生公共卫生项目中实施体验式学习的文献有限。开设“公共卫生生物学”课程是为了通过多种体验式学习机会,更好地将人口层面的公共卫生概念与生物科学联系起来。该课程为学生提供了将人口健康和生物科学概念应用于自己和他人生活的机会。该课程包括几个体验式学习组成部分,在其任期内进行了调整,以增加对体验式学习的重视。自开课以来,三个核心体验组成部分一直是该课程的基础:(1)每周正念和冥想练习,(2)与本周健康状况相关的个人的嘉宾演讲,以及(3)参与可选的10天全食物植物性饮食干预。来自课程评估和饮食干预参与者调查的数据显示了对学生健康行为和态度的影响。38%的学生自我报告在学期末利用课外冥想来管理压力,所有参与饮食干预的学生都表示,他们将在干预结束时减少动物蛋白和乳制品的摄入。本文概述了课程结构,并详细介绍了用于促进学生积极尝试健康行为的体验式学习策略,提高学生对压力和饮食对健康结果影响的理解,并促进在未来的公共卫生职业中利用这些知识。

Biology in Public Health: Course-Based Experiential Learning Strategies to Promote Active Experimentation Among Undergraduate Public Health Students
Experiential learning is a critical aspect of undergraduate public health education. However, there is limited literature on the implementation of experiential learning in undergraduate public health programs. The course “Biology in Public Health” was developed to better link population-level public health concepts with the biological sciences through multiple experiential learning opportunities. The course provides students opportunities to apply concepts of population health and biological sciences to their own lives and the lives of others. The course includes several experiential learning components and over its tenure has been adapted to increase the emphasis on experiential learning. Three core experiential components that have been the basis for the class since its inception are: (1) weekly mindfulness and meditation practice, (2) guest presentations by individuals living with the week’s health condition, and (3) participation in an optional 10-day whole-food plant-based diet intervention. Data from course evaluations and surveys of diet intervention participants show impacts on students’ health behaviors and attitudes. Thirty-eight percent of students self-reported utilizing meditation outside of class to manage stress at the end of the semester, and all participants in the diet intervention stated that they would decrease their animal protein and dairy intake at the end of the intervention. This article provides an overview of the course structure and details the experiential learning strategies utilized to promote students’ active experimentation with health behaviors, improve student comprehension of the impact of stress and diet on health outcomes, and foster the utilization of this knowledge in their future public health careers.
