This week you will apply Kolb’s cycle to a specific assignment.
Choose 3 different people – they must vary in some feature – culture, generation, living area (urban vs rural), etc. Ask them to give you 3 words that describe a health care professional. Do not give them any hints – but feel free to provide examples of health care professionals such as nurses, respiratory therapists, counselors, etc.
Prepare a 10 minute video journal (make a video using utube or Kaltura discussing the below issues) of this assignment. Include the following:
Experience:
- Your preparation – how did you choose your 3 interviewees? What made you decide on them? What differences did you anticipate they might have in their answers?
- Where did you interview them each? How did they respond when told of the assignment? Do you feel they had positive or negative experiences with healthcare professionals or a mix of both?
- Did they struggle to find 3 words or did they have trouble with so few?
Reflection
- How did their responses differ? How did they differ from what you anticipated they might say?
Learn
- What did you learn from their responses? What conclusions can you draw from this assignment?
Plan to DO
- How did this change you and your future actions?
