Teaching methods

Opintojakson toteutus sisältää vuorovaikutteisia webinaareja, yksilöllisesti ja parin kanssa suoritettavia webinaarien välitehtäviä, itsenäistä teoriaan perehtymistä opintojakson materiaalien pohjalta, sekä aidolle asiakkaalle toteutettu liikuntaneuvonnan käytännön tehtävä. Lisäksi osa opintojaksosta suoritetaan Mooc-toteutuksena.

Webinaareihin valmistaudut perehtymällä opintojakson materiaaleihin ja tekemällä webinaarien välitehtävät. Webinaareissa ja välitehtävissä opit tunnistamaan liikuntaneuvonnan palvelupolut ja laadukkaan liikuntaneuvonnan prosessin ja arvioinnin osana moniammatillista liikuntaneuvontaa sekä syvennät omaa ammatillista ydinosaamista. Lisäksi perehdyt liikuntaneuvonnan menetelmiin ja mittareihin.

Liikuntaneuvonnan käytännön tehtävässä harjoittelet asiakkaan kohtaamista ja liikkumiseen motivointia sekä hyödynnät opintojakson aiemmissa osioissa saamaasi tietoa oman ammattialasi näkökulmasta. Käytännön tehtävän teet yksilöllisesti tai parin kanssa.

Mooc toteutuksessa perehdyt liikuntaneuvonnan valtakunnallisiin suosituksiin ja muihin ohjeistuksiin.
