Reflective
Exercise
Linking Theory to Practice
Think about
your learning, consider these questions and compare your thoughts
now with those you described in your Journal when you completed
the Reflective Exercise at the beginning
of this module.
Think of a time
when you tried to create change around a health-related issue. This
could involve persuading a friend or family member to adopt a healthy
behaviour (e.g., quit smoking), getting your organization or workplace
to take action on a health related issue (e.g., institute a family-friendly
flex time policy), or advocating for a health-related change in
your community (e.g., clean up an environmental hazard).
Points to
Ponder
Based on your experience, how was your change strategy similar
to the theories discussed in this module? How did it differ from
the theories?
If you were successful
in bringing about the change, what seemed to work? Can you link
your success to any of the theories presented in this module?
What, if anything,
would you have done differently? Which of the theories presented
in this module could have helped you to bring about your desired
change?
