Concrete Experiencers (CE)

 Repetitive  Like

experience-based learning  Empathetic  Make feeling-based judgements

Concrete Experiencers (CE) ATTRIBUTES;  Like

feedback & discussions  Do not like a theoretical approach  See each situation as unique  Lead with their hearts  They tend to ask “Why?”

Training Methods for CE  Games  Role

plays  Brainstorming  Interviews  Discussion  Hands-on exercises

Reflective Observers (RO)  Tentative  Observe

what’s going on

carefully  Use what works  Likely to get to the point  Use plans & timelines

Reflective Observers (RO) ATTRIBUTES;  Introverted  Prefer

lectures & observations  Use strategic thinking processes  Like practical application  They tend to ask “How does it work?”

Training Methods for RO  Lectures  Demonstrations  Videos  Visual

Aids  Modeling  Exhibits  Instruments

Abstract Conceptualizers (AC)  Analytical  Use

logic  Think in sequence  Pay attention to details  Like certainty

Abstract Conceptualizers (AC) ATTRIBUTES;  Oriented

towards symbols &

ideas  Authority-oriented  Prefer impersonal learning  Dislike activities  They tend to ask “ What?”

Training methods for AC  Lectures  Case

studies  Reading  Journaling  Visualization  Programmed instruction  Symbolic art

Information is processed data Information technology helps to collect, analyse, summarise and present such data The most important technology tools in comtemporary times are COMPUTERS, telecommunication and wireless technology like the INTERNET, as well as the electronic media. Recent Advances in Biotechnology simply

COMPUTERS Invented about half a century ago  Have undergone tremendous improvements in –aesthetics, power & miniaturization  Components include; -Input Devices (Keyboards, mouse, joystick, Optical scanners etc) -Central Processing Unit -Output Devices ( Video display unit or screen, Printers, etc) -Communication Devices (modems, infra 

Recent Advances in Reproductive Health Health Promotion Activities

-Public Health Education through the Electronic Media about Health Promoting Practices -Creation of Web-Sites that provide Information Promoting Reproductive Health in the Community  Prevention of Disease -Creation of Databases on Health Status in the Community -Tracking of Patients with Pre-Clinical Disease States -Exchange of Information between Health Professionals working on Disease Prevention.  Caring for Patients

Training of Health Professionals -Educational Videos and Compact Discs -Creation of Websites for Continuing Medical Education of Healthcare Professionals -Access to Published Medical Literature -Closed-Circuit Television for Training in Special Skills  Further Research -Information derived from collected data helps to lay the foundations for the design of additional studies to un-ravel new information and knowledge about specific disease states and other 
