Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Population health has recently grown from a series of loosely connected critiques of twentieth-century public health and medicine into a theoretical framework with a corresponding field of research—population health science. Its approach is to promote the public’s health through improving everyday human life: afford-able nutritious food clean air safe places where children can play living wages etc. It recognizes that addressing contemporary health challenges such as the prevalence of type 2 diabetes will take much more than good hospitals and public health departments. Blending philosophy of science/medicine public health ethics and history this book offers a framework that explains analyses and largely endorses the features that define this relatively new field. Presenting a philosophical perspective Valles helps to clarify what these features are and why they matter including: searching for health’s upstream causes in social life embracing a professional commitment to studying and ameliorating the staggering health inequities in and between populations; and reforming scientific practices to foster humility and respect among the many scientists and non- scientists who must work collaboratively to promote health. Featuring illustrative case studies from around the globe at the end of all main chapters this radical monograph is written to be accessible to all scholars and advanced students who have an interest in health—from public health students to professional philosophers. | Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

This book is a step-by-step guide for improving student learning in higher education. The authors argue that a fundamental obstacle to improvement is that higher educators administrators and assessment professionals do not know how to improve student learning at scale. By this they mean improvement efforts that span an entire program affecting all affiliated students. The authors found that faculty and administrators particularly struggle to conceptualize and implement multi-section multi-course improvement efforts. It is unsurprising that ambitious wide-reaching improvement efforts like these would pose difficulty in their organization and implementation. This is precisely the problem the authors address. The book provides practical strategies for learning improvement enabling faculty to collaborate and integrating leadership social dynamics curriculum pedagogy assessment and faculty development. In Chapter 2 the authors tell a program-level improvement story from the perspective of a faculty member. Chapter 3 inverts Chapter 2. Beginning from the re-assess stage the authors work their way back to the individual faculty member first pondering whether she can do something to impact students’ skills. They peel back each layer of the process and imagine how learning improvement efforts might be thwarted at each stage. Chapters 4 through 9 dig deeper into the learning improvement steps introduced in Chapters 2 and 3. Each chapter provides strategies to help higher educators climb each step successfully. Chapter 10 paints a picture of what higher education could look like in 2041 if learning improvement were embraced. And finally Chapter 11 describes what you can do to support the movement. | Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education
