Would we also suggest it should be repeated yearly? Just a shorter version of the initial...a refresher. I think the longterm effect would be greater if it's annually assessed...what do you think?

If we base our teaching plan on SJAs and adjust and add human bio stuff to it, I can't see why we couldn't do that as long as we reference where we got it from.

Authentic learning is experiential learning located in settings that reflect complex real world problems. It is characterized by:

Situated learning contexts within which the application of knowledge and skills may be demonstrated

Tasks with ill defined real world problems

Sustained investigation (i.e., time and effort) to arrive at solutions

Scenarios with multiple roles and perspectives and where expert performances and processes are modeled (i.e., making tacit knowledge explicit)

Collaborative activities to produce real world 'products' or 'performances'

Reflective practice (as a basis for professional learning)

Scaffolding and coaching at critical times. Assessment of authentic learning should be seamlessly integrated with a learning activity that is practical, realistic and challenging.

Benefits of authentic learning experiences

Educational research has shown that authentic learning experiences give learners the capacity to turn information into useful transferable knowledge and to build professional identity. By situating knowledge within relevant contexts learning is enhanced.

Authentic learning experiences:

Encourage learners to assimilate and connect knowledge that is unfamiliar

Expose learners to different settings, activities and perspectives

Enhance transferability and application of theoretical knowledge to the ‘real world’

Create opportunities for learners to collaborate, produce polished products and to practice generic (e.g., problem solving) and professional skills

Build capacity to exercise professional judgments (in a ‘safe’ environment) and attachment to professional knowledge and principles.

Authentic learning potentially builds learners' capacity in all four domains of learning: cognitive, affective, psychomotor and conative and is therefore a useful learning approach to preparing students for work in the 21st century.

"my kids had all done basic life support, they cover it lightly at school but made them do the external course anyway.. unfortunately we did have to use our learnt skills at home.. after talking to my then 17yr old son after he assisted me to resuscitate his dad, he said that knowing about cpr before that event help him stay calm and not freak out.. you never know when you are going to need these skills, and sometimes only get one chance.. I'd say yes it should be taught in schools yearly." (Nurse)

"Are you serious ? Learn how to save a life as opposed to what???? Biology of fruitflies??. It would be the most valuable lesson they get in school. It should have been mandatory years ago." (From one of our Medical consultants)

Background: Why first aid in high school? Back up with journals and Research? Interviews. Goals?
Objectives: To develop curriculum incorporated into yr 9 human bio. How? Constraints? Goals?
Methods: Describe our curriculum process. Curriculum category? Why?
Results: Evaluate the curriculum process. Would we be able to achieve our goal/s?
Conclusion: What have we learnt from the process? Could anything been done differently?

# data[].attributes.body
-Rationale, describing context and purpose. Why first aid? Benefits? Expected outcomes?

-Describe process, which curriculum model and why.

-Justify selection of the content, assessment and learning opportunities. Why year 9? Why human bio?

-Constraints, external/internal. Cost? Legal issues? Lack of teacher participation?

-Choose a appropriate form to present curriculum

-How will the curriculum be evaluated? Need to explain and justify the design. Not to assess success of students, but that of the curriculum

-Conclusion. What have we learned? Could we had used another design? Any regrets?

No need for certificate to do CPR legally. It goes under duty of care, i.e. if someone is unconscious and displays no sign of life you can hardly make it worse...

First aid training for high school children would benefit the community, and thew selves as well. i found an article where they found that children with first aid training tend to do display less risky behaviour.

1. How do we get into into year 10 if HB isn't taught in year 10 general science?
2. What content in HB subject is relevant to a HB redesign? (should we work backwards by looking at the recruits program content and create HB substrand from this?)
3. Does the First Aid Recruits process lead to students attaining accreditation?

General public, parents, teachers, nurses, patient care assistants, psych liaisons all support the redesign.

1.whether students go on and complete a formal first aid certificate
2. whether Human Biology grades improve (e.g. average for a particular school for HB). Because one of the ways we are trying to sell this is that "stdents will combine practical hands on experience with theoretical knowledge learnt in HB.

I think year 10.
1. Before the stress of WACE begins!
2. Helps with subject selection for Yr 11 and 12
3. Not restricted by having to teach all of the WACE content
