Acknowledgement of Country We respectfully acknowledge the Indigenous Elders, custodians, their descendants and kin of this land past and present.

Syllabus Analyse the interactions between the sociological (social, cultural, economic and political) and biomedical influences on food and nutrient intakes for a range of lifecycle and other groups in society. Design and perform facilitated adult nutrition education presentation.

Introduction

Congratulations on reaching the 3rd year units for the BSc(Nutrition) or 4th year units for BSc(HP)/BSc(Nut).  Many of you will have enrolled in either of these degrees because you want to seek employment in positions where you will advise or educate the general public about the exciting, but often confusing area of nutrition. 

Nutrition Sociology and Education is designed to start building your skills in critical reading, designing and delivering nutrition education presentations and using reflective practice to explore why people eat the foods they do and the barriers to healthy eating. The aim of this unit is to introduce students to the study of sociology as applied to food and nutrition, how nature of society and other factors such as cultural and/or economics affect nutrition in sub-groups in our population.

Past eVALUate student comments reflect that this unit challenges you to step outside the lecture room.  However students also report the rewards from these experiences in this unit towards developing graduate attributes/professional competencies. Welcome the opportunity to develop your professional competencies this year. The more you are willing to experience about the sociological influences on food choices, the more effective you will become as a practitioner and the greater your satisfaction in your personal development as a nutritionist.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Critically analyse the effects of food system structures and operation on past and current dietary consumption

2 Apply social theory and nutrient requirements to eating practices within different communities and stages of the lifecycle

3 Construct effective nutrition education for adults using appropriate theoretical perspectives and biomedical data

4 Reflect on the personal development of nutrition educator competencies

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities This unit will consist of lectures covering the theoretical concepts that will encourage student reflection and discussion.  It is expected that students attend lecture and other learning activities having completed required reading/background and be prepared to contribute to discussion. 

LECTURES: A PDF outline of each weeks PowerPoint slides will be provided as pre-reading/background for lecture topics in Blackboard (Bb). It is expected the students will have accessed these slides before attending the lecture.  Lectures will emphasis practical situations and involve facilitated discussion.  This discussion will provide students with informal feedback on their learning.   Supporting materials will be provided in lectures such as practical nutrition education resources.  Where possible this additional teaching material will also be placed in Bb after the associated lecture/tutorial.  The lectures will be ilectured but these are intended as supplemental resources, and not as core or required resources. An ilecture is not the same as actually being in the class. ilectures will be made available in the following week for students who would like to revise concepts or were absent due to illness.

TUTORIALS: Standard tutorials, guest speaker workshops and field trips will be used to demonstrate the practical aspects of nutrition education and to expose students to a variety of sociological issues, potential workplaces and other nutrition and health professionals. Each student will be expected to contribute to group and class discussion during tutorials. Any notes or worksheets will be provided at the start of each tutorial session.

ASSESSMENTS: The assignments have been designed to encourage deeper learning expected at a graduating student level and give students an opportunity to be self-directed in their learning experiences and competency development.

QUESTIONS: Answers to student questions about unit lectures/tutorials and assessments will be placed on the discussion boards in Bb.  Please check this first to see if your question has been answered before emailing the unit coordinator.

Apply discipline knowledge Thinking skills (use analytical skills to solve problems)

Information skills (confidence to investigate new ideas)

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Reflection

The reflection portfolio will enable students to use critical thinking and information skills to document their progress in achieving competencies in a series of areas (graduate attributes), particularly tutorials and fieldtrips off campus. The portfolio is compiled by individuals using developmental and representative discussion and evidence and reflective practice. Samples of good reflective writing will be discussed and the assignment has been designed to be submitted in two parts so that feedback from part 1 can be used to improve part 2 if necessary. 

2. Report

Students will work in pairs to plan, implement and evaluate a nutrition education presentation to a community adult group on a range of general nutrition topics based on a needs assessment. This assignment will build and expand on your previous experiences in Fundamentals of Public Health Nutrition. Students will prepare a report outlining the planning and evaluation in addition to reflections on nutrition educator competency development.  Opportunities for presentations for community agencies will be advertised in the first half of semester and these are likely to be opportunities for healthy cooking and budgeting sessions, parent’s sessions on healthy eating for children/lunchboxes etc.  The assessment criteria will be available with a further description of the assignment in Week 1 tutorial.

3. Examination

The final exam will cover the learning outcomes from lectures, tutorials and the practical and include a mixture of short answer and discussion questions.  Sample questions will be provided for each topic in BB and discussed at the end of semester.

Pass requirements

Students must attempt all assessments and achieve a final mark of 50% or greater to pass the unit.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

The Application for Assessment Extension form can be found at the following link:

http://students.curtin.edu.au/administration/documents/Application_forAssessmentExtension.pdf

NO Application for Assessment Extension will be considered without supporting documentation (as per instructions on the form).

Applications for Assessment Extensions can be sent to:

Directly to the Unit Coordinator (for requests for up to 5 days extension)
