Students (FMS, HASS, SAGE) Older people (Exbex consultation group) ◦ Ageing map and gap analysis ◦ Student learning needs analysis – questionnaire and focus groups ◦ Draft and refine curriculum ◦ Design pilot
Keen interest in health and biology of ageing and ageing around the world. 78% of students wanted lecture based learning. Disappointed with the small amount of people who saw contact with older people as a reason to do module. Happy with large amounts of people wanting to be involved with our pilot module.
New ideas for HASS module outline Students were excited to return to multi- discipline teaching Ways of teaching on the module Caution about contact with older people
Helped build on current FMS module ideas Eager to learn about theory behind biological ageing Would enjoy contact with older people on the module Interesting ideas about charities we could work with to help further build the module
