This course introduces students to deep community engagement using the constructivist theory of communication which is applied in engaging with aging elderly, some of whom may have dementia and related elderly malaise, at St. Luke’s Eldercare and Yishun Community Hospital.
Students are required to apply the constructivist’s four elements of functional communication competence, in the context of the Humanitude care methodology, prioritising inter-generational engagement. Using reciprocal engagement and learning relationship complemented with constructivist communication strategies, students develop awareness of the communities’ needs from the perspective of individual’s agency. Assessments include portfolio, service participation, attitude, and contributions. |
