Plans for COP21 in Paris - December 2015 PKO - 'pyrexia of known origin' |
Amid several ongoing challenges I have been reading and writing on threshold concepts, Hodges model and Technology Enhanced Learning with 1800 words thus far. At the residential in April we had a talk on publishing so that is the aim.
The following reference -
Knapp, M., Brower, S., 2014. The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education: Implications for Health Sciences Librarianship. Medical Reference Services Quarterly 33, 460–468. doi:10.1080/02763869.2014.957098
- includes an interesting table, doubly so since the framework concerns information literacy. In the table below I have reversed the columns. The full framework documentation also provides more comprehensive references.

Six Threshold Concepts Anchoring the New

The 2000 standards outlined five abilities an information literate student will possess.
The information literate student...1 1. Determines the nature and extent of the information needed, 2. Accesses needed information effectively and efficiently, 3. Evaluates information and its sources critically and incorporates selected information into his or her knowledge base and value system, 4. Uses information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose, individually or as a member of a group, and 5. Understands many of the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information and accesses and uses information ethically and legally |
Threshold concepts are defined as ‘‘those ideas in any discipline that are passageways or portals to enlarged understanding or ways of thinking
and practicing within that discipline.’’3 1. Scholarship is a conversation, 2. Research as inquiry, 3. Authority is contextual and constructed, 4. Format as a process, 5. Searching as exploration, and 6. Information has value |
"... They tell us that temperatures are still unbearable, that it’s consistently scorching hot. And it’s getting worse as the weather heats up. Workers are fainting every day. To cope, they use a traditional technique called “coining”, where they scratch their skin with coins to bring blood to the surface of the skin. It’s meant to relieve the stress and fatigue caused by the heat. ..."

May 7, 2015 - Can a true, robust global health framework be created to help prevent tragedies like Ebola while at the same time allow countries to meet everyday health needs?
Georgetown University global health and law experts say it can be done, and in a special issue of “The Lancet” focusing on global health security, they propose specific priorities to transform a fragmented health system into a “purposeful, organized” framework with national health systems at its foundation and an empowered World Health Organization at its apex.
“The Ebola epidemic in west Africa raised the critical question of who is in charge,” says Lawrence O. Gostin, JD (http://www.law.georgetown.edu/oneillinstitute/faculty/Lawrence-Gostin.cfm) , faculty director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law (...) at Georgetown University Law Center (http://www.law.georgetown.edu/) . He and his O’Neill Institute colleague, Eric A. Friedman, JD (...) , published an analysis of global health security today in The Lancet (“A retrospective and prospective analysis of the west African Ebola virus disease epidemic: robust national health systems at the foundation and an empowered WHO at the apex.” (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(15)60644-4/fulltext) )
“The world is ill-prepared for the next epidemic,” Gostin says. “The need for advance funding, planning and coordination from the national health system up to WHO is at the heart of preparedness, not only for epidemic disease, but also naturally occurring disasters such as the crisis precipitated by the Nepal earthquake.”
In their review, Gostin and Friedman offer a retrospective analysis of the recent Ebola outbreak and the “profound harms posed by fragile national health systems.”
In creating a new framework, the authors say, “The scope of the reforms should address failures in the Ebola response, and entrenched weaknesses that enabled the epidemic to reach its heights.”
They propose a new global health framework that has national health systems as its foundation and an empowered WHO as the “global health leader envisaged at its creation.”
To reach the goal of having an empowered WHO to lead a global health framework, Gostin and Friedman outline priorities for reform:
| Concepts - Understanding Global Health Conceptual Framework, Beliefs, Belief systems, Education, Individual Action Critical Thinking Access to Health Information Impact of disease/disaster on survivors Psychological health needs | Pre-vent Ebola..., Epidemic - Pandemic, Natural disasters Emergency response, Critical Action Timeliness - Surveillance, Readiness, (National-) capacity, Physical health needs, Health systems, (Infra)Structures, Technical, Operational, Processes, Coordination, Mobilisation Scales: Local, Regional, National, Global |
| Social Empowerment, Engagement Poverty Communities Critical Communications Concordance Local Leadership, Cooperation Behaviour of groups amid Fear / Uncertainty Socio-Technical Community-Social-Urban... Informatics | Pre-empt UN, World Bank, WHO, NGOs, Reform, Policy, Standards Rights-Based Universal Health Global Health Framework Funding, Law, Legislation Priorities, Compliance, 'HQ' Critical Governance & Assurance Civil Society, Citizenry |
