Abstract

Project objectives:

  • To equip the recruited postgraduate students with the skills to develop and prepare appropriate teaching materials in a Master course;
  • To enhance the recruited students’ self-development and support the provision of quality teaching;
  • To develop micro-modules that will enhance Master students’ understanding of South Asian culture and raise awareness of areas of concern during the provision of care.

Activities, process and outcomes:

  • The recruited postgraduate students will take the lead and cooperate with one another to develop micro-modules involving scenarios that cover common cultural issues and culturally sensitive measures that could be adopted;
  • The Master students of the course will watch the video clips before attending the lecture and will be asked to apply the knowledge gained to the provided health promotion examples and to identify the culturally sensitive issues and measures;
  • The Master students’ cultural sensitivity and satisfaction will be assessed after using the micro-modules.

Dissemination and sustainability:

  • The teaching materials will be reused for the same course in the future.
  • The recruited postgraduate students’ learning experiences during the development of teaching materials and engagement in teaching will be shared at a local or international conference.
