curriculum allows students to grow their
The Learning Problem
Many people today are overwhelmed by health
concerns and rely on health and cultural trends
to inform their lifestyle choices. It is difficult to
discern and feel confident about what is best for
oneself. Doctors only play a part of one’s
education on personal health and wellness. This
project proposes to create a constructivist
learning environment that allows the learner to
explore his or her personal health and develop
confidence to control it. Market trends in gyms
and personal training facilities are growing to
focus on the individual. Richmond Wellness is a
company that is seeking to make an impact in the
market by providing a new curriculum for their
clients.
Target Audience
People who are seeking a system to aid their
personal health goals. These people are not
disabled or in need of or in search of specific
medical attention. The services provided will be
at a cost therefore the target audience should
have resources to pay for this curriculum.
Moreover, the individual should have the ability
to make their own decisions and be able to act
on the choices they make independently of a
parent or guardian. Those who go through this
curriculum already have the motivation to better
their lifestyle and health and seek this
curriculum to be a catalyst to their pursuit at a
healthier life. No prior knowledge on health
education is necessary. However, the learner
should have access to family health history. The
learner may use prior knowledge in his or her
learning experience that may help in this
curriculum. Usually, this helps build interest in
learning and motivate the learner to reach the
goal.
General Knowledge Domain
This knowledge domain is health, specifically
personal health and wellness. This proposed

awareness about their personal health and the
ways he or she can positively, confidently and
actively control their personal health without
being a doctor or medical nutritionist.
Learning Outcomes
The learning outcomes for this curriculum are to
acquire the following skills in pursuit of the
mission to be in control of one’s health. The
learner will seek to:
 Set achievable goals
 Describe the functions of the main
systems of the body
 Research health issues effectively
 Make well-informed decisions about his
health
 Exercise for his body type with positive
results
 Stay accountable amongst peers
 Self-assess through reflection
 Describe when to seek help from health
professionals
Pedagogical Model
The pedagogical model for this learning
experience is a Goal-Based Scenario (GBS). The
mission the learners are presented with is his or
her personal health awareness and goal. Each
student’s health story and life story is their
personal cover story. The mission focus is unique
to each learner’s personal experience and health
journey. Control or empowerment, explanation,
discovery, and design structure the activities
that support the learner's journey. (Schank,
1993-1994) Personal trainers/coaches,
resources documents and links, a directory of
recommended medical professionals, collections
of exercises and activity opportunities are
available as resources for the learners.

Learning Activities
Below are examples of activities that leads the
learner through the Goal-Based Scenario.
Learners will have the opportunity to take
control of their health journey, explore
resources about health and experiences
throughout the scenario to troubleshoot and
make decisions confidently throughout his or her
daily life.
Part I Control/Reflective Activities
These reflections empower the learner to take
control of his or her mission
 Cover Story: Who are you? How does
your life story possibly relate to your
health? Why do you want to be healthy?
What is your family health history? What
are your personal goals?
 Reflect on personal challenges
 Reflect on progress
 Pre- and post- reflection
Part II Exploration
The learners are challenged to
 Research the systems in the body and
the effects of family health issues on
those systems.
 Troubleshoot which system affects your
personal health the most?
Part III Discovery Activities
The discovery activities provide different
exercises programs to perform in order to assess
and decided which experience works best. This
would take the form of a real-world experience.
 Try different exercises systems based on
body types over a period of time. This
may be due to different body challenges
or different ideal body shapes, for
example
 Decide which exercises work best and
choose a sport or activity that utilizes
that exercises system
Sonya Wein
Part IV Design Activities
This activity will allow the learner to create a
plan for themselves that will help them achieve
his or her mission and continue to implement the
skills they have learned in his or her lifestyle into
the future.
 Find a rhythm/a pattern and make a
plan/strategy
 Reevaluate the goal based on findings
 Achieve Goal
Scenario Operations through Collaborative
Activities
These are specific activities that help the learner
practice and apply the skills acquired.
 Shop with a peer
 Exercise with a peer
 Stay accountable to peers
 Talk to someone who has a similar
health challenges
Assessments
The assessments will take the form of the self-
reflections as well as the level of skills acquired
throughout the experience. At the start, the
students will write reflections as laid out in the
above activities Part I. As a summative
assessment, the learner will ultimately meet or
not meet his or her personal goal and achieve
the learning outcomes. Goal based learners, if
truly motivated, can continue to pursue his or
her mission until it satisfies his or her interest.
For this reason, by the end of the scenario, the
learners will be asked to reassess progress,
mission and learning. The summative reflection
questions will include the learner’s skills to
transfer knowledge to other areas of his or her
life.
