Method
The course incorporate various learning styles to ensure effective learning.
By integrating these various learning styles, the course aims to cater to the diverse ways in which adults learn, ensuring that the education on accountability is not only imparted but also internalised and applied.
This approach recognises that effective learning often happens when multiple senses and cognitive styles are engaged, leading to a more profound educational experience.
Visual Aids
Illustrations are used to explain concepts like the accountability cycle, the impact of one's actions, or steps toward responsible behaviour.
Videos
The Mad Bastards movie depict scenarios of accountability, both positive and negative outcomes. This helps learners visualise the concepts in practice.
Lectures and Discussions
Facilitators deliver content through talks, storytelling, or leading group discussions where participants share personal experiences related to responsibility and accountability.
Role-Playing
Participants engage in role-plays where they navigate situations requiring accountability, allowing them to 'feel' the process of taking responsibility in a controlled environment.
Interactive Exercises
Hands-on activities include participants working on projects that require them to plan, execute, and reflect on their roles and responsibilities.
Case Studies
The movie Mad Bastards is a case study on several characters for analysis, where participants see a hypothetical situation and write their interpretations or solutions.
Workbook & Journals
Participants are encouraged to keep a journal where they write about their learning, insights, or personal commitments to change.
Problem-Solving Tasks
Exercises include learners analyse a situation, identify the responsible parties, and propose solutions, appealing to those who enjoy logical reasoning.
Debates
Structured debates or discussions on the ethics, benefits, or challenges of accountability cater to analytical minds.
Group Projects
Working in teams to solve problems on accountability fosters learning through social interaction.
Peer Teaching
Participants teach each other about what they've learned to reinforce understanding and cater to those who learn by teaching.
Self-Reflection
Time is allocated for personal reflection, through meditation, guided imagery, or quiet contemplation of one's actions and their impacts.
Goal Setting
Activities include participants setting personal goals related to accountability, fostering introspection and personal growth.
Integrated Sessions
Sessions that combine multiple styles, like a lecture followed by group discussion and then role-play, ensuring that content is revisited through different lenses, enhancing retention and understanding.
