Health professionals are being called on to be advocates for the planet to ensure health and well-being for current and future generations. Clean air, flourishing ecosystems, a stable climate, and nutritious food are required for health and well-being. Considering the deteriorating state of our natural environment, today's health professionals need to be advocates for a healthy planet. This places an onus on tertiary institutions to prepare graduates to 'take action' for the planet and all of its inhabitants.
This report outlines the development of a team-based Planetary Health Assignment that equips learners to use at least two of the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It was identified at the design stage that an effective planetary health educational intervention should not only encourage learners to take action, but also embed creativity, with the best products available for public scrutiny. Several pedagogical principles were used in the design (authentic assessment, learner-centredness, creativity, scholarship).
During the first five years of implementation, minor refinements were made based on learner and academic feedback. The assignment criteria sheet was improved to the point that it encouraged thoughtful and reflective submissions, and tasked learners to provide achievable and realistic solutions to pressing environmental issues. The marking rubric was also developed to provide quality feedback and insights for students.
The design of this assessment, framed by the SDGs, allows learners flexibility in their choices while still meeting the required learning outcomes. With the assignment underpinned by a robust design, it provides students with both knowledge and experiences about how they might take action on the SDGs and become advocates for a healthy planet.
呼吁卫生专业人员成为地球的倡导者，以确保当代和后代的健康和福祉。清洁的空气、繁荣的生态系统、稳定的气候和营养丰富的食物是健康和福祉所必需的。考虑到我们自然环境的恶化状况，今天的卫生专业人员需要成为健康地球的倡导者。这就要求高等院校培养毕业生为地球及其所有居民“采取行动”。
本报告概述了基于团队的行星健康作业的开发情况，使学习者能够至少使用 2030 年联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）中的两个目标。在设计阶段就确定，有效的行星健康教育干预不仅应鼓励学习者采取行动，还应嵌入创造力，最好提供可供公众审查的产品。在设计中使用了几个教学原则（真实评估、以学习者为中心、创造力、学术）。
在实施的头五年中，根据学习者和学术反馈进行了一些小的改进。作业标准表得到了改进，以鼓励深思熟虑和反思性的提交，并要求学习者为紧迫的环境问题提供可行和现实的解决方案。评分细则也得到了制定，为学生提供了有质量的反馈和见解。
该评估的设计以可持续发展目标为框架，允许学习者在满足所需学习成果的同时灵活选择。该作业以稳健的设计为基础，为学生提供了有关如何在可持续发展目标方面采取行动并成为健康地球倡导者的知识和经验。
