Wk 1: Changing behavior
Preparation
Watch the video below as an introduction to week 1
Now answer the question, "In which stage of behavioral change is your case study?" Assess your case study's readiness for Behavioral Change, do you find an indication of readiness? Use Transtheoretocal model of Proschaska. In which phase do you think they are?
Check both of the descriptions of the case study and fill in the answers for both case studies on https://b.socrative.com/login/student/ and use room name KERKSTRA
Preparation for the lectures:
- Read the open-access article by Buchan et al. titled: "Physical Activity Behaviour: an overview of current and emergent theoretical practices"
- Read the open-access article by Heine et al. titled: "Developing a complex understanding of physical activity in cardiometabolic disease from low-to-middle income countries"
- Watch the following YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17BP9n6g1F0&feature=emb_imp_woyt
Preparation for the case study:
Please introduce yourself on the padlet “The view from my window” describe and make a photo and upload it on the padlet. Check the example padlet where we introduce ourselves as tutors of the teams.
- Read the case and answer the following questions (bring this to the teamwork session)
- Team 1-4 have case study Nina
- Team 5-12 have case study Maria-Jose
- What are the main target behaviours for your case study?
Lectures
System thinking, the role of environment in changing behavior (Martin Heine, The Netherlands)
Behaviour is rooted within a complex interaction of determinants. The socio-ecological model provides an important framework for identifying and stratifying those determinants according to their proximity to the individual. Using a systems lens, we can gain more insight into the relationship between those determinants, and how they may impact an indviduals (e.g. physical activity) behaviour. During this lecture we will experiment with systems thinking as a way to gain a deeper understanding of the context in which behaviour is rooted.

Team work tasks
Discussion around the case:
Please start the session by introducing yourselves and discussing roles in the teamwork
Discuss the answers you had on the questions asked for the preparation and put your team answers in the padlet.
In which stage of behavioral change is your case study?" Assess your case study's readiness for Behavioral Change, do you find an indication of readiness? Use Transtheoretocal model of Proschaska. In which fase do you think they are?
Answer what is the main target behavior?
Set tasks who is going to work on which target behavior.
