Action 5.4.2 Practical exercises. Part 1.

The following actions aim to present activities for participants to put into practice the knowledge they have developed during the first part of DPTA_5 and during DPTA_4. Practical activities are proposed to test most of the DHL skills (skills: 6: adding self-generated content; 7: protecting privacy, will be the subject of DPTA_6) that participants will have to solve in groups or individually. The objective, when carrying out each activity, is to check that participants have acquired the DHL skills correctly. In addition, the overall health literacy of the participants will be checked and whether it has increased as a result of their participation in previous DPTAs.

The methodology of the activity will be the resolution of practical cases in pairs. The statements will be proposed to the group of 2 (either on paper or through the online tool). Trainees will use electronic devices to solve the cases and then present them to the rest of the group. The trainer can adopt different roles: either assisting in the achievement of the correct result or waiting for the trainees to achieve the result they believe to be correct and then confirming or correcting that result.
