Model Answer Unit 2, Activity 4, Learning in Care Settings
This is a model answer. You might have listed some different ideas.
The adults in my care context use the common room for activities and generally face the traffic in this room when sitting down. To optimise the setting for a learning situation, I will rearrange the seating so that they face me instead and have their back to the traffic of this room. This will minimise distractions and interruptions.
To help create a dementia friendly environment I will use physical props such as flash
cards, books and a whiteboard to help illustrate the intended use of the space. The adults
in my care context have higher energy levels in the morning, and I will therefore do
language learning with them at this time. This will also allow us to make use of daylight.
When lighting is normal the attention and engagement duration of my participants is
higher.
