Infection Control as a Subject in the Secondary Level of Education: A Theoretical Outcomes-Based Course Outline
Macapagal, Joshua; Manlapaz, Christopher Paulo
Online Submission, Journal of Pedagogical Sociology and Psychology v2 n2 p52-58 2020
The 2020 pandemic outbreak made health organizations and governments around the world to implement health measures that significantly affected education. The impact of COVID-19 on education shows that educational institutions are not ready for a pandemic circumstance. Educational institutions were closed to prevent the rapid transmission of infection. The members of the community relied on lectures regarding infection control given by health educational institutions through distance learning. The affected communities heavily relied on expert's advice regarding infection control. Implementing a basic course regarding infection control at the secondary level may give us a different situation. This article proposes a theoretical course outline regarding infection control as a discipline. Preparedness in a pandemic outbreak can be reflected from the presented contents, activities, and learning outcomes of the proposed theoretical course outline. This article analyzes the rationale on why infection control should be a subject in the secondary level of education. A qualitative descriptive research design has been utilized in reviewing related articles for this conceptual study. The article also aims to show a theoretical course outline that may be used to guide the educational institution in implementing infection control as a discipline.
