This project will develop an understanding of the reasons for
Scotland's poor health record and what can be done to combat this.
Learners will look at regeneration projects for a local context and
then link this to their school experiences. They will carry out
research as a group and campaign for ideas, which can be
implemented within the school. The winning group will form a
committee and take responsibility for this project within the
school. This will be suitable for any age group - Primary or
Secondary (There is scope for linked project - lower ages may just
need to adjust content at start of project).
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. how to develop skills
employers are looking for and how can we improve our health
• Enterprising skills improved by developing creativity,
confidence, positive attitude; increasing motivation to learning;
taking responsibility and making decisions; consideration of others
through group work and discussion; raising achievement and
fostering ambition
• Developed employability skills: communication, planning,
organisation, time management, researching, co-operating,
contributing, sourcing, negotiating, analysing, reporting,
presenting, marketing
• Confidence of working independently from teacher-led lessons
demonstrated by setting own targets, carrying out research,
negotiating resources and managing time as a group
• Pupils take responsibility for their learning through making
decisions about assessment, roles within the group, timescales for
activities, important areas of research
• Learners have developed 4 capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Social Studies
