课程名称 Course Title
Implementation Science: from theory to practice
This course is an introduction to implementation science with an emphasis on its application in global health. Implementation science is the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic update of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, and hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services. Implementation science requires interdisciplinary efforts, with an intent to understand what, why and how interventions work in real world settings and to test approaches to improve it. This course provides students an opportunity to understand the core concepts, theories and frameworks of implementation health research in global health setting, and what research methods of implementation science can be applied in tackling key global health challenges in low and middle income countries (LMICs). We will discuss implementation challenges such as research design, theories, data collection, various stage of evaluation, policy update and scale-up as a continuum of implementation. Real-life cases in LMICs that applied implementation science will be explored on a variety of topics such as COVID-19, tuberculosis, HIV, antimicrobial resistance, diabetes, and hypertension. Students will form groups to apply implementation science frameworks, theories and methods in critiquing, designing and evaluating approaches in implementing evidence-based health interventions in LMICs.
课程大纲 Course Outline
"I will be able to teach courses in International Relations and Diplomacy, Conflict and Cooperation, Maritime Strategy and Maritime Security, Area studies with special reference to South Asia, Counter Terrorism and Counter Radicalization. Indian Ocean and Belt and Road Initiative, International Political Ocean economy, Indo-Pacific Strategy and China. I will be able to combine my experience as a naval Admiral, Foreign Secretary, researcher and scholar from a practitioner point and academic view point. I will teach the courses with very clear English and with the help of Power Point Presentations, videos and photos. I will pause to make sure that students understand me and ask questions to check their grasping power. I will provide a list of recommended readings and will share the intended Power Point Presentation in advance, which will enable the students to prepare themselves prior to the lecture. I will also give them group tasks; to study and present on a selected topic related to the subject area.
The course outcome will be measured by end-of-course group task and focus group discussion.
I will use English as a medium of instructions to conduct my lectures. I will also introduce theoretical aspect with regard to each topic and the relationship between theory and practice. I will be aiming at developing basic understanding, knowledge and analyzing and communication skill of the students. I will encourage students to engage in research work with a view to make them more interested and understanding the topic. I will encourage students to compare the learning to own experience as students of International Relations."
